This is the first update for the legacy Shield boxes since last summer when Nvidia released Android 9 Pie. There's still no Android 10 here, but it's still nice to see Nvidia adding support for the new remote so quickly. Anyone who uses their Shield as a DVR manager will also be happy to see that you can now configure a NAS box on your network to handle all the storage. The update has already appeared on some of our Shields, so you might already have it on yours.
