Hi,

if you have an older TV but want to use the incredible Nvidia Shield TV you can use it without having a Shield PUC.

- Nvidia Shield TV:

- FLIRC USB-Dongle (to receive infrared remote control codes with the Nvidia Shield TV (2017 model))
https://flirc.tv/

- KODI Mediacenter Software (you can customize it in every way you want to make it look more "B&O" etc. )

I choosed an Apple TV Puc to use it with the Shield TV but I guess you can use any PUC for this.

- Install the FLIRC software on your PC/Mac/Linux computer
- Connect your Flirc dongle to your computer and use the Flirc GUI to start mapping keys.
- Connect the correspondig PUC infrared emitter to the FLIRC so that you can transmit the ir codes from your Beovision, Beosystem etc. to the FLIRC-Dongle.
  - In FLIRC-Software choose the full keyboard as controller (yes, the software already has a mapping for Nvidia shield, but that doesn't seem to play always right with PUC etc.).
- Map Up, Down, Right and Left to your remote.
- Map Enter to "Select" on your remote.
- Map Backspace to "Back" on your remote. Just an example, you can use every button that seems logical to you on your Beo 4, 5, 6, Beoremote one.
- Map Windows key + Enter to "Home" on your remote. Just an example, you can use every button that seems logical to you on your Beo 4, 5, 6, Beoremote one.
- Save your configuration on your PC/Mac, too.
- Connect the Flirc dongle to the Shield and start using the remote.

I easily control Nvidia Shield with Beosystem 3 and Apple TV PUC code.
