# Nvidia Shield TV for IPTV

URL: https://blog.vikingiptvofficial.com/iptv-on-nvidia-shield-tv/

> Why the Nvidia Shield TV is a favourite IPTV box, how to set up TiviMate on it, and the display and AI upscaling settings that improve the picture.

The Shield TV and Shield TV Pro have been around for years and remain favourites with IPTV users for three reasons: plenty of power, Gigabit Ethernet, and long software support. AI upscaling makes HD channels look sharper on a [4K](https://blog.vikingiptvofficial.com/4k-iptv-explained/) TV.

## Setup

- Connect Ethernet, sign in to Google and update.
- Install TiviMate from Google Play.
- Add your Viking IPTV account ([Xtream Codes](https://blog.vikingiptvofficial.com/xtream-codes-login-explained/)) and the guide loads automatically.
- In TiviMate settings, turn on **Start on boot** if you want live TV first.

## Settings that help

Setting | Recommendation | 
AI-enhanced upscaling | Enhanced or High for HD channels; off for 4K channels | 
Match content frame rate | On, if your TV handles mode switches well | 
Display resolution | 4K at 59.940 Hz for most regions, 50 Hz in Europe for broadcast sport | 
Refresh rate switching in TiviMate | On | 

## Shield TV vs Shield TV Pro

For IPTV, the cheaper tube-shaped Shield TV is enough. The Pro adds more memory and USB ports, useful if you also record to a USB drive with TiviMate Premium.
