The Shield TV is the first Android TV device to get the full Google Assistant experience, which allows for hands-free control of media playback, voice search, and smart home control: while it sounds similar to the Google Voice Search that was available in prior versions, it has been enhanced with a cleaner visual design and more capabilities. NVIDIA says that apart from a handful of functions, such as timers, alarms, and phone calls, the Assistant on the Shield TV can do everything that it can do on the Google Home.



Your Google Assistant is now available on Android TV, starting with NVIDIA SHIELD TV today and Sony Bravia TVs in the coming months. With your Assistant on Android TV, you can jump right into your favorite show, find the latest blockbuster, check the score of the big game, dim the lights and more— all with just your voice. To get started, accept the Google Assistant system update on your SHIELD and press your remote’s mic button after the device restarts. From there, you’re ready to sit back and relax with the help of your Assistant.
