Question

Will the Playbase work with Shield TV?

We have an all Streaming household, read some limitations with play base, would like some clarification before the investment.

We are building a home, and I've been interested in the SONOS system for some time. I would love to build an entire home system. One fear I have is compatibility issues I've read with Netflix and other streaming services.

As a whole home streaming setup, we use Sling, Hulu, Netflix, Vudu, Plex, Pandora, Spotify, Amazon, and others for all our content. It's currently a simple setup.

NVIDIA Shield TV connected to a TV, using TV speakers. We have it in two rooms currently. Will eventually be three rooms, and then when our son is in high school four rooms.

Before I invest $700 on a play base, I would like to be assured we will have no issues getting the necessary audio on all of our streaming services.

I appreciate any input you can provide, and I will answer questions if anyone has additional.

ok thanks for confirming, hope spring eternal for the shield to do full DD+ to DD trancoding

The sheild itself doesn't have a decoder to do this afaik - so Netflix would have to add transcoding to the app I think.
