Nvidia keeps trying to turn its Shield TV into the indispensable set-top box of the home. It combines TV, movies, music, games, and now a deep integration with voice-based remote controls via Google Assistant.

Shield TV is a web-connected device that brings apps to the living room. It can stream games or movies to your TV, and its Shield Experience 6.0 upgrade now offers Google Assistant voice commands, enabling you to speak the name of an actress and to see all of the movies available on your TV apps, from Netflix to HBO. You can ask it questions or get it to do things like turn the lights on and raise the shades when you get home.
