Netflix is my go-to for streaming services. Mainly because there’s a dedicated “Netflix” button on my Shield remote that I keep hitting on accident.

Remap it to something that’s actually good

Remapped it to Jellyfin app on mine. Kind of ironic :)

the only regret I have is the inability to bind my jellyfin app to my remote Netflix button.

Depending on what TV you use, it might be possible.

there was a redditor that was insisting that it was Nvidia paying Netflix millions and millions of dollars for the privilege of having a dedicated netflix button on the remote, and not the opposite, Netflix paying Nvidia millions of dollars to have a sponsored button the remote

I do the same thing all the time. Need to figure out how to remap the button to load TiviMate instead.

As a side note, I really wish Nvidia would release a new Shield. I just ordered a new one yesterday because honestly, it’s still the best streaming box.
