Amazon Music can be used on the NVIDIA Shield TV to access both the regular catalog that’s included with an Amazon Prime subscription as well as the premium Amazon Music Unlimited service.

The software update also brings a variety of other improvements for this device. There’s 5.1 audio support for YouTube, customizations for quick settings, and automatic installation of software updates. NVIDIA does point out that this is now the first streaming box with 5.1 audio support for YouTube. Last but not the least, users in Canada, Spain, and Germany will now be able to use the Google Assistant on this device.

NVIDIA also announced today that it’s discounting the Shield by $30. The discount is applicable on the regular model with the bundled remote, the Gaming Edition, and the Smart Home Edition.
