I purchased the Harmony to integrate for Google home voice command of my Audio/Video system. While the Harmony Home Hub supports all my devices (even an older Denon receiver), the integration with Google Home does not allow some basic functions like changing source input selection on my Samsung 4K TV. You can create GH shortcuts like "Hey Google, TV ON" for many functions to avoid the lengthy "Hey Google, ask Harmony to turn on the TV" - but lots of setup required.

The shield tablet is a very well built tablet that has good performance. I only have a couple of small complaints.
1. The wireless controller required an update to connect to my tablet - for the first few days it just did not work - an update appeared and suddenly it worked.
2. I also purchased the stylus - which works well for a couple of applications - but does not store in the tablet or the case.
I do strongly recommend buying a screen protector and case - I lost my last tablet to a couple of seconds of carelessness that would not have been a problem with a case.

Using this scanner to scan many old family pictures. It is working well, though fairly labor intensive. Be sure to check the options in all modes of scanning.

Supports TV and other devices mounted on with the TV on a wall mount. This works well and hides nicely on the shelf above the wall mounted TV.

Will Android 7.0 Nougat work on this tablet? Also will it upgrade to Android 6.0 since it is listed as a Android 5.1 OS? Good reviews so far for this tab but want the latest OS in a tab.

I am running Android 7.0 on my newer version Shield

CAN IT SCAN ALL SIZE NEGITIVES OR JUST 35 MM

It has plastic holding templates that specifically hold three different film sizes (35 MM is one of them). I am not sure of what size the others are for, but likely medium format and 110. You should able to find the sizes in the manual. I would think you scan any negatives smaller than medium format.

Does this Perfection V550 scanner by Epson work with Windows 7 - 64bit ?

I have a Canoscan 3000EX scanner. No driver exists to run this scanner on Windows 7 -64bit. They refuse to provide one. So, I'm dumping Canon immediately. Will this scanner work with Windows 7 - 64 bit ( as opposed to Windows 7 - 32 bit ) ???
Yes I have used it with both Windows 7 64bit and Windows 10 64bit and it worked well with both systems.
