So when you added a device to the Harmony app, you added the Nvidia shield rather than the 4K? Did you have to pair the Harmony Hub via Bluetooth which would show as a keyboard in the 4K settings?
Edit: Yes the Harmony Keyboard by bluetooth is necessary.
Hmm. I used Google AndroidTV, which brought up the Asus Nexus Player. It works fine, but the keyboard doesn't function, though I just use the Android TV app on my cell phone for keyboard inputs.
I just tried Nvidia Shield and it works the same as the AirTV Player did for me. No on-screen keyboard. I can use the keyboard in the Harmony app, but nothing on screen to use with the remote. It also disables the on-screen keyboard using the TiVo remote once the harmony is paired.
Ok, I added the Shield and it works well enough for the moment. I took a screen shot of the Harmony phone app open to the Nvidia shield. If you look at the bottom there's a TiVo icon. What is that?
I couldn't get it to actually control my Stream 4K so I just set up a Watch TV command that switches the TV and receiver to the right input. I don't use the remote, just the hub for Alexa control, so not a big deal.
Hi Dan, you know that it controls the 4K by Bluetooth. Did you pair your Hub with the 4K through Bluetooth? To do so you need to use the phone harmony app, not the desktop app.

I used the NVidia Shield profile first. Deleted it a few weeks ago and re-added as TiVo Stream 4K and discovered the Beta profile. I was using that until I saw this mention of a "TiVo Media Player" profile. I had to use Manufacturer "TiVo", Model "Stream 4K" to get it. Been using it since. It maps most of the Stream's remote buttons. Some (the "i" and "Live") are missing. I think they messed up "Live". If you map "Live Channels" using customomize, it launches the Live Channels app.
I am using my harmony hub elite and added the TiVo media player as a device. It’s all working fine except that I cannot get the soft keyboard to pop up on the TV when I have to type in, for instance, the name of an app. Anyone else having this issue?

For Harmony Hub, don't you go to Upgrade Harmony in the App and select Add Keyboard? And then put the Stream in to Discovery Mode?
That's how I did it for my Raspberry Pi Kodi boxes.
