If something goes wrong
Troubleshooting on NVIDIA Shield
Stalling almost always turns out to be the network rather than the app. Play the same channel on a phone over cellular data first: if it is smooth there and stutters on the NVIDIA Shield, the problem is inside your house, and no support ticket will fix it.
If the app opens but the guide is empty, sign out and back in — the lineup sync failed and a fresh sign-in re-triggers it. If a single channel stalls while everything else is fine, that channel’s source is at fault and support can reroute it, which is exactly what the uptime SLA covers.
