2. some apps after installation keep crashing, incl astrogo.
still, mibox users are able to use this 8.1.93 but need mouse; remote will cause crash.

read last few pages for details:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3561305/+2360#bottom

for my tv, i failed to get 8.1.93 to work, from wherever.
the good news is there is one version i got it to work - 8.0.4.2.
try this version, see if it works.

do ask astrogo questions at the mibox thread as that thread is very active.

Hi, I tried installing the 8.0.4.2 onto my nvidia shield but it crashes. Do you have a version working currently?

Thanks.

ok, i am not using androidtv on shield but on an androidtv tv.

astrogo 8.0.4.2 was the only version that worked on my tv for a long time; other/later versions do not work.

today (or yesterday), 8.0.4.2 also stopped working, likely got phased out by astro support.

the good news is i was able to install the latest 8.1.98 and got it to work.

app is not in playstore; also can't get it to work using normal sideload.

what i did:

install a browser (i use brave), but think chrome or other browser will work too.

search for astrogo apk, find in apkpure or other.

download, open, log in, all good.

i hope that works for shield' androidtv as well.

Many thanks for the tips but it's not working.... I followed your steps but app crashed. Looks like no choice but to get IPTV.

guys, im thinking to buy this nvidia shield 2017.
right now im still using normal samsung LCD tv 1080p.

currently im using minix u9-h.
- good for video player since im using DS video( synology NAS) + mx player
- able to play Astro on-the-go, unifi TV
- sometimes use chrome for browsing

is nvidia shield can do all those as mentioned? also, since this shield dont hv physical keyboard ( my minix got air mouse with keyboard), u guys will using the D-pad remote to enter the input ? by selecting character on the display ?

Thanks it worked for me. But it's difficult to navigate, the app seems to be made for touchscreen.

glad it worked..
currently there is no official unifitv app for android tv, so had to use the tablet version..
yes, u need to use mouse to navigate..
if u dont have mouse or air mouse remote then u can use official Shield TV app on ur mobile and use the virtual mouse support to navigate..

download here >> http://www.nvidia.com/shield-app
support ios and android..

Ahh didn't know that. Thanks for the pointer!

Why not get 3rd party bluetooth air mouse remote?
Btw, what happen to your remote?

It died... after using for 1-2 years.

I am using an Ipego remote and paired with bluetooth. But somehow it doesn't 'wake' the shield up like its remote. Any idea?

Try this if u haven't, go to setting>security and disable 'Bluetooth LE Privacy'

If u have usb devices connected to shield then go to settings>system>usb mode and change it to 'compatibility'
