Hi! I understand that when you choose a programme in the NovaTV app, the screen goes blank. Let's try to get that sorted out together.

First, just to clarify a couple of things:
- Is the screen going completely blank (black), or is it showing some error message?
- Has this happened recently after any updates or changes to your device or app?
- Are you using NovaTV on a PC running Windows 10 via a browser or a dedicated app?

In the meantime, here’s a step-by-step approach we can try:

1. Restart the App and Device
- Close NovaTV completely and reopen it.
- Restart your Windows 10 PC to clear any temporary glitches.

2. Clear Cache and Temporary Files
If you’re using a browser:
- Clear your browser’s cache (temporary files) as this can sometimes cause display problems.
- Then, reload the NovaTV page.

If you’re using an app:
- If possible, clear the app cache via its settings or reinstall the app to reset its data.

3. Check Network Connection
A slow or unstable internet connection can cause streaming issues that result in blank screens.
- Try switching from Wi-Fi to a wired Ethernet connection if available.
- Restart your router for a fresh connection.

4. Update Software
- Make sure your Windows 10 system and browser/app are up to date.
- If there are any updates for the NovaTV app, install those as they may fix bugs.

5. Test Another Browser or Device
- Since you’re on Windows, try accessing NovaTV using a different browser like Chrome or Firefox to rule out browser compatibility issues.

6. Check Graphics Drivers
- Sometimes, outdated graphics drivers cause display issues. You can update your graphics drivers via Device Manager in Windows or directly from your GPU manufacturer’s website.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, I can help you try some advanced troubleshooting or check if there’s a service outage or reported bug.

Could you let me know if you’ve already tried any of these and what the outcome was? That way, I can guide you better from there.

Are you satisfied with this initial plan?

DANIEL, THE BLANK SCREEN PROBLEM IS ON A NVIDIA SHIELD BOX

Thanks for letting me know you’re using an NVIDIA Shield Box. That helps a lot in narrowing down the issue.

When the NovaTV app goes to a blank screen on the Shield, it often relates to either an app glitch, HDMI connection issues, or sometimes the system software interactions.

Here’s a tailored step-by-step troubleshooting plan for your NVIDIA Shield:

1. Restart Your NVIDIA Shield
- Unplug the Shield’s power cable.
- Wait around 30 seconds.
- Plug it back in and turn it on.
- This can clear any temporary glitches causing the blank screen.

2. Check HDMI Connections
- Make sure the HDMI cable is firmly connected between your Shield and TV.
- Sometimes switching the HDMI port on your TV to a different one can help.
- Try unplugging the HDMI from the Shield and TV, then reconnecting it.
- Avoid using HDMI extenders or switches during testing, if possible.

3. Clear NovaTV App Cache and Data on Shield
- Go to Settings > Apps > Find and select NovaTV.
- Choose Clear Cache, then Clear Data (this will reset the app but won’t delete your account info).
- Restart the app and try running the program again.

4. Update the NVIDIA Shield and the NovaTV App
- Go to Settings > Device Preferences > About > System Update to ensure your Shield is fully up to date.
- Visit the Google Play Store on the Shield and update NovaTV if an update is available.
- Some blank screen issues have been linked to outdated software versions.

5. Adjust Shield Display Settings
- Sometimes the resolution or HDR settings cause black/blank screens with certain apps.
- Go to Settings > Device Preferences > Display & Sound > Advanced display settings.
- Lower the resolution setting (e.g., set to 1080p if it’s 4K) and disable HDR temporarily to test if the app works without a blank screen.

6. Reinstall NovaTV App
- If clearing cache and updates don’t help, uninstall NovaTV completely.
- Reboot your Shield, then reinstall from the Play Store.

If after all these steps the blank screen persists, it might be helpful to check if there are known issues with the current NovaTV build on Shield or seek an update from the developers.

Would you like me to guide you through any of these steps in detail? Also, let me know if some of these steps were already tried so I can suggest what’s next.

Is there an update for NovaTV app compatible with NVIDIA Shield?

Great question! Regarding NovaTV app compatibility and updates for the NVIDIA Shield, here’s what I found for you:

- NovaTV can be installed and used on NVIDIA Shield devices, as it's supported on many Android TV platforms including Shield3.

- NVIDIA regularly releases system updates for the Shield, including major upgrades like the recent Shield Experience 9.2.1, which improve system stability and compatibility with apps2. Keeping your Shield updated is key to having better compatibility with apps like NovaTV.

- However, there is no specific mention of a dedicated NovaTV app update aimed exclusively at NVIDIA Shield compatibility. Most updates come through the standard Android TV app ecosystem via the Google Play Store.

- Some users experience issues after major Shield system upgrades (like moving to Android 11), which can affect how NovaTV interacts with the device, but app or system updates often address these over time10.

My recommendation:
- Make sure your NVIDIA Shield system is fully up to date via Settings > Device Preferences > About > System Update.
- Keep NovaTV updated through the Google Play Store on your Shield.
- If you encounter issues after a system update, checking NovaTV’s official support forums or Shield community forums for patches or workarounds can help.

Would you like me to guide you on how to check for or apply these updates on your Shield?
