Troubleshooting IPTV Level Up on NVIDIA Shield
- Black screen for a second when changing channels
- That's the TV switching frame rate (AFR). Turn AFR off if it bothers you more than judder does.
- AI upscaling option is greyed out
- It only works on 1080p-or-lower content at 30 fps or less, and only on the 2019 Shield models.
Tips for a better experience
- Shield Pro has 3 GB RAM and USB ports — use TiviMate's recording feature (Premium) with a USB drive.
- Pair a Bluetooth keyboard for faster searching in big VOD libraries.
