[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACHILLES R32:
AT&T TV Android TV/ Fire TV FAQ​

Which devices does this app work on?

Shield TV 2015/2017 Pro and non Pro versions, Nexus Player , Mi Box and other Android TV boxes .

Also confirmed that the app works on Sony Bravia Android TVs 2017 and up models, anything above version 2.0.13.05128 will require location spoofing on Sony TVs. Continue reading if you have questions about location spoofing

Q: Which version do I install modified unmodified or High Bitrate?

You can install either one, but they cannot be installed simultaneously.

Tip: if you have any other apps installed that require the amazon app store to be side loaded, use the _amazon version.

The higher bit rate apk has been tested to work on shield TV 2015/2017, it most likely works on other devices as well but i have not confirmed . If you have a low end device and limited bandwidth please use the DTV Now_Amazon apk. Also see .txt file in Higher Bitrate folder if you have questions.

I want to thank Veeco for discovering this mod. And IcerJo for beta testing the highbit apks for me .

and for additional bitrate testing done by IcerJo see post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78761171&postcount=372

Q : Why do you have a modified version, how is it different?

The modified version does not require the amazon app store to be installed. All that is removed from the modified version is the amazon app store verification.

No longer updated after version 2.0.15.02146 (Please see .txt file in the modified folder or read original post for more details)

Q: Cant log into the App getting Error 201

Check the email or password you are inputting. There may be an extra space in the email field.

For example: you@email. com as opposed to you@email.com

Q: I have no picture, sound or get a error 40 message. What should I do?

Some users have reported that running the modified version results in video and audio issues. If you are having such issues with the modified version, try the unmodified version.

Q: Live TV has no sound, but on demand works.

Check the audio settings from the shield settings menu, users have reported that turning of surround sound or adjusting other sound options helped them resolve the issue

Q: Application can’t determine location or won’t play any channel (Gray Screen).

Enable both storage and location permissions and also under location select use Wi-Fi to estimate location

Sometimes it may take multiple toggles for the new permissions to register and a device restart maybe required.

Or you may need to spoof your location if using other Android TV devices such as Sony X900e , MiBox, etc. See last below for Spoofing instructions

Q: How to spoof your Location?

See method#2 ,if you don’t want to purchase app cloner

Download app cloner and see video for steps.

Location Spoofing is also necessary if you wan to run version 2.0.14.03143 and up on your Sony Android TVs .

Or if your Android TV device, fails to find your location even after you enabled the necessary settings and restarted the device multiple times. Once location is spoofed you

do not

need to re enable location and storage permissions.

Video on me using version .02146 on my Sony X900e with spoofed location.

App Cloner, is no longer available on the app store , see link to download. https://plus.google.com/communities/110152846393129525806

Premium features must be unlocked for location spoofing to work . Sideload the App Cloner apk and to purchase premium features search "App Cloner " on Google Play Store. Cost is $3.99

If you get cloned app is device locked message , re clone app but enable device lock and key in device # to do this go to
