When something goes wrong
The “Continue watching” row doesn’t show
It appears on the classic Android TV home screen. On Google TV it isn’t guaranteed (see the Google TV page).
My remote has no colour keys
Use the quick-menu shortcut (long-press OK) or the on-screen buttons instead: nothing is locked behind colour keys.
Nothing happens when opening a channel
Nipo shows a step-by-step diagnosis (connection, account, channel) and a report you can copy for support.
The app won’t install
Check that Android TV is up to date and that your box allows the install source you’re using (Google Play or the manual file).
