Issues with Google TV on Shield (UK)

by hboinay

Hi all, I have installed google TV on my shield pro 2019 back in October and everything has been working fine until recently. Now I have the following issues that have appeared in the last few weeks:

  1. When using NordVPN, the google tv UI isn't loading anymore, I was using Surfshark before and it was loading fine, now with nord I only get the apps row and that's it, no recommendations. In Surfshark I was able to select individual apps to use the vpn, others would bypass it and google tv was loading fine with all rows and tabs. In Nord I can only select apps to bypass it and I can't select launcherx (google tv UI).
  2. All my Netflix recommendations are gone, now I only get prime, itv and iplayer recommendations and everything from netflix is only available to buy or rent through google tv (GFY google). It was working fine until about two or three weeks ago, I was able to see netflix recommendations just like prime and other services and was able to "watch now" in netflix. I have checked in my google services and netflix is selected.

I'm in the UK by the way. Anyone else having similar issues, what gives?

Re #2: Netflix withdrew from Google TV globally. It's Netflix's decision (man, do they hate their subscribers), nothing wrong with the device.
