Has anyone seen a working All4 app? I think I remember hearing something a while back about it coming to Sony Android TV's but didn't hear anything since.
When I go to install it from the web play store it says it's not compatible with my Nvidia Shield :(
Use one of they APK downloaders and then side-load it on to the shield.
I'm using Set Orientation - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation&hl=en_GB - to force it into landscape mode.
To navigate you can either use a mouse or use Mouse Toggle - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fluxii.android.mousetoggleforandroidtv - but this requires root which will prevent all4 from running.
You can get around the root detection by using the Xposed Framework - https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/883965/remap-shield-android-tv-remote-buttons-using-xposed-additions-updated-/ - and using the RootCloak module.
I have an update for you all, as of March 2022...
This is my conversation with Nvidia support today....
TLDR - it's not supported...the list of apps on the Nvidia Shield Google Play store is smaller than that on the full Play store (it only shows supported apps).
Imran: Hi, my name is Imran. How may I help you?
Andrew: Hi Imran. I'd like to find out if the Channel 4 app (called All4) works with the Nvidia Shield TV. I'm aware that it is available on the GooglePlay store but there appears to be many users for whom the app doesn't work for on the Shield TV.
Andrew: ((it's a UK app and I'm based in the UK)
Imran: Hello Andrew
Imran: If the application is available on GooglePlay store on shield, then it will be tested and will work
Andrew: Is the list of apps on the Shield google play store smaller than the list on the main google play store?
Imran: No, they are different. Not all application on main google play store are supported on shield
Andrew: Ah, i see, thank you. As I don't have the Shield yet, would you be able to look for me to see if the app is available on the Shield Play store?
Imran: Let me check if I can find this information
Andrew: thank you

Andrew Maxwell: here's what it looks like
Imran: No, this is actually not supported on the shield
Andrew: Ah, ok, thank you very much for checking for me. Very much appreciated.
Andrew: That's all thank you, thank you for your time.
Imran: You are welcome
Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer care.
You have disconnected.
You need to cast it from your phone sadly. Works really well though
