Looking for Android TV users to help test NaboTV

I've been quietly building NaboTV for the past few months, and we're now up to 65 beta users.

My current focus is Android TV, and I'm looking for more Android TV enthusiasts who are willing to help shape the app before a wider release.

The goal of NaboTV is simple: make it easier to find something to watch, regardless of where it's available.

Right now you can:

  • Browse movies and TV shows across your streaming services
  • Launch directly into supported streaming apps
  • Track what you're watching across services
  • Browse your Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin libraries alongside commercial streaming content
  • Get personalized recommendations in one place
  • Use your phone as a remote to browse and launch content on your TV

There's still plenty I want to build, but I'm trying to get the core experience right before opening it up to more people.

If you'd like to be part of the next round of beta invites, you can join the waitlist here:

I'd also love to hear what features you'd want in an Android TV launcher or media hub that today's platforms don't do well.

Replacing the default launcher

What Android TV devices allow you to actually change the default launcher? I primarily use an NVIDIA Shield TV, but even though I can go into the settings and change the default launcher, unless I use adb to disable the default launcher, it always dominates. I've seen multiple posts about other launchers for Android TV, so I'm curious if there's a cleaner workaround or if this is just specific to NVIDIA Shield TV devices.

NaboTV Beta Invites Sent

I just sent out the first batch of invites to NaboTV. I know many of those people came from this subreddit, so I wanted to follow up with a link for anyone else who wants an invite. I have three NVIDIA Shield TV devices, so it is by far the most exhaustively tested of my Android TV devices.

Anyone using the system can submit feedback directly in the app, or feel free to post here.

What would your ideal Android TV home screen actually do?

I’m building a remote-first Android TV launcher for people who bounce between Plex/Jellyfin/Emby and streaming apps. The pain I’m trying to solve is: "I don’t want to remember where I was watching something, what service it’s on, or which app I need to open."

For Shield users: what’s the most annoying part of your current TV workflow? Is it discovery, watchlists, continuing shows, Plex vs streaming apps, launcher clutter, or something else?

I’m looking for feedback first, and if there's interest, I'd be happy to offer early access when it's ready.
