Customer Support Group

It is essential you join our customer group, as if we have an issue, or an update this is the only place we will tell you about it!
The group is located on a social media app called Discord.

Imagine there is a server side issue our end, we will post about it in the group so everyone is aware on what is going on, and when it will be fixed or a solution you need to action yourself.
If you didn't join, you will email us saying your system isn't working, and we do not have the time or resources to reply to every customer, so instead you will get a response saying please read the customer group, where you will find everything you need. So join now and save yourself the hassle!

=======================

How Do I Maintain My Device To Get The Best Performance?

The first thing you should do is exit the app and the end of each day, this is not by pressing the Home button, but instead press back back back until it exits. 
This closes the app down so it is not continously running, saving your internet and your device.

The worst thing you can do is just turn the TV off while you have a channel playing. This can leave the channel playing for hours in the background. You wouldn't leave your car running in the drive way!

The 2nd thing to do is often turn your device of at the wall and back on again, this gives it a full reset, especially do this if you are experiencing any issues as this solves 99% of issues.

Every few months, or when you are continously experiencing issues, it is a good idea to clean your device. (not physically!).
You can read a guide on how to uninstall, clean unused files and reinstall, giving yourself the best performance.

What apps should I use?

For Android and Firestick devices we have 2 main apps for you to use.
Nova Smarters & Nova Plus, both apps have the same content but have different layouts.
On your trial you likely installed Nova Smarters, there are 2 versions of Nova Smarters, Smarters UK & Smarters Non UK.

The UK and Non-UK app use different connection methods, we recommend you install both versions so you have 2 options to use incase of an issue with one.
Also why not try our new app Nova Plus!

To install each app open the downloader app, put in 96401 and then download and install each app, then login (same login for all).
For further instructions see here: Firestick or Android

Common FAQs you will be asking!

How can to request Movie / Series content

The Movies and series section features the latest releases, the classics, and the other content is rotated as requests come in. |
Not every request can be added as it depends on content availability and compatiblity, and also storage space.
e.g if you request an unpopular series from 1980 that has 100s of episodes that no one will watch, this is not good use of storage so it will be rejected.
You can request VOD for Nova Streams service here:
