    I have two Apple TV 4ks and now tv doesn’t work on either when I go into the app it just says nowtv is unavailable.

    Works fine on my Sony smart tv as an app but I like having everything accessible in one place .

    Are you using the right accounts?

    so Irish account will only work on the Irish Download from an Irish App Store
    Same with UK

    You cannot mix and match.

    Is it just a black screen? I have seen this happen before.

    Is the Apple ID been used to download the app an IRISH Apple ID?

    Is your apple tv and itunes linked to an Irish account? I think if not that may be why Now tv is stated as unavailable

    Another possibility is if you have exceeded the amount of 5 devices to the same now tv account

    nope, i have only just signed up, and i dont get to the point where i can even enter my login on the app,

    as others have suggested there must be some issue regarding regions altho i cant think why.
