Disney Plus has been added to UK NowTV devices, and will be coming to devices in Ireland "very soon".

The NowTV Ireland Twitter account is cleverly managing expectations by no giving a more precise date

Looking for help if someone has been in the same situation.

Bought the Now Tv smart stick today. First off- I kept getting the “lets get started” screen after I connected to my WiFi and it searched for an update, it restarts after the update but then this just keeps repeating. I reset the stick.

Now I can’t connect to WiFi even though the WiFi connection bar is full and the router is right next to the tv.

Edit- I have reset the stick, router etc numerous times and still no luck

Anyone have this problem?
Thanks in advance

I don't remember having any problems, I remember having to go on line, with my phone/pc during set up to confirm WiFi etc.

Anyone else had Netflix stop working on Now TV? I've the black Roku box and when I launch the Netflix app I get as far as the red and black Netflix logo but no further. Just reverts back to now TV menu after that. Every other service (VM player, RTE player, 4OD, YouTube) are all working grand.

Hoping it's imminent. This morning there was a block on the homepage highlights(irish stick) saying Disney + available now, but nothing happens when you click it and still no app in the app store.

Any news of full HD arriving yet?

No unfortunately. It's called Boost in the UK and it's £3 extra a month for it. If it ever comes here I can't see Now TV charging €3, they'll prob add the usual top up for us Irish customers

They're aiming for this week, according to this tweet on Friday.

I though they might have tried for today, what with May the 4th, and all that, but I guess not.

It's now in the App Store for the box, and presumably it's also on the stick.

Yes, in the stick app store.

Surprising Sky News wasn't on it before now , is it in HD ? If the NowTv box had a Saorview terrestrial tuner in it,it wouldn't be a bad piece of kit, for combining pay tv and terrestrial channels.

a few years ago there was a smart now tv box (blue writing) in the uk which had an aerial input it was never marketed here but a few operated here and it worked fine for picking up terrestrial but the channels were not in order

I don't have the Entertainment Pass to check, but I would presume its 720p just like all the other live channels

How can I stop someone else using my NOW TV? I gave my details to someone else and I don’t want them to use it anymore. I changed my password and removed their device using the app on my phone.

Should they be logged out automatically? Is there a “sign out of all devices” option like there is on Netflix?

Obviously a friend so why dont you ask them to stop?

babynice · 27-05-2020 10:48PM

Well I thought they were a friend and would rather not have to speak to them at all to be honest.

Cant really help other than suggest you contact NowTV and cancel your account and set up another one.

Maybe someone else might be able to offer a different solution.

NuMarvel · 27-05-2020 11:07PM

I changed my password in the past and noticed that some devices could still access my account under the old password. And if that's the case, then removing the device might not work, because it might be added back on the next time they open the app. The only way to be sure is to remove the device, and then add other devices to reach the cap of 6 devices.

According to this page on the UK help site, resetting your password will bring you to a Manage Permissions page where you remove access to NOW TV services. I'm not sure if that applies on the Irish site though.

Lads, is the Premier League at 50fps on NowTV here?

No, that’s only available on Now tv boost, 1080p full HD, 5.1 Dolby digital and 50fps, UK ONLY, crazy! I watched Man City v Arsenal last night and it’s pretty bad quality. I’ve no idea when boost will be an option in Ireland

I subscribed to Now TV over two weeks ago and I’m really happy with it. The video quality is much better than I was expecting and haven’t experienced any buffering issues (touch wood!).
Unfortunately though, I didn’t really do my research beforehand and bought it on a whim online, which was the stick for €25 and the two week trial for cinema and entertainment packages. Today I was doing my grocery shopping in Dunnes and saw that they are selling the stick with both cinema and entertainment packages included for one month for €20!!
Feck sake, I feel like I’ve been ripped off by buying directly from Now TV themselves:(

Before your two week trial is up - cancel your vouchers - go through with the cancellation and click the box saying you cant afford it - and you might get a decent retention offer.

Yeah thanks for the tip! I actually did it earlier and was offered €9 a month for each package, and it didn’t go lower than that.
They are offering a bundle deal on their website that includes 2 months of entertainment/cinema for €25 so I’ll probably take that as it works out about €6.25 a month for each package which is pretty decent.

Can I buy the now tv box and watch rte player, netflix, virgin media player etc without paying a subscription. Where can I buy box?

You'll need a NOW TV account to be able to first log into the device, but you don't need an active subscription to use it after you've logged in. You can even keep using the device if you log out of the NOW TV app.

Argos, Harvey Normans, Tesco, Dunnes, just to name a few. FYI, the box has been replaced by the stick, but they're the same in terms of apps, access, software, etc.

Most places will sell the stick with a free pass of some kind, so that will be a good way to set up your NOW TV account as well. I think you'll have to provide credit or debit card details as part of the account set up. But you won't be charged as long as you cancel any free passes before they expire.

swoofer · 12-07-2020 01:34PM

Thank you for great reply, that bit about the stick is a great help as it will be a neater solution.

Just got an unsolicited e-mail from Now TV about their sports options and they appear to have withdrawn the €15 Sky Sports 7 day pass which I have purchased in the past to watch golf tournaments. Which typically run from Thursday to Sunday.

It's now either €10 for a one day pass or you sign up for a one month pass for €39 with auto renewal.
