Does anybody know if the NowTV App is available as a download for the 'Nvidia Shield Box' as i'm very tempted to upgrade as Plex is not properly supported on the NowTV box - Also if anybody has the Nvidia Shield box with the Plex Media Server App installed, could you tell me if it has the option to 'View By Folder' as this option is missing from some versions and is very important for my personal setup.
Thanks

@4268Yeah, but the Now TV Box is a Roku box, but you cannot sideload more than on app (and I already have Plex installed) and the Amazon app is not available from the skinned Now TV interface. I know what you are saying - a stock Roku box will play it all, but I already have an Amazon Fire TV box & a Now TV box.

Thats true. I did brush the dust off my old Roku stick, and did wonder if that was the solution, but then I realised that there is no Kodi... At the moment I am using the Plex add-in inside Kodi (so only one app and not two). Has anyone seen the Roku Amazon Prime Instant Video file for Roku anyway (outside of the channel store). I would be intrigued if I could side load that onto the Now TV box...

Personally speaking....
Unless Android make it far more difficult to remove HDCP protection on (HDMI output connected) devices running their operating system, I can't see time when the NOW TV app will be supported....

Hi @Anonymous User,
I can't imagine that there'll be a NOW TV app anytime soon for Android playback devices that don't have in-built screens - for the reasons I mentioned previously.
However I really do hope that the NOW TV app makes it onto more TV's, including the Android OS based Sonys.
Cheers

Sky have always been very pro-active when it comes to copyright protection.
And as it's way to easy to disable HDCP on Android devices and capture the media stream, it's fairly obvious that Sky/NOW TV wont be opening-up that Pandora's box anytime soon 😉
