There's the problem, from what i understand the NowTV app on your mobile device will only cast to Android TV's with the Google Cast feature (Mirror casting is not supported).

 

If you want to watch NowTV on the second Sony (non Android TV) then you may need to look at a separate Chromecast dongle (UK supported only) or some other NowTV supported devices.

 

Here's a link for supported NowTV devices.

Hello, i dont have a seperate chromecast device connected to my tv...it is built into Sony tvs...i believe its called miracast. When i try to cast now tv the app finds my Sony 55" tv but not the other tv. The utube app finds both tvs.

Are both Sony TV's using the Android operating system with the Google Cast feature or is the second Sony TV an older model ?

 

If both Sony TV's are the Android version then i would make sure that both the Android and Google Cast software on the second TV Is fully up to date.

The second tv is the 2017 non-android model. I will double-check that everything is up to date when i get home from work.
