My Xbox one wouldn't load now TV but other apps worked fine.
I deleted to re install and now the installation won't even try to start. I have hard reset my Xbox and network. I have installed other similar apps fine. But still no luck with now TV. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much! Followed this fix and worked right away. It still wouldn't install normally for me before trying this, seems to be 3 days later still no fix from NowTV or Xbox... shambles. Cheers!!

Hasnt worked for me! Is there anything else to try?!

Did you change secondary aswell? I had to switch my Xbox off and back on after changing dns settings

Yes done both

It appears it's not app related but Microsofts latest update. Microsoft store on all platforms is affected so any apps or trying to install apps are affected. It seems to be related to US and UK's main internet providers (Comcast and BT). A workaround is to change your DNS settings to something like google dns (8.8.8.8 then 8.8.4.4) but I suppose any other free alternative would do. I had to do it on pc and xbox to get everything working again. I also had to go into my router settings and change the dns settings aswell (google dns). Now everything is fine. BTW it wasn't just Now TV app that wouldn't work or reinstall. Spotify and Netflix also gave me the same issues and they were the only ones I bothered to try so it could be many more.
To change DNS on xbox 1 press xbox button (the one lit up on controller), tap right to the cog (settings), select network settings, select advanced settings, select DNS, select manual, primary dns is 8.8.8.8, secondary is 8.8.4.4 then restart xbox.
If the result is the same as before, like it was with me, then your router probably needs the same DNS setting applied.
Before I did this I couldn't download apps on my pc. I couldn't even run an update check. It would fail. Now tv on xbox wouldn't start. Uninstalled and tried to reinstall but it would fail. Since changing DNS on my xbox, pc and router everything works fine.

It's all well and good to blame the problem on Microsoft but at the end of the day, without the help of yourself and other kind customers, we would still be stuck without the service for which we are paying. Why couldn't someone from NowTV give us the solution? Why have they not got a quick line to Microsoft in case of times such as these? NowTV have instead displayed a deliberately inconsiderate attitude to their customers and I hope others will join me in dropping their service.

Yes! Success!! Turned it off and on again. Thank you so much. NO THANKS TO NOW TV. Shocking customer services
