I have noticed a couple of iPad owners have reported this in the last 48 hours.

I don't own an iPad so i can only suggest the basic stuff like, reboot your iPad & Router and see if deleting and re installing the NowTV App makes any difference.

If still no luck, speak to nowtv live chat for further assistance.

Thank you, will try and reinstall app and see if that makes a difference.
I’ve tried turning off the iPad doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.
What I did do is turn off the subtitles do you think that might have
something to do with it?

Hi @Anonymous User

I doubt switching off the subtitles would have effected the NowTV App not working, but see if switching back on subtitles again gives you access playing content on the NowTV App and if so maybe report the bug to live chat.

Another thing to double check in your iPad settings is that your iPad is set to the UK region assuming you are in the UK and not a nowtv Republic of Ireland customer.

I found yesterday that it worked on my tv and on the stick but wouldn’t work on iPad for a few hours then it was suddenly fine.

Tonight it’s been working fine but has now stopped working.

Thanks for your suggestions @schnapps. I’ve rebooted and reinstalled and no joy so will contact customer services tomorrow and see what they say.

Guys,

I've been getting this message for about a week now. Would it have something to do with a beta release of IOS recently?

I tried reinstalling the app but still have the issue.

Bizarrely, I get it on S1E1 of The Wire.....but not other episodes. I can't watch any of the Pacific...........very random but very frustrating!

This morning, I tried 6 programmes.....none of them work......yet I only have the issue on 2 of them now........4 hours later.....

I’ve also been getting this!! It’s only on my IPad all my software is up to date and I’ve contacted help twice and all they said was uninstall and reinstall and it keeps happening!! It’s happening on TV programs and films now! What’s the point of paying for something I can’t watch!!
