Hi @Anonymous User
what device are you using and have you previously been able to watch now TV on it before? If you have the device you're trying to use should be one of your registered devices.
You can have up to 4 devices registered to a single now TV account, a device becomes registered when you watch now TV content on it for the first time. Once you have added your first four devices a device limit of one device change per calendar month comes into effect (which means on the first of every month. You can swap a device again, but note that device limits do not stack so if you haven't used your swap in the previous month, you won't then have two swaps on the next calendar month) , but if you time it right, you can swap to devices in quick succession (if you were to swap a device on 30 April, you would be able to swap another one the day after on 1 May)
The other thing that would be causing this issue is if you're using a PC and you've just done the Windows 10 upgrade. Have you just done the Windows 10 upgrade? If you are now on Windows 10. It's recommended you use the now TV Windows app instead of Silverlight . The now TV Windows app can be used as long as you're not using VGA as your display interface.
If you're using Windows 8 or above you can use the now TV Windows 8/10 app instead of Silverlight. This bypasses Silverlight completely, which means you should have far less issues. The app can be downloaded using the Microsoft store on Windows 8/10. It is downloaded and installed free of charge, but you will need a Microsoft account.
Be aware that the nowTV app will be seen as a different device by now TVs systems. So if you have four devices in your account. You would need to remove one of them
Another bonus of the Windows 8 app is that you get 720p HD on demand.
Live chat will probably sort out the devices issue for you. Now TV are usually very helpful with issues like this

Hi @Anonymous User
As the signature on my forum posts says I'm not a member of staff. Only a member of staff can sort out your device manager. To speak to live chat in order to get this resolved use the information I gave you in my post above the device manager is quite a complicated affair and sometimes it has been known to do things. It shouldn't. The device limit is only meant to kick in once you've added your first four devices
I hope you get it sorted
EDIT
And I just noticed your latest post after I hit post
One thing to note in order to use live chat. You will most likely have to use a laptop PC, desktop PC or Mac use of a mobile device is not recommended.

I have the same problem. I've been watching Now TV on a monthly entertainment pass for the last few months. it's not fue to renew until next week, but tonight when I tried to watch Modern family, I got a notice asking me if I wanted to buy a monthly pass. No thanks - i already have one! I'm using an Apple TV box to stream. Hope someone can advise.

Hi Tom, welcome to the forum 🙂
