No transmission of Norwich v Wigan

Hello – I am new to NOW

Yesterday I bought a day pass to watch the Championship Match Norwich v Wigan and downloaded the NOW app to my desk top computer  ( Windows)

I went to your website at 12.10 pm today and pressed the > button on the Norwich v Wigan panel and all I got was an invitation to buy a passes for Premier League games ! I tried this about 6 times with the same result and then gave up

Very disappointing and a waste of £11.99.

A refund please

Why did this happen ? What advice can you give should I try again next time you feature a Norwich game ?

Hi @Stibbo 

 I use these two website links below to find out what Championship football is on Sky.

https://www.live-footballontv.com/live-championship-football-on-tv.html 

https://www.skysports.com/watch/football-on-sky 

If any of the matches are on the Sky Red Button (called NOW Bonus Sports Streams) you unfortunately won't get them with a Day Sports Pass and need a Monthly Sports Membership and a PC doesn't support the NOW Bonus Sports Streams.

See if NOW live chat can offer you a refund.

Hi @Stibbo 

Here's a NOW linked help article with some information about Bonus Sports Streams.

https://help.nowtv.com/article/sports-membership 

Sky don't get all the Championship games and the games that tend to pop up on the red button service (NOW Bonus Streams) are usually in clusters during the season and not available all the time where there is usually gaps on the Sky Red button service (I am assuming it's the agreement in place between the EFL and Sky ).

Hi @Stibbo 

I just looked at the Sky TV planner and the Norwich v Wigan Game started at 12 noon on both Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football.

I don't use a PC for watching NOW and can only think you logged in with the wrong NOW account details.

NOW live chat will be your best bet for further assistance.

Did you log in on the Now app and activate the Day pass once logged in?

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
If you take an offer that comes with a ‘free trial’ of Boost or another Membership, Cancel them straight away. You will still get the full duration of the trial, and if you decide you do want to continue with one or another of the trial products, just revisit the Cancel, and UnCancel it.

Hi @Stibbo 

Did your internet browser take you to the NOW Republic of Ireland website, where in the past I have come across it sometimes defaults to the wrong region.

Hi @Stibbo 

Are you a ROI customer or a UK customer, because your first post mentions £11,99 and your post today mentions NOWTV ROI help.
