Hello to all at NOW TV, Please can you help? Everthing was working fine until last night. And then for some strange reason I can't access and watch any movies and/or programmes due to problems with microsoft silverlight. I've tried every solution in the help section and on the forum to no avail. I'm prompted with this message as shown below:
Sorry, you’re not quite ready yet...
You need to install or update Microsoft® Silverlight™ to watch NOW TV.
After installation, refresh this page or restart your web browser.
INSTALL / UPDATE SILVERLIGHT™

Having exactly the same issue as everyone else have installed & uninstalled then re installed and made sure the second box is unticked on playback. Then downloaded firefox and I get a little bit further in that it says loading and the circle spins and spins and spins and spins.. and spins a bit more.. and then a little bit more.. and then doesnt give me the option to stop it spinning or to sign out or anything else. So I updated my mac aswell and re checked all the silverlight bits box still unchecked and it still doesnt like it.. frustrating doesnt even start to cover it!!

This seems to be an issue that only surfaced in 2016. I never used to have this issue ever. I can't even watch NOW TV on any mac because of this. I understand that you need DRM but honestly there are better options out there.
I have literally tried everything and dug deep into the /Library to clean any trace of the old install. However, no matter what I do NowTv keeps telling me to install Silverlight!

Hi @Anonymous User @Anonymous User
Thanks for the information, sorry to hear nothing has helped. Out of interest have you tried to play out by downloading Firefox?
Cheers

Hi @Anonymous User,
Thanks for getting in touch.
I would just like to let you know that I have sent you an email in regards to your query.
Are you also able to provide us with the following information:
The operating system you are running on your Mac
The Silverlight version you have installed
Can you please also take a screenshot of the error message that you receive when you try to play NOW TV and once the latest version of Silverlight has been installed?
Thanks,
Karl

I too am having the same issues with Silverlight and Safari. Firefox sometimes doesn't work properly on my laptop, which is why I use Safari. I have tried everything to resolve the issue but nothing seems to be working.
I have had this issue since December and the fact that no resolution has been found for a problem that several people are having, is frustrating. Will this ever be fixed?

Hello I am on a MacBook Pro, 2 years old, I have downloaded Firefox, selected "always activate" for Silver light and STILL not working!
I am one of a growing number of people very frustrated by this.
Your answer for everyone seems to be "download firefox" - but that doesnt work me, and others i've seen on here, can you please suggest a next step....if there is one??

I have tried everything & nothing seems to work.
I mentioned previously that Firefox doesn't always work on my computer, which brings me back to square one.
It is frustrating that I have not been able to use my NowTv account since November and we are now heading into March.
