Hi @Anonymous User,

 

Downloading firefox is quite simple, all you have to do is download it from www.firefox.com then follow the clear and simple instructions and it's installed!

 

If you really don't want to do this I can only advice you the issue is being looked at and we're working on getting it fixed ASAP but as it's a technical issue I can't provide a definitive ETA.

 

Thanks

I have downloaded microsoft silverlight and restarted  many many times. I have cleared the browser history and tested silverlight under applications. Yet still I get the warning message that I need to install silverlight. 

I have spent £6.99 to watch a football match and I cannot access your service. I will be applying for a refund.

Bought a day sports pass to watch the Arsenal v Chelsea game yesterday. when i tried to activate the pass on my imac was told i needed a new version of Silverlight. When this was installed it still didn't recognise it in safari after two attempts to install and then re-install. The new version of the plug in was clearly installed on the mac and safari and the mac were both rebooted without success. Eventually had to download Firefox as a workaround. It worked using this although the picture quality was poor. As a result I missed the first 42 minutes of the game. This mac is only 6 months old and it's not a "rosetta Stone" issue which only applies to older Macs. And btw anyone know how to apply for a refund since none of the "contact us" links seem to work? Just getting a message "this page no longer exists". It's clear that the latest version of this plug in IS NOT WORKING in safari, this is a software issue and NOWTV need to sort this.

This should now be resolved - however I'll send you an email once I've taken a look at your viewing history.
