When Now TV was being tested on Android, I was one of the Guinea-pigs to test the new service. I really like Now TV and own already own 4 set-top boxes. The problem is finding a device that can host all the TV apps out there, like MUBI and Amazon (sorry). One of the set-top boxes is a Rolu 3, which gives me more choice of what to install but it still doesn't cover what I want. So, I bought an Android set-top box. After all, I've used Now TV on Android devices many times before, right?
After installing Now TV, which seemed to work, I set up a new Now TV account, and signed on with them. Now TV starts without so much as a complaint, so imagine my surprise when I try to watch a TV show and I get told I can't use an HDMI cable. Well, it's a set-top box with no display. How else would I be viewing it? You allow Now TV and Roku devices to use HDMI, so what's the problem? I appreciate it's due to licensing, but really. Couldn't the Now TV app have warned me about viewing over HDMI before I set the account up?
A disappointing waste of time, effort and money. 😞
