NOW TV box has suddenly stopped working.

Now TV Box been working fine till tonight then suddenly stopped working.Tried restting by pushing in the pin to restore it sees my network I enter correct password it goes through cycle then tells me cannot connect?I have a Virgin Media Superhub and all other devices connect to it fine.One of the suggestions I have seen is to check for udates via settings but when you do a reset you cannot get to that screen if it does not connect to the network wireless?

@Anonymous User it might be a bug with the latest firmware, however the temporary fix requires you making a change in the router. If you know how to log in to it you need to change the channel it uses from Auto, 12 or 13 to anything else (1, 6 and 11 are the recommended ones).
If you have no idea about changing settings on your router this guide from Virgin should help.

Welcome to the forum.

The problem isn't at your end, NOW TV have identified an issue causing this and have posted a message about it here

http://community.nowtv.com/t5/NOW-TV-Service-Status/Now-TV-box-issues-18-10-2016/m-p/403208

I'd suggest going to that post and clicking Topic Options>Subscribe (you need to be signed in to do this) and then you should get an email when there is an update

In the meantime, don't do anything to the box, just wait for further info from NOW TV.

Never had any problems with my box however this morning I turned it on and it just keeps flashing between different screens. Nothing works when I press buttons on the remote, tried to reset it but it just turns off then back on doing the same thing. Not really sure what the issue is.

For anyone else reading this, I'd suggest not doing a factory reset, just wait until we get an update from NOW TV.

Hi, my nowtv box all of a sudden switched off while I was watching a programme. It wont turn back on at all, I get the orange loading screen and then it switches off again! I've tried unplugging the box, have checked all of the cables, changed batteries in my remote, rebooted my wifi...Nothing seems to be working.
Please can someone help!
