Still unable to activate now tv box

Few days after the "fix" and still getting an error, meaning I can't activate my box.

 

Screen I'm on: Login Screen - password

What I'm trying to do: Activate the box

Error messages that appear: Sorry an unknown error occurred. Please reenter your username and password

 

Followed all instructions on this page, still no help

Hi @Anonymous User, 

 

Thanks for getting in touch, I'm sorry for the issues you have encountered with activating your NOW TV Box. 

 

Can you please let me know if you receive any error message? 

 

Are you able to change the wireless channel of your NOW TV Box?

This is beyond a joke now. Almost a month and still not a working box, neither black nor white.

 

Is there any where I can formally complain?

It seems this is not going to be fixed.

Hi @Anonymous User

 

I do apologise immensely for the time it has taken for this to be resolved for you. Have you been able to watch on other devices? Do you get the unknown error message? Finally have you tried to activate the box in another household?

 

Cheers

Hi @Anonymous User, 

 

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. 

 

Can you please let us know if you have tried resetting your router? 

 

Are you connecting via Wireless or with Ethernet cable? 

 

If you are connecting over wireless can you please try changing the wireless channel of your router? 

 

If you have tried all of the above, can you please let us know the serial number of your NOW TV Box? 

 

Thanks,

So, I asked about a complaints procedure? Still no working box in over a month.

 

(If this is an account issue why can't I just have another account?)
