Hi @Anonymous User
Quick question.

Also what version are the two NowTV remotes are they the infra red version or the newer smart voice search version or you have both ?

Hi @Anonymous User
The smart voice remote controller will not work when setting up the older style black nowtv box.
So you need the older style infra red remote controller when setting up the black box.
You can check if the older style infra red remote controller is sending out an IR signal by following these instructions below.
Help tip If you've got a smartphone with a camera, you may be able to use it to see whether the remote is sending an IR signal or not. Smartphone cameras can 'see' a wider range of light wavelengths than the human eye, including infra-red light. This will generally only work on smartphones with a front-facing camera:
If the second remote is the infra red type remote controller and is sending out an infra red signal by following the instructions above, then make sure you point the controller close to the right hand front corner of the box where the infra red receiver is located.
I haven't setup a box in a long time and once on the Lets Get Started Message, either try pressing the right hand directional button on the remote controller or the OK middle button.
If that doesn't work and another factory reset by holding in a small pin in the reset hole on the back of the box for about 30 seconds and trying the above process again, then i am out of ideas.

Hi @Anonymous User
If nothing helps in my post, then maybe in the search box on the top of the Community Forum page type in "Lets Get Started" message to see if you get any hit results where somebody has resolved it.

Thank you so much @schnapps
Doesn't look like I'll be able to resolve this as I've only got 2 smart voice remote, I did try the reflection of the remotes on smartphone both working fine. It's just annoying as it worked fine before I factory rest the box.

Hi @Anonymous User
Unless you got either an old white or black NowTV infra red remote controller or know somebody who owns one to initially setup your older black box, then i don't know another way around it (apart from buying the correct remote).
Unless somebody on the Forum knows of another way ?

Okay so I've read through the links, I did try the repairing of the remote with the box even kept it close together
The box kept flashing white, all was fine before I factory rest it and now it won't move from 'Let's get started'
