Hi @Anonymous User 

 

It seems a few people have encountered this message on their NowTV Box or Stick.

 

Don't know if there is anything in this link thread below helps (there is a couple of workarounds mentioned).

I haven't seen this message myself on my NowTV box yet.

Hi thanks for getting in touch, I managed to get it sorted with the help of live chat eventually, but for future reference for anyone else, you have to press and hold the reset button on your stick until it comes up on your tv for Set Up and getting started, follow all the prompts and it comes back on, hope this helps anyone else, thanks

Factory reset (holding the button on the stick and going through the set up process) didn’t help for us. It just returned to the ‘unavailable’ message again when we reached the end of the process. Random presses of home and back after that did get us to the menu, though, and things are working again now.

 

We have two sticks and both had the same problem. 

 

That was 12 days of subscription wasted while we worked out that ‘trying later’ was not going to fix it and tried the advice for trouble shooting in the help pages. Not impressed! It would be useful to put the fix in the standard ‘help’ pages, rather than having it hidden away in the community forums.
