Hi @Anonymous User
Out of curiosity does your NowTV Stick work with the NowTV supplied remote controller and who is your ISP where there may be something blocking it on your Router when using the App on your smartphone ?

Hi @Anonymous User
I don't own an iPhone, but you are not the only person encountering this problem.
See another thread linked below.

Sorry I don't know the answer how to resolve it, but I did flag the issue with a NowTV Staff member.

Hi @Anonymous User
Unless somebody on the forum who knows of a fix that uses an iPhone.
Then you may have to use the Roku App remote control feature on this App instead.
You can download the free Roku App from your phone Apps Store.

Hi @Anonymous User
I occasionally use the Roku App (not NowTV App) on my Android smartphone or Android tablet to control my NowTV branded devices and never had a problem using the Roku App has a remote control on the rare occasions that i use it (more old school and prefer a proper remote).
I am guessing with the phone with the Roku App on it is on the same wifi network has your Stick ?
If you have another smartphone or tablet has a temporary test, does that work with Roku App and Stick.
Unfortunately i can't help with the NowTV App with the Remote & Cast button features because i don't own an iPhone.

Thank u for replying... i answered thru my email inly to be notified later it did not send! i will try downloading the roku remote and see if it will work...
We used to have the remote control that came with the kit however it broke.. then we used our iphones as remote until suddenly there seemed to be no connection between the two... the nowtv homepage on my phone had a nowtv box on top right which u click to start the remote but that box disappeared even if i reset everything already!
