Can now pause and rewind live tv

[Anonymous User]

Have noticed that I am now able to pause and rewind live tv channels on my Now TV black boxes. Thought this feature was only available on the now tv stick.

Both my black boxes received a system update today.

Looks like you can now pause NOW live TV using a full blown Roku Player 😁.

I haven't used my Roku Players in a while, but was having a play around with my Roku Express tonight and noticed that NOW live TV pause has been added which i wasn't aware of.

Going to check my Roku Stick Plus tomorrow to see if it's the same (can't see no reason why not)

NOW live TV Pause is also available and working on my Roku Stick Plus 😁.

This is massive news, wonder if Android devices such as Amazon and Sony Bravia TVs?

Hi @gavs82008

From what I can tell so far only Roku and the newer Apple TV boxes gen 4 and above now seem to offer Pause NOW live TV like the NOW branded boxes and Stick that had this feature previously.

I checked my Amazon Fire Stick and Youview box NOW App (I am not a BT TV customer) and no live pause feature is available.

I did ask a NOW staff member if any more devices will be added to the list (still waiting for the answer).
