Hi @Anonymous User

So have you a nowtv smart Freeview box like the picture i posted in this thread where there is no Freeview TV channels or a standard nowtv black box where the live Sky Cinema channels are not shown on the now & next EPG or won't play ?

Hi @Anonymous User

When you say live TV do you mean Sky Cinema live movie channels or Freeview TV live channels ?

If you mean Freeview then you need a nowtv smart box like the picture below, together with a TV aerial plugged into the back of the box.

If you mean live Sky Cinema channels then if you are using a YouView box then this device only shows on demand movies only via the NowTV App.

What playback device are you trying to watch live TV ?

Hello. I have had my nowtv box for a couple of months no problem, I have been away for a few days so I turned off my plugs when I returned I turned on my plugs and tried to watch tv, I got the menu and could select apps or sky cinema but not live tv.

I don’t know what you mean by EPG?

all I know is that I could watch nowtv channels .... and now I can’t. The message says “unavailable try later”!

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

I replied to you on the other new thread that you posted on 😉.

 

EPG is short for Electronic Programme Guide which is the the live Now & Next TV programmes scheduled on your box.

 

Hopefully the link that i directed you too will work on your NowTV box.
