Now tv box won’t work

[Vickibeech]

Thought my nowtv box had died, it wouldn’t turn on, so ordered a new one. Set it all up and started an up date and walked away for a couple of minutes, came back to find its switched off and will not start up, when I press the home button on the remote it flashes a couple of times and that’s it

Try doing a factory reset to the box.

If that fails to fix it, then I think it’s died on you ☹️ My recommendation for a replacement would be either Amazon fire stick or Roku stick.

There are no new Now boxes. What did you obtain, and from where?

It sounds like you got a possibly faulty secondhand one, so besides all of @gavs82008‘s good advice, if you can’t get it started, send it back for a refund.

My box stopped working last year. It appears that NOW changed the settings which no longer accepted the use of the box. I had to buy a stck. The annoying thing was that no where on the website was ther any warning about boxes no longer accepted for connecting.

The only box that has stopped being supported is the White Box, all other NOW branded devices are still being supported. Only real difference is NOW no longer sale or even make their own devices, so if it stops working due to age etc. you need to get a suitable replacement such as Amazon fire stick or Roku stick.

If I recall correctly, anybody using a white box at the time would have been notified on screen that support was ceasing.
