Hi

Wonder if anyone can offer some advice. I was watching catch up last week but yesterday when I turned on the box I get nothing at all. The TV screen is black. I've unplugged box and router  and when that didn't work I put a paper clip into the reset hole and it's still not working.  The white light at the front is flashing. Any help please ?.

Hi @Anonymous User

 

If the screen is blank with no picture or writing at all this may be the HDMI. A few things to check

 

1. Is the correct source channel chosen i.e HDMI 1 or HDMI 2

 

2. Can you reboot the box and TV together by also removing the HDMI lead from both ends and putting back in and turning each device back on.

 

3. Try a different HDMI lead to see if you get a picture then.

 

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

 

Thanks

Hi Eddie

Thanks for replying. I have tried the reboot and taking out the hdmi cable but it's still not working. At the moment I don't have another hdmi cable to try. I will purchase one as soon as possible and try that.

Once again thank you for your help.

Hi,

If you've tried all the steps that @Anonymous User has suggested, I would think that your NowTV black box has died? If the box is under 12 months old and you've still got the receipt, you should be able to get a replacement if it was the fault of the equipment. There are some good deals on those box's at the moment. Plus with the free Entertainment/Cinema pass you also get, it pays for the box. (Argos and Currys etc)
