Now box has frozen

Just came to use my now tv box and the screen is frozen on the homepage, remote is unresponsive and it has a white light on the front of the box, tried new batteries and reseting box but still no joy.

Anyone had this happen to them and if so what can be done to cure it?

Thanks

Paul

Just to add a bit more info,

I've tried doing a hard reset a few times, it's now stuck on the setup page and unresponsive with white light

I've also tried unplugging for 5 minutes and trying again

The box is normally left plugged in over night.

Hi @Anonymous User

 

Sorry to hear this, Would it be possible to reset your router and then reset your NOW TV Box and then try again ?

 

Failing that if you can turn on the WIFI hotspot on a mobile phone, connect the NOW TV Box to that and then carry out a Software update on the box, then try to connect back to your home WIFI again.

 

Hope it helps

Welcome to the forum.

 

NOW TV have identified an issue causing this and have posted a message about it here

 

http://community.nowtv.com/t5/NOW-TV-Service-Status/Now-TV-box-issues-18-10-2016/m-p/403208

I'd suggest going to that post and clicking Topic Options>Subscribe (you need to be signed in to do this) and then you should get an email when there is any news.

 

In the meantime I'd recommend not doing anything to the box.
