Hi @Anonymous User
Sounds like the stick is stuck in it's screen saver mode.
I don't know what trouble shooting steps you have been told, but i would try rebooting the stick first by switching off the power to the stick.
Then maybe try a different HDMI port on your TV and use the power plug adapter that was supplied with the stick.
If nothing is happening when you click the buttons on the remote try re pairing the remote with the stick.
Instructions here.

Should there be still no response between the remote and stick after re pairing it, then maybe try a full factory reset by holding in the small reset button when the stick is powered up for about 10 secs.

I have tried all of those things and the stick is still just giving me black screen. Is there any way that I can get a replacement stick do you know?

Now no longer supply Now TV Sticks. The nearest thing would be a Roku Express or Roku Stick, though an Amazon Firestick is an alternative choice (but rather second best to Roku in my opinion).
I suppose you have checked you can’t get the Now app directly on your TV?

Hi thanks for this. I am going to update my Fire stick to get the app on there

Hi @Jon4
Any lights showing or flashing on the Stick itself ?
Have you got another TV to temporary test the Stick on ?
NOW don't sell their NOW Stick or streaming boxes anymore and these devices have been discontinued.
If you need a replacement look at something like a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick.

Hi thanks for this. I have a Fire stick but only 1st generation, so I will update to get the app
