This NowTV guide article linked below explains about a TV license using the NowTV service.
http://help.nowtv.com/article/TV-Licence
No live Freeview channels on the current NowTV boxes (however keep an eyeout for an official announcement coming out at the end of this month). :
Like 4268 mentioned, there are the BBC, ITV, All 4 and Demand 5 apps that are available on the existing NowTV white and black boxes.

Don't worry clicking on any of the Free to air best of catch up services on the NowTV Homepage such has BBC IPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 or Demand 5 won't activate any new NowTV passes that you need to pay for or be charged extra.
You can use these services for free including these dedicated apps in the My Apps section.

A few days ago my BBC iPlayer app stopped loading all programmes, both live and catchup. I now get an error message 02001 "Something went wrong loading this programme". I have tried reinstalling the app and a full factory reset of the box without success. All other catchup apps (e.g. ITV, 4oD and Channel 5) are working fine.
My NOWTV box is connected via ethernet to a Linksys E1200 router (DD-WRT), which connects to the internet using OpenVPN. I have tried connecting the NOWTV box to a different router (without VPN connection) and get the same error message. BBC iPlayer continues to work fine on my desktop PC and other devices in the house.
Any ideas much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
As BBC iPlayer is a third-party app, I'd recommend getting in touch with BBC direct. They have a live chat service available 4pm-midnight.

Hi @Anonymous User
The BBC iPlayer has been revamp and is currently in Beta. I'm sure you can switch back to the old version in your iPlayer settings somewhere? Hope this helps...
