A UKTV Play on-demand app would be more than welcomed to enable us to catch up on TV from all of the UKTV channels (Dave, Yesterday, Really and Drama).

Hi H2F
You know, I've tried casting UKTV Play to my chromecast device, the main reason why I bought the thing, but it did not work, i.e. UKTV Play will not cast. I had also check my results with UKTV help as well, they confirmed it was not compatible with chromecast.
However, my chromecast device had proved itself very useful, especially as a stop gap, when Now TV buttoned down the black boxes facilities.
Anyway, like everybody else, I'm "chomping at the bit" to find out when the UKTV Play app will finally come to Now TV.

PS. The silence, from Now TV and UK TV, is frustratingly deafening.

Hi @ukbobboy 🙂
Just to be clear, do you use a computer to cast? Because don't they mirror any browser?
Or are you using a phone/tablet?

It was mentioned in UKTV's annual report that UKTV Play would be coming to NOW TV 'later in the year' but no exact date yet (let's hope they are still on target).

Hi Casey
Just seen your post and in answer to your question, I was using an android tablet and google casting app to try and cast to my chromecast device.
As mentioned before, UKTV help said that UKTV Play was not compatible with the chromecast device. However, if they are wrong then I will be more than happy to learn of a method that will enable UKTV Play to work with my chromecast device.
Finally, as I'm an "ol' skool" kinda guy, I mainly use my PC desktop (tower) system for my main everyday domestic stuff, and for entertainment I use my peripheral IT equipment, e.g. Roku 3, android tablet, chromecast, etc. and so do not use my PC for any other task.
Catch you later.

Good day
Best approach here would be asking UKTV themselves as its up to them to design the app for other platforms, us being one. We only house 3rd party apps and have no control over content or features within them.

what about netflix? i highly doubt they'd reject to be on the now box, all your hurting is your own customers, the people who buy netflix wouldnt buy a now box anyway, only people who buy both, like me and many others.
it has roku support. please just let it on your store!
