Have installed normally, installed as administrator, run as administrator, run in compatibility mode, restarted etc - the Now TV Windows App does not open for me, and I have just paid for a subscription.
Error as below - note, I have removed my real name and replaced with bolded capitilised username. Original text was a normal string of unbroken lowercase characters.

[OK]
I hope someone can assist, I'm missing the F1 currently and am out of pocket...
Have seen on some other threads that @Andy or @Jason-C might be able to assist?

@Anonymous User Welcome to the community. Sorry but I don't use Windows and I'm out of touch with NOW TV. Your best bet of help on here is from @schnapps or @commanda6 - if they have any suggestions I'm sure they will respond in due course.
Your other option is to try live chat - have a read of the following support page and if it doesn't help, click the blue Get in Touch button at the side and then you'll find a live chat option by expanding the Anything Else section.

Hi @Anonymous User
I won't be much help sorry, where i only use my Windows Tablet for surfing the internet and using the forum.
Haven't got any spare device slots on my account to use or test my Windows tablet when watching NowTV, where all my Device allocation are taken up with NowTV & Roku players.
Can only suggest the basic stuff, like if you are using the dedicated NowTV App from the Microsoft Store where the error is occurring, then try using your internet browser with the NowTV player instead or vice versa to see if it makes any difference.
Try disabling and enabling Javascript on your Laptop or see if there any Javascript settings need adjusting.

Maybe try Googling " Javascript error effecting video playback on Windows" or see if NowTV live chat can offer you some assistance.
Hope you get it sorted.

Hi @Anonymous User
from the error information that you've posted it would appear that this is an issue related to disk , access permissions. specifically, relating to the disk access required in order to start the NowTV player when you pick a piece of content to watch from the NowTV website.
What version of Windows are you using and what web browser? JavaScript needs to be fully allowed in your browser in order for the NowTV player/app on PC to work correctly

I am getting the same error.

I am getting the same error on Windows 10.
Tried re-downloading and re-installinng the nowTV app from now tv website. Dint help.

Its only because you have another NowTv proccess open in the background.
Ctrl+alt+Del and terminate all the NowTv process.

Did anyone manage to sort this? The Now TV app was working fine for me until I had to update it and now I keep getting this same issue of a java script error (the exact same as FAWBISH's error) - I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, closing Now TV in the background, deleting cache etc. and nothing works. It's annoying paying £9 for a service I can't use!
Thanks,

I have the same issue too.
Why do we need the download? After the Silverlight nonsense from years ago, you'd have thought Sky would go for a standard media player.
Please let me know when this is fixed.

yeah I'm also having this issue. It's definitely not the laptop itself as I have tried it on two different laptops and I'm getting the same issue
