Hi I've had this problem on my laptop for 10 months. I load up now tv it opens and the loading/buffering circle appears before closing immediately.
Support been useless on this and other solutions on here not worked. What can I do?

Would be good to get a response/fix for this, I too have been having this issue for 6 weeks+ tried every 'fix' in the book but to no avail.
Contact the 'help' support - they don't know what to do so they 'escalate' the case and say I'll get a response within 2-3 days... but guess what I get nothing.
The closest suggestion from the help team is they can see the player is getting 3-4 Mbps download which is why it 'buffers' and closes. However this smells like BS when I pull in 150-175 Mbps download speed and have 0 ping / packet loss issues on anything else / any online games.

I've found a solution, make a new user on windows, login to now and download now tv on new user and it worked. I'm guessing some process on my usual desktop has been blocking Now Tv
