Crashing

NOW TV keeps crashing on my PS4 as well this is how...

Start up from scratch works like a charm but when I go to play a game and then go back to NOW TV it crashes after a while, I only watch Demand and not live.

So it's in memory when I'm playing my game and starts up real quick and continues playing and then after a while freezes, if I close it by opening Netflix up and then opening NOW TV from scratch it works fine..

In another way to put it it doesn't like being run in the background while doing something else..

I think I've covered it reasonably well lol.

Closing a dry down and opening it up as new seems to work
