now tv not working on ps4

I have been unable to watch now tv via the ps4 for over a week now.When i click on the now tv logo, the green logo disappears  and i am left with a blank screen nothing loads up.All the other apps on the ps4 such as netflix,psn,etc are working fine. Ihave contacted customer services several times and have followed their advice such as deleting the app and reinstalling it  but it is still not working. Does anyone know how to resolve this . Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous User, 

 

Thanks for getting in touch with us here at NOW TV. 

 

Can you please try the steps below: 

 

1. ADJUST RESOLUTION SETTINGS

1.    Go to Settings
2.    Select Sound and Screen
3.    Select Video Output Settings
4.    Select Resolution
5.    Set to Automatic


2. DELETE NOW TV APP AND DATA


1.    On PS4 go to TV/Video
2.    Select the NOW TV app
3.    Press Options on your DualShock 4 (Controller)
4.    Select Delete

1.    To delete the NOW TV data go to Setting
2.    Please then go back to System Storage Management
3.    Select Application Saved Data
4.    Select Saved Data in System Storage
5.    Highlight NOW TV
6.    Press OPTIONS on DualShock 4 (Controller)
7.    Select Delete

1.    To reinstall the NOW TV App go to TV/Video
2.    On the NOW TV App press X
3.    The App should re install


3. ENTER PS4 ON SAFE MODE

1.    Ensure the PS4 is powered off
2.    Press and hold the Power Button on the PS4. Release it after you've heard two beeps: one when you initially press, and another 7 seconds later.
3.    Connect the DualShock 4 controller with the provided USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.

You’ll then see the below options
 
1.       Restart System
2.       Change Resolution
3.       Update System Software
4.       Restore Default Settings
5.       Rebuild Database 
6.       Initialize PS4 
7.       Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)


Please perform Option 5

 

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous User

 

Thanks for trying the steps and sorry to hear that the issue is still ongoing.

 

Can you try the resolution steps again listed in the previous post by @Karl-F and instead of Automatic, please choose Manual and tick 720p?

 

Can you also tell me which connection type are you using - wireless or wired?

Hi @Anonymous User,

 

Sorry to hear this.

 

Can you please ensure you have no VPN's running and that your PS4 location is set to UK.

 

Can you also try Step 2 once more.

 

Please let us know how you get on.

 

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous User,

 

Thanks for posting.

 

Can you tell us if you use any VPNs or any settings or apps on the PS4 to access content outside the UK?

 

Thanks

Hi Simon.
No VPNs or setting/apps from outside the uk..
The only thing I can think of is I downloaded Twitch, but have deleted that now..

Thanks for replying, any more ideas?
