This is the one thing stopping me at the moment from trying the subscription service. I got a nowtv box and that works fine, but I don't really want to introduce another box under the TV when I've already got a shield and several other devices.
Given there's already an android app and an apple tv app I'm suprised at the lack of android tv app.

I have reported it to customer services so they should be aware, they just can't be bothered to fix it. Not everyone posts on the forums.
My money goes on it being a DRM software issue. The implementation for google cast is identical so it must be that now TVs receiver app contains hardware specific software... Like DRM.
Anyway, this issue is what has been stopping me subscribing, so perhaps a few hours of a developers time is worth spending?

I bought a sports pass assuming i could cast the stream to my Shield TV. After all, everything else i've tried casting to it works. In light of this, i'd like a refund on my pass. How do i do this??...

I got a refund after contacting support, but it took a while to get them to understand the issue - they couldnt get their heads around the fact that google cast != chromecast.

Hi @Anonymous User,
Thanks for posting.
The Sheild isn't an officially supported device so sadly we cna't guarantee that this would work. If you are still awaiting a refund - provided you've not used the service to watch on any other devices this should be possible, jet let us know if you're still waiting.
Thanks

Hi,
i bought a now tv box to watch Sky sports, however i also have an nividia shield tv in the house too. I decided to see if i could cast from my Samsung s7 to it, and have to say was really impressed. worked straight away, cast brilliantly...... for about 20 seconds..... then kept buffering, now i suspect that this is to do with the nividia shield connection, as my internet connection is fast, the now tv box streams without buffering.
This happened with every channel i tried, however, i can cast youtube fine from my phone and other apps.
Can someone from NOW TV get back to me and suggest some possible solutions

@Anonymous User Welcome to the forum. Nvidia Sheild isn't officially supported by NOW TV so they won't provide support for it, it's a case of you can either get it to work or you can't, however with a bit of luck some of the other users in this thread may post back with some info that might help you.
