Finding a News Channel

We have the NOW TV app on our tv.  We've signed in but can't find any news channels other than sky.  How do you search for a news channel, there isn't a tab for News ?

Apart from Sky Sports News, I don’t think there are any others in the app.

 

But there should be quite a range of them available in Freeview on the TV set you are using.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Thanks Rob

 

On the ROKU thing we have got the other news channels just not on the TV, is this why?

If the TV is a new model, it may take time for other apps to appear on it.

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

There are three levels, sort of - Roku Stick or Box, NowTV Stick or Box, NowTV app.

 

The Roku devices give you the NowTV app, and all sorts of other apps, some of which are News apps, or apps on which you can get news (e.g. BBC News on the BBC iPlayer).

 

The NowTV devices give you the NowTV app, and a smaller range of other apps, again some of which are News apps, or apps on which you can get news (e.g. BBC News on the BBC iPlayer).

 

The NowTV app, on your TV and on other devices, just gives you NowTV, and leaves Samsung, or whoever, to add other apps, like the BBC iPlayer - and possibly one or more News apps, or apps on which you can get news - to its array of Smart apps.

 

So on the NowTV app itself, whether on a Roku device, a NowTV device, or standalone, carries only the News channels that come from Sky - Sky News and Sky Sports News.

 

 

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
