Now tv app not working on Apple TV 2nd Gen

Hopefully someone can help here.

 

Now tv app on Apple TV 2nd generation - not signing in!  

Comes up as:- Login failed, unable to login at this time.

 

Yes it’s definitely the right login details and NOT my Apple login I’m using.  

I can log in on other devices and tv, just not working on Apple TV.  I definitely have a slot available for another device, and I haven’t made more changes than I’m aloud within the calander month (6 devices allowed, 3 changes allowed).

 

I was waiting on tech team getting back to me, but with the lockdown, seems unlikely and I can’t call them back as they are only dealing with urgent calls right now.

 

anybody?? Please??

So, after scouring the Nowtv website, I can see that only Appletv 3rd generation onward is supported - why tech team didn’t know this and tell me when I first phoned beats me.  So Nowtv app on Appletv 2nd generation is now no use.

 

In addition, for anyone else’s information, I purchased an apple hdmi adapter for my iphone/ipad to connect via tv and use the nowtv app through those devices - no joy. Again, after some digging, discovered that Nowtv removed this capability a while ago.  So only option now is to buy a brand new compatible device if I want to view on this particular tv.  Such a p**s take.

Sky can only add channels that they own or have come to an argement with such as MTV and Comedy Central which are both owened by ViacomCBS UK.

 

As for Eurosport, I highly doubt this will get added considering Discovery (who owns Eurosport) are really pushing Discovery+ globally. In my point of view it will only be a matter of time for Eurosport to get bundled into Discovery+. 

These articles would seem to be "confirming" to an extent.

It’s not really up to NOW to strike deals in order to show non Sky channels on the product. Most likely channels like Discovery and MTV etc approached Sky/NOW to get their channels added to the service as it’ll benefit them more than NOW.

 

If you really want a direct answer from NOW opposed to speculation from another customer like me then send an email to customer support. You may or may not get the answered your looking for.

In my personal opinion Eurosport channels won’t be part of the sports membership anytime soon if ever. 

This will be down the similar deal with BT sport.  Regardless of it being good for NOW sports customers I just can’t see it happening. Especially with Discovery rethinking their sports broadcasting and they will probably just add the channels on Discovery+. 

At best NOW and Discovery can come to a deal to allow the Discovery+ app on NOW devices.

 

Its like Alibi and W channels, I’d love to see them on the entertainment membership, but I also can’t see it happening. This was also confirmed by NOW customer support and UKTV play.
