Samsung NowTV app not visible

Hi

I have a Samsung smart TV that the NowTV sites says supports NowTV. In the Samsung apps there is no trace of NowTV. How do I get it there so I can select it?

(My NowTV account is ok as it works on iPad and phone, also I signed up to a Samsung account)

thanks for advice

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

That is an older model E series Samsung Smart TV which is identified by the letter E and does not support the NowTV App.

 

I believe Samsung Smart TV's that support the NowTV App starts from the J series.

 

My Dad owns a H series Samsung Smart TV and his television is also not supported when it comes to the NowTV App inbuilt into the TV.

 

Where my Dad uses a NowTV box with his Samsung TV.

 

Have a read of this linked help article below on ways to watch NowTV (click the green drop down arrow on the article to expand the on screen information).

If you don't own a suitable device from the list, maybe consider a NowTV smart stick ?

For some thought it was the K towards the end of the string.
I have tried my laptop with an HDMI connection which works fine so I'm ok
for the cricket tomorrow! I'll look at other options also, many thanks.

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

The NOW TV app is currently available on 2015 and later Samsung TVs, except for Samsung Serif models, which don't support NOW TV.

How do I know if I have a compatible TV?

Just look at the model number – if there’s a J, K, L, M, N, Q or R in the middle, then you should have a compatible TV.

See this guide for more details on Samsung TV model numbers

Yeah, the 'letter in the middle' didn't make it very clear but I see it now

There’s no app for my brand new 2019 UE70RU7020 which has an R in the middle - is this supported? Edit never mind I found by searching the App Store!

I have the same model and likewise it says its unsupported, it's a 2019 model so I cant see why not?
