Welcome to the forum.
NOW TV doesn't support surround sound on any device I'm afraid, so you're not doing anything wrong. The best you can do is select a pseudo-surround processing mode such as Dolby ProLogic II/IIx when watching (if your amp has the ability). It's listenable but obviously not ideal.

Hi and welcome to the forum,
Sadly, Dolby Digital bit-stream (ie: discrete) 'surround sound' audio is currently not available via the NOW TV service. This being the case, many of us use our surround sound amplifiers processing options (ie: Pro Logic or Pro Logic 2). Which actually does a very good on most occasions.
Cheers

I sent Now TV a message on twitter to complain about the lack of surround sound. No news yet, but I agree in the age of Netflix and Amazon Prime it feels a big let down.

Guys
You know, I find it strange that you are surprised that Now TV does not have surround sound yet and then behave as if it's a problem that should be fixed, especially since Now TV has never made any secret of the fact that sound sound is not on offer.
After all, it only takes is a minuscule of pre-purchase research on your part to find out if everything you expect is on offer.
I'm reasonably sure that at sometime in the future surround sound, along with a host of other facilities, will be on offer, more than likely with this up and coming new machine pictured below.
But quite honestly, if you can't be bothered to do any "due diligence" then you should not try to blame anyone else for your lack of foresight.

You know Zippy, I actually agree with most of your post and you are right, I have no knowledge of the research you have already done. But, you must admit, you assumed rather than checked whether surround sound was available or not on the Now TV box and, all I am saying, you can't blame Now TV for that.
However, I believe that sound sound, for Now TV, is on the horizon, watch this space.

It's 2018, and surround is the industry standard. You even get it on the satellite HD channels.
My 15+ year old DVDs have excellent DD surround.
