I have the same issue since today (25/08/20).

I had to reset my SmartHub to troubleshoot another issue with Netflix.

Due to the reset, I had to re-download the NOW TV app, when I came to sign back in to NOW TV, it is just stuck on the same message:

Unable to load sign in, please try again later.

Prior to resetting my TV, NOW TV was working earlier today. Since the app has been re-downloaded, I have had this issue.

Could it be a bug with this version of the app?

I’ve tried the same troubleshooting steps:

*Deleted app + re-installed multiple times

*Powered TV off + on

*Removed power cable from TV for a few minutes, then plugged back in

*Tried 2 different Wi-Fi networks

Can anyone please advise any resolution steps?

Thanks

Deleting and reloading the app fixed a prior "loading" issue, but now I'm having the same issue as you i.e "unable to load sign in, please try later." 

Other apps on TV working fine (prime and Netflix). 

Have you/anyone found a solution?

Hi everyone,

Please follow this steps carefully and let us know if you need help.

Reset your router.

Please note the important tips to get a better connection to your TV.
♦Makes sure that there is no downloading in progress on other devices with the same internet when watching NOW TV.
♦If the router and your Smart TV is far please try bringing the router near to your TV as possible.

Press Menu on your Samsung remote and scroll to Network.
Select Wireless as the Network Type.
Select Network Setup.
Choose Select a Network.
Select your Network Name.
Enter your WiFi password and press the Blue button on your Samsung remote.
Your Samsung TV will attempt to connect to your In-home WiFi.
When you're connected, select OK.

Restart the NOW TV app

Hold the back button on your remote until it returns to the Home screen
Relaunch the NOW TV app, this will restart it in the background.

If the issue still persist.
Please try switching the network for example if you're using home wifi please off the wifi and use mobile data to connect your TV.

This is just to check if the issue is with connection or the NOW TV App.

I too have the same problem.  I've reinstalled the app and changed from wifi to LAN and back again but it still doesn't work.  Is it a Samsung problem or a NowTV problem?

It's very frustrating that no one at NowTV knows how to fix this.

Still no luck my end 😞

It would be good to know where the issue lies. 

NowTV should extend time on our monthly passes if it’s not working as expected. 

I can’t see how to contact NowTV. Is this the only way to get help?

Guys

I noticed on my TV that Samsung had updated it's Smart TV Operating System, and if this is the reason the Now TV app will no longer work then we will have to wait until the app itself is updated.  Simply because it is highly unlikely that Samsung will modify it's OS just to accommodate the Now TV app.

In the meantime, someone should contact Samsung Tech Support to see if they can offer any advice.

Hi,

i still have this issue, I managed to contact Now TV by laptop - this lets you live chat with an actual person and then they will open up an email thread with you directly. 

this is the official response I got from now tv:

I was just on Live Chat with Samsung, I was registering my TV, and I asked, who was responsible for the apps on a Smart TV especially after an OS update?

The reply I got was, unfortunately, obvious, "...each app has its own application developer or provider."

So there you have it, if an OS update breaks an app, e.g. Now TVs, then it will be down to the provider to fix it.
