Will the Now TV app for Apple TV ever get an update?
The current version is complete rubbish and makes me regret ever getting a Now TV pass.
Unless there is an update my Now TV experience will be very short indeed.

Hi @Anonymous User
Just checked my tv upstairs,and nowtv is still working on my roku 4k stick,but I prefer the firestick as my go to device,as it will give you the bitrate for streaming,and it is easy to keep tabs if you have the boost pass,the roku for nowtv is a bit long in the tooth compared to Apple tv and Amazon going forward!!

Hi @Anonymous User
No only the blue now tv box with freeview built in allowed you to pause for up to 1/2 hour,if my memory serves me well,and that boxIMHO was the best nowtv device on the market at the time,but it disappeared like snow off a dyke,to be replaced by the pink smart 4k box which has also gone the same way,and now amazon firestick is the go to platform for Nowtv for the foreseeable future!!!!

You can pause and rewind the live TV channels for up to 30 minutes with any of the NOW TV devices below:
On all other devices, you can only pause or rewind on demand movies and shows.
Keep in mindYou can’t record whole shows or series on the live TV channels on any device, except via the programme guide on the BT TV Box if you pay for your Passes through BT.

Hi @schnapps
Thanks for that,forgot the Now tv stick paused live tv,as I bought one when they first came on the market,totally underwhelmed by it as it had the tendency to get quite hot,as mentioned on previous threads,and replaced it with a Roku 4k stick night and day better IMO, then amazon have virtually taken over Nowtv!!!!

Hi @Anonymous User
I thought after the 8 mth beta trial now tv on the apple platform would have all the bells and whistles when it was released to the general public,but the amazon firestick beat them to it,and had everything on it,which was promised by the now tv developers during the trial but sadly failed to materialise as I think the Apple tv box is the best streaming device on the market IMHO,albeit pricey compared to the firestick 4k,which is being sold at £34:99 on the Amazon shopping website,an absolute bargain compared to the Apple tv box!!!

Hi @Anonymous User
Unfortunately the now tv app on apple seems to have been superceded by the nowtv app appearing out of the blue on the firestick,and the nowtv stick no longer in stock on the website,which means the go to device seems to be the amazon firestick,which I bet will the main platform for Nowtv going forward,and the app on apple tv will be a poor second in comparison!!!!

To be honest i agree in a way it's the best streaming device on the market and in a way I don't agree with that. It can't support 4K 60 HDR for Sports on BT Sports where as the Firestick can and we can all agree it's far better NowTV Experience so that's a negative to me at least. It has the capabilities to be the best streaming device in the UK if it was properly developed by developers but it doesn't seem like it currently is. So at the moment for me the best Streaming Device is the Fire Stick 4K sad as that is.
