Hi mate, did you fix this? 
my dad uses now tv, we have had it for a few years no problems

this year the black box started lagging when watching footy then says ‘sorry there was an error with the player’ and crashes. We bought a now tv stick to try and changed internet providers and the same thing happened.

Sounds like the same issue

pls let me know if u fixed it

Have you tried to delete and reinstall the app on your Smart TVs?

 

Another suggest for the Now TV box and your Smart TV is that you can set it back to factory settings. This often squashes bugs on the system.

 

Also it’s worth disconnecting the router for a few minutes and turning it back on

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help
