Not really gibberish, just someone who doesn't fully know the correct terms for the various devices. Now doesn't help, as they originally branded the broadband Now TV broadband.

They have since changed the name but their users don't seem to have noticed.

@slswan 

Do not keep telling us what is happening with the TV, nothing will work there (as you have no aerial) until the broadband is fully up, so just concentrate on getting all the lights on the router green.

I expect you have water in the conduits, which will affect the copper cabling.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

You need to describe the issues you are having, and with what device clearly.

 Is this a Now TV box, or a Now broadband router, or both?

The router or hub shows just 2 outer green lights on it, the now tv box shows the light now and then, even when on it is not working

What colour is the Now box (not the router, I mean the box connected to your TV via an HDMI cable)?

  •  shows when light is on, but every now and then goes off and on, including the one in the hall when the green  middle light goes orange or off.

Ah, a Now Smart box, one with Freeview.

What are the four wires connected at the back - power, HDMI, Ethernet, TV aerial?

It does look like an aerial cable, but @slswan says they don't have one?

 I do not have a tv aerial at all, so I soley rely on NOW TV, fed up with it

A word of warning, NOW don’t have any engineers as they rely fully on OpenReach. So it’s down to when they are able to send someone out.

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