That model does not appear to be supported directly by NOW, so you will need a separate smart device as you have with your other TV.

thank you so much for replying. no where seems to stock the smart sticks and the sky assessories are out of stick, unfortunatly!

NOW no longer make their own devices. There are several third-party devices that you can use though, Amazon Fire Stick and Roku are both popular and well-regarded brands.

"loving room" eh!!!!

Loving room can be any room you want it to be.
As for a stick/replacement my personal preference would be a Roku stick+
I have a Fire stick, a Roku streaming stick+ and ( recently) a Roku streambar
the Roku UI beats the overly complex fire UI thats geared to selling amazon content
plus if your used to the Now software the Roku will be familiar

I endorse the choice of Streaming Stick+, the most capable Roku Stick if the most expensive, and I use one where I can’t get line of sight to it from a remote, which the remote being RF (radio frequency) rather than IR (infrared, which needs line of sight) lets me do.
However, it does mean I need two remotes to use it with the TV it is connected to, as the IR-only TV remote won’t work it.
The cheaper Express Roku devices are IR, so I can work these with my TV remote, all except for the * button (which I don’t need very often). These devices aren’t sticks, but I have one stuck neatly under one corner of the TV, with the double-sided tape Roku supply, to give it line of sight.
It depends on whether using a single remote is important to you, or if you don’t mind using two to get the advantages of the + Stick.

The Stick plus has a TV control on its remote - volume up/down mute and power
