Hi,
With my Sky + box I use the ariel output through a tuner to watch on windows media centre on my desktop (windows 7) as I surf the web.
Does anyone know if I can achieve the same with the output from my Now TV box? I have tried using the jack output to RCA then through some adapter to go to my tuner, but it doesn't pick anything up. Is there anything I can do from the HMDI cable?
I would be happy with a resizable window that would always be on top, has anyone had any sucess with something similar?
Cheers

Silverlight5.1 has removed popout windows as all good web browsers plan to ban popout windows for ever in updates....
The new Fill tab view mode button has not been added to NowTV player and likey won't be as silverlight is a legacy system for MAC only come July, Windows 10 and HTML5 takes over PC support but thats restricted to FULL screen only...
If you use silverlight still on the PC web browser you can use BROWSER zoom controlls to scale the player size... once you get to about 50% zoom the silverlight GUI will break functions...
Your card is likely just out of date.
NowTV boxes Can be recorded easy but it may just be time for an upgrade to HDMI capture card and a HDCP removal device... instead of wasting time with multi cables and convertors..
Any one else remember that old interface... those days long gone...
The New card will decide whats possible with what interface so do some research
You are likely to have boarders still with controlls youll have to push them to one side and scale the window.

Extra = Be aware NowTV is an Independant service from the BskyB Dish Broadcaster service...
NowTV does not give you access to BskyB Dish services subscription it has a very limited entertainment package and thats why the price is so low...
Just incase you did not know... SKYgo is the free IPTV service included in the Sky Dish subscription... just checking you know the difference... to many do not... before you start getting charged by NowTV, if you still have the BskyB subscription you want SkyGO... unless you only want the free content from the Box and canceled all the subs...

I had the same problem. However after a bit of fiddling I found if you move your cursor to the top of ther screen you can click the second icon in which will make the display in a little window instead of full screen, jusat like windows.
Clicking it again returns to full screen, and you can slect the exact size (but not aspect ratio) of the display you want.

Hi @Anonymous User,
Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you have encountered when trying to access NOW TV.
Can you please let me know if you encounter any error messages?
Are you able to let us know what operating system you are running?
You can try searching for silverlight in the start menu, once opened click on the playback tab and ensure the second box is unticked. Press OK and try to use NOW TV.
Please let us know how you get on.
Thanks,
Karl
