Now TV stick gets hot

Hi all,

 

I am moving over to the Now TV sticks from the my boxes.  Is it just mine or has anyone noticed that the sticks get quite hot (and mine are not in direct sunlight either)?

Mine does too. i noted the temperature (listed under the secret menu) and read 92 °C.  (presumerably there is a cut off point should it go beyond a certain temperature).    You won't reget making the change thanks to the updated processor etc.

I'd expected heat (and wifi signal) issues with this device so have not purchased one and now won't be doing. Thanks to all for the updates.

Due to it's small surface area, it's designed to dissipate heat across all of it's surface area, it's the only way it can be done effectively in such a small device. Most smartphones are the same nowadays aswell.

@Matthew1234567 the casing would not be 92c you would be scalded when you touched it.

@Anonymous User The stick will display a warning on screen if it's overheating, so unless you see this message there should be nothing to worry about. More info here

This was happening to me quite often because there was no air getting to the back of tv so i moved the tv further  away from the wall and this solved the problem

No matter the heat, moving over to the stick has been excellent.
