Get online and start streaming
Almost there. You’ll need to connect to an internet network before you can start streaming.
Step 3: Switch to NOW
Using your TV remote, go to your main menu and switch to the HDMI input or source option.
Step 4: Connect to your network
- Make sure you have your Wi-Fi username and password ready (if one is needed).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Or, if it's positioned close enough, you could hook your NOW Box up to a router or modem instead using an Ethernet cable for a wired connection. (This could help avoid any problems with buffering if you have a slow Wi-Fi connection.)
Step 5: Sign in or sign up
Scroll down to read the terms and conditions, then hit Accept.
Now grab your smartphone or computer and follow the instructions on your TV screen to sign in to your NOW account, or create an account if you're new to NOW.
Help tipWhen you see a code and you're asked to go to NOWTV.com/tv to enter it, make sure you type this address directly into your browser (rather than a search engine), and ensure the URL doesn't auto-correct and send you to NOWTV.com instead.
Wait a few moments while your apps update, then open the NOW app and away you go!
