Android 4.1 will soon be unsupported
From 7 August, the NOW TV app will no longer support Android 4.1. If your Android device is running on 4.1, you'll still be able to watch for as long as the app works for you, but you won't receive any updates like new features and bug fixes. You also won't be able to reinstall the app from the Google Play Store if you uninstall it.
If your device supports later Android OS versions, we recommend you update to 5.0 (Lollipop) or later.
