Viewing Now channels

I can’t view Now channels on my box. Spent hours with on line help, but still not resolved.

Re: Viewing Now channels

Third time lucky….

@Tobytrotters 

Are you a BT TV subscriber? If not, these EPG channels are not available to you.

If you are though, then are you subscribed to one or more Now memberships through BT TV? Only EPG channels that belong to memberships that you are subscribed to through BT TV are available to you.

But if you are subscribed to one or more Now memberships via BT TV:-

Open the Now app on your YouView box, Pro or not, and look at Settings/My Account.

Does that show your BT TV account details?

If yes, skip to NEXT.

Else If blank, sign in with your BT TV account details. Go to NEXT.
Else if details are present but don’t match what you think your account should be,
make a note of                   them, sign out, and then sign in with your BT TV account details. Go to NEXT.

If you can’t sign in with what you think your account details should be, then either you or BT have them wrong; exit this procedure and resolve this accordingly.

NEXT:

Then proceed with:-

Can you now access on-demand programmes covered by your memberships on the Now app?

(You should be able to).

Can you now view channels covered by your Now memberships obtained through BT TV in the YouView EPG?

(You may or may not be able to at this point, but if you had to set up or change your account details for the Now app there it likely something wrong at the BT end, which they will need to fix, now we have fully qualified the problem).

Re: Viewing Now channels

Thank you very much, all correct and can watch from app but still can’t from tv menu. After 4 hours with online help been told to turn hub and box off for two minutes and when turned back on all will work. Spent so long trying to sort this, unacceptable that BT can treat customers with such contempt.

@Tobytrotters 

Did you try what they suggested?

When these support people get an idea fixed in their head, it’s best to humour them.

Otherwise you never get to move on to the next step 😢

But it very much sounds like your account is misconfigured at BT’s end; and it’s going to be one of the Devs here who is your best shot at getting this fixed. We’ll see what they say when they are back tomorrow.

Yes, did everything they asked me to. Your advice to check in app was great, all looks ok there. Thanks
