NowTV app

[Andyhx]

Today the NowTV app decided to tell me that the TV needs a firmware update. Software is up to date and have tried tech support... They're going to ring back... No help from Nowtv. Any suggestions? Thanks

Please unplug your monitor from the wall socket > Wait 30 seconds, then plug your monitor back in > Disconnect the Wi-Fi and reconnect it.

Thanks for your reply. I just tried this now. For a moment I saw "Downloading content" on the restart but there's been no change in the main issue.

I have the same issue, nowtv app worked fine until I tried today and am getting the message about updating firmware.

I'm encountering the same issue. I was able to use the Now TV app until recently, but last week when I tried to use it again it started showing the message "Please update your firmware" upon launch.

Device: 27" M50A Full HD Smart Monitor - S27AM500NU

Current software version: 1101 (ver 1101.0 / Aug 31. 2021 / downloaded from Samsung website and installed via USB).

Troubleshooting:

• Updated TV software to latest version;
• Tried reinstalling the Now TV app;
• Tried turning the power off at the outlet for 2 minutes and then turned the TV back on again.

I am having the same problem with the Now ap - has anyone found a solution yet?

[Blanquiazules]

Afraid not, Samsung don’t seem interested in helping their customers unfortunately.

Ironically, I also have an older model Samsung which has stopped being compatible with BT Sport - audio and visual don’t sync - and they haven’t managed to sort that one either.

Am really disappointed, I like Samsung and have several products but will be switching to a more compatible / reliable brand next time round.

I was told my TV isn't compatible with the NowTV app despite watching previously. Disappointing.

This is currently being investigated and we'll advise you on here, when a solution has been found. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hello - any solution to this issue yet?

Hi, is there any update? We bought monitor tv only in July as it stated its ability to run NOW amongst other apps. Thanks
