I put my now tv box on the other night and it player was there on the channel list that you can choose from.

mersey70 · 07-06-2014, 15:44

I actually bought a Now TV box today and there's no ITV Player on mine.

I presume I have the latest software as it updated as part of the registration (4.9 Build 8509)

I would suggest he's possibly on trial software , looks like it should arrive sometime soon.

Yes, I was thinking that and it looks that way but the way the post is worded does not indicate that but infers that it's available to all users

Andrew_Reid · 07-06-2014, 17:36

You can't post an image directly.
The easiest way is through an image hosting site (of which there are many)
I use http://postimage.org/

Andrew_Reid · 07-06-2014, 18:28

http://postimg.org/image/l09ywz1jp/d93bbffa/ ok here it is.

ClareB · 07-06-2014, 18:32

I can't get it yet on my box - I presume it will show up when you press the home button - but hopefully it won't be long before everyone can.

Andrew_Reid · 07-06-2014, 18:32

I did install plex on my nowtv box a while ago,and i did try and install itv player through it,but it was a bit over my head.So i did not think i had it,but maybe it had installed after all.

I think it's Plex as that interface looks nothing like my Now box

The interface is from Roku but the pic clearly shows NOW TV and ITV Player at the top of the pic so don't think is running through Plex.

artesea · 07-06-2014, 20:16

Looks like a beta firmware. Can the OP get a photo of Settings > About Device

Andrew_Reid · 07-06-2014, 20:56

justjax · 09-06-2014, 21:03

Ooh, looks like its nearly ready, clearly being tested. Now if only they could add Amazon Instant Video my life would be complete

From NOW TV site: Could this be the ITV Player update being rolled out?

Planned maintenance of NOW TV Box platform Tuesday 10th June [ Edited ]

‎09-06-2014 15:22 - edited ‎09-06-2014 16:52

There's planned maintenance of the NOW TV Box platform happening on Tuesday 10th June. This maintenance will start at 5pm and is expected to last for up to two hours.

During this time, customers may experience the following:

It's not possible to activate a new NOW TV Box
It's not possible to add channels on any NOW TV Box

NOW TV itself is working normally during this time, so if you're waiting to activate a box, you can watch on another device in the meantime.

Thanks for your patience whilst this is completed. If you'd like to be alerted when it's finished, click Topic Options and Subscribe above this post

Those outages are normally related to Roku having work done instead of NowTV, but maybe...

g jones · 10-06-2014, 22:07

Just updated my now tv box and the ITV player has appeared .The home page has also got a different appearance.

Thanks, updated mine too. I think the new look might take a bit of getting used to!

As I mostly use the homepage to launch the NowTV app, not much different.
Also found BBC Sport available, but still old iPlayer.

mersey70 · 11-06-2014, 05:49

No ITV Player on my box just yet, I tried to force a software update but it said I already have the latest version (4.9 build 8509).
