Hi,

Just noticed on my NOW TV box that 'YouTube' is officially on the app list..& they have posted on Facebook etc it's now on the NOW TV box Haven't had chance to try it yet.

Please let me know if it has all the same glitches as on my Humax HD recorder.

Many files won't play as they're in the "incorrect format".

There is no "back button" facility, so that if the suggestions list on th eright of the screen gets populated by things you don't want. You can't go back a page, but have to go back to the search menu and start again from the beginning.

The initial screen is populated by "popular" searches, which are always rubbish. Who cares what the popular searches are?

Channel Store is down.

Useless!

Tried it out tonight...as someone mentioned on NOW TV's Facebook page that it is slow to load...but I think that will improve in time. You can link your mobile/tablet/PC so you can play from them to the NOW TV box....they seem to load quicker from them. As mentioned in the quote above...it does seem to be the same as the Humax HD recorder....comes up 'Incorrect Format' on some videos etc......but most I've tried tonight have worked.

Good addition to the NOW TV box.

Forgot to mention...there is a back button...that goes back to your previous screen or search...& you login to your YouTube account (same as PC/mobile/tablet)....that brings up your history & saved 'ready to play' so you can play (quicker than searching) on your NOW TV box.

I can't see a Back button on the screen, although there is one on the remote, which takes me back to the Search screen. It's also quite annoying that you can't delete individual search words - it's all or nothing.

I'm also wondering how the iPlayer works on different platforms, as I'd greatly prefer the new version with nature and history programmes (from what I remember) given their own category, rather than being all lumped together under Factual. I would have thought that if the BBC changes the interface it would automatically take on the new format no matter where you were viewing it from.

The 'Pair' your phone function of the NowTV box YouTube app pretty much gives you the same functionality as a ChromeCast !

not sure I need my ChromeCast any more now ?

This is doing my head in now.

Very welcome addition , I've linked it with my phone and tablet and it works perfectly.

Am I the only person who can't get it?
