Now TV App

Hi,

does anyone know if Sony/ Google intend to place a Sky Now TV app on Bravia Android TVs?

Thanks

I agree. I have a Bravia KDL42W706, but don`t seem to be able to find any way to load the app. I`m not even sure if a Now TV box will work!

Anyone else tried?

Of course a NowTV box will work, as I have said above.

It's just an HDMI-connected device, so why wouldn't it?

Me too

I have managed to backload it onto a Firestick but it's the wrong size and unuseable

Get a Roku Stick, about £30, whack it in an HDMI input on the TV - done deal, gives you scads of apps these TVs don’t provide, including itv Hub and All4 for YouView refuseniks.

 

You could get a NowTV Stick cheaper, but the Roku has the edge on it.

I have a roku stick connected for that reason but there are a few considerations if going that way

- do you go for a 4k roku stick eg to stay in the roku ecosystem and use it for netflix, prime and apple TV etc.as well as now tv and terrestial catch up apps.  The stick plus is the best but is more like £50 but was once briefly £30

- roku sticks are WiFi only

- not all of the apps on roku work in 4k / 5.1 surround  but most do. Ones that don't that I'm aware of are rakuten and Google play movies
