NOW TV NOW TV Box - Plex install guide

Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

Right! I went out and bought a new one now - everything is fine - done everything as I should have done and the same f**king thing has happened? Could it be that their server IS down? Is it my router? I am pig sick of it! So, from what you guys say - because I have done it on a new box now I SHOULD, in theory be able to do this? PM me, phone me, I will phone you - whatever! It's doing my melon in! Do I need to download the plex media server on my laptop even though I am not using plex on that? Just my TV

Do I need to download the plex on my laptop YES

He's connecting (or not:) ) to a remote server so there is no need to install PMS on his PC, he just needs a plex account and an invite or a pin from the server.
I still reckon the server is down or has been banned by plex for too many shares.

Right! Progress! I have got the bloody thing working on my TV now! - BUT I am not sure how to put all the channels that were on it before. I had a thing called PIK Tv or something like that - Then I had EVERY UK tv channel on - where do I get them back please - THANK YOU all for helping me so far x

can anyone who has done this comment on the quality of the playback. I installed kodi on a chromecast but it feels like it is dropping frames and running slower than the pc resulting in jerky images.

Hi

does anyone know how to upgrade plex on the now tv box?

i have a now tv v2 box with plex classic 3.1.6 installed...I would like to upgrade to 3.1.9, can this be done without logging out of the server? Or would I have to remove old version, install new version and then get logged back into server?

Thanks for for any help, much appreciated
 
Re: NOW TV Box £10 inc - Plex install guide

Your provided should send you the upgrade file, the current version will be overwritten by the upgrade rather than needing you to remove it.
If your provider hasn't already logged you out, when you have upgraded then they will let you in/log you back into the server.
 
doesnt the NowTV update stop you installing Plex now?
