How did you get the NOW TV app? Does it come with the new Chromecast?

arghness

Does anyone know if this is compatible with any other Android TV devices? (e.g. MiBox, which otherwise has no iPlayer app)

Yes hopefully someone uploads the APK soon!

Thank you very much for confirming.

I didn't see All4 though, did you?

Just having a watch through your video - thanks for showing.

There's no live, guessing we won't get that in the UK as we don't get YouTube TV?

I noticed on the recommendations section you'd deselected Disney+ but you still get the massive Hamilton banner at the top?

Speaking of then banners, I've had the same banners for the last two weeks - does it EVER change?

I live in the UK, but I have a US Google account (which I want to keep for other reasons). If I set up my new Chromecast with Google TV using my US Google account, how do I get the iPlayer?

Apologize for my noob but the new google tv is not yet introduced/installed on Nvidia shield right? Or it is applicable for beta test only like AppleTV Os?

Thanks man. Now it has everything I need :)

Mine arrives Friday looking forward to it.

Hi unrelated but can you try this app its for the live channels app can see if it shows up on the app tab and opens up and launch the tv channels thanks Freenews IPTV

By any chance is Sky Go supported on this? Mine is arriving this week so having Sky on it would replace the PS4 for 99% of streaming.

This is excellent news.

The missing pieces for me were iPlayer, All4, UKTV Play and NOW TV. To learn that at least two of these will likely form part of the lineup is pleasing and is making me seriously consider purchasing one.

Did you sideload stadia?

Deeco7

Finally!

anonymous7egend

I really hope NowTv is finally added so I can make the long awaited switch from Apple Tv

Would really appreciate a review from a UK perspective. I picked up another fire stick during prime day as I was put off by the higher UK price for this, but I'm still open to getting one if I can get some clarity around what the UK app experience is like.

Not hijacking the thread but did Firestick not get Freeview APK that has iPlayer, UKTV etc all in 1 package?

swd72000

Can you easily switch between Google accounts?

MiLeX84

Installed it on my Google TV via sideload, the app search would not find any BBC apps. Using it via VPN, works perfectly fine for me.

Suckmyassdaddyyankee

Can someone please post the apk for fuck sake.

drad1980

I know it's unrelated but does it have Plex? I'm considering buying it but don't want to learn the hard way.

It lacks UHD support and it's pretty buggy and laggy compared to the Nvidia Shield version

Buh_Snarf

It's had it since it launched? Or at least has on my Shield.

The only problem I find is that when you click on a program from the launcher it doesn't actually open the program in the app, just the app home screen which is daft. Does the same for ITV hub also.

How can you sign up using VPN?

I should bloody well think so. iPlayer has been available on every Android TV for years.
