Most of the issues are related to network speed. So check if you have a data balance on your connection. If you have gone past your data limit of high-speed internet, then this issue with Now TV can be expected.

Improve network speed:

If you have not exhausted your data limit, try the following solutions to improve your internet speed.

  • Reduce the number of devices connected to the Network. Having several devices will reduce the network speed on each device.
  • Stop any download that is running on any connected device. When a device is set to download something, most of the Network’s bandwidth will be occupied with that.
  • Finally, if you are still encountering a slow connection speed, then run a speed test. If your servers are down, it won’t work no matter what you do to improve the speed. So check the network speed, and if it shows up a low number, contact your ISP and let them know about your low rate. They will inform you of what you should do next.

Set up a wired connection:

Connect your Playstation to the router using a wire, which will significantly improve your internet speed. After that, go to Settings on your PlayStation and open up Network. Then select Setup Internet Connection and pick LAN Cable. Finally, choose Easy and then choose Test connection to complete the setup.

Try the following solution mentioned below if this does not solve the problem.

Clean reinstalling the application:

First, you need to delete the application.

  • On the main menu of the PS5, go to TV/Video and find the NOW app.

  • Then press Options on your DualShock 4 Controller and choose Delete.

  • Then select Delete.

Now it’s time to reinstall the application.
