I am afraid that I will have to consider dropping my subscription for NowTV and move on to other content provider options until I can comfortably watch NowTV content again through any means I wish, as should be the case.Īny form of official reply, insight or reassurance that this will be solved in the very near future would be wise. I am on Windows 7, along with an extremely large portion of the world (don't know about NowTV's userbase split), and so the "upcoming, shiny" feature, should not be a windows 8/10 app at all! Users should NEVER have to change such a fundamental software choice just to get content from one service, of which they are paying money for. If both Chrome and Firefox have dropped support for this buggy, vunerable piece of software, then the issue lies with NowTV or Sky to sort the issue.

Mac Computers (for Firefox ESR version 52.9.0, including how to have two versions of FireFox working side-by-side). After watching an episode last night, found out today after a forced Firefox upgrade, that I can no longer watch any NowTV content on Firefox either. Windows Machines (for Internet Explorer and Firefox ESR version 52.9.0). Having had to cope with using Firefox to watch NOWTV content (it is not my main browser) since purchasing the service. I also support the decision to move away from silverlight to HTML5 or similar. By removing NPAPI in Firefox 53, the release after the ESR, users that need NPAPI support can continue to switch to Firefox ESR 52 and keep using NPAPI plugins until May 2018. It is appalling dereliction and complacency from Sky and NOWTV not to have migrated from Silverlight long before now. The integration ensures that Firefox covers both Flash and Silverlight DRM on the Internet after the termination of support for NPAPI support. The news about Chrome and Firefox removing Silverlight support and when - and of Microsoft stopping Silverlight development and plans to drop it in its own browsers - came out years ago. like an HTML5 player, or even a Flash one. So will you PLEASE replace Silverlight with something ordinary Firefox or Chrome browsers will support on a Windows 7 laptop. NOWTV on my Windows 7 laptop is the only way to get the SKY programmes that distract me from the pain a little. I'm still using a big old CRT TV, so forget it. I can't have a satellite dish where I live, can't move, and as for NOWTV boxes to plug into an HDMI TV.

I can't afford to buy a shiny new computer just for Windows 10 and APP stores just to watch some Sky programmes, especially when my Windows 7 laptop still works fine. , what? And most importantly WILL IT WORK FOR WINDOWS 7 users? NOWTV does not support Chrome or Mozilla, not the other way round.īut it also says "We're working on something shiny and new for you." which is, on the global scale of things an arrogant reversal. For now.īut browsing to a NowTV programme page and clicking to play in Firefox now pulls up an error message about Mozilla no longer supporting NOWTV. Yes, for now I can use IE just to watch NOWTV.

Other option is to use Internet Explorer 11 if you need to have Java/Flash or Silverlight at your disposal.

Since then I've used Firefox, but as of last night's update it has dropped Silverlight support. rely on Firefox ESR as a long term solution. I used to use Chrome, but it dropped Silverlight support.
