Just last weekend, I decided to unwind with a movie marathon on my Now TV. Snacks? Check. Cozy blanket? Check. But when I settled in and pressed play, nothing happened. My remote seemed as unresponsive as a rock. Frustrated, I wondered, could this common gadget, essential to my relaxation, betray me so easily? If you’ve ever found yourself pointing your remote at the TV, pressing buttons in vain, you know exactly how deflating this moment can be.
A Now TV remote not working often stems from dead batteries. To fix, simply replace the old batteries with new ones, ensuring they’re correctly inserted according to the + and – signs. This straightforward solution revives most remote controls, restoring your access to seamless streaming.
Reflecting on my own troubleshooting journey, another issue I encountered was signal obstruction. My remote failed to communicate with the box because I had inadvertently placed a decorative vase in the line of sight. Objects between your remote and the Now TV box can block the infrared signal, just like a wall blocks a breeze. Moving any obstructions and ensuring a clear path can often restore remote functionality, allowing you to get back to your planned viewing without further ado.
Lastly, it’s worth considering a pairing issue. Imagine your remote and Now TV box as two friends who’ve lost each other in a crowd; they need to find each other again to communicate. If the remote has become unpaired from the box, re-pairing them is necessary. This can usually be done by pressing a specific button sequence or through settings in the Now TV interface, depending on your model. Re-establishing this connection can be the key to getting your remote and Now TV box talking again, ensuring your streaming plans aren’t derailed by technical glitches.
You can also try doing a physical reset by pushing the reset button on the side of your Now TV Smart Stick one time only. Hold the button down for about six seconds and then retry your Now TV Remote.
Now TV Remote Keeps Flashing
When your Now TV Remote keeps flashing, you will not be able to change channels or even change and adjust the volume or any of the other functions of the remote. Usually, this problem is caused by some type of obstruction between the remote and the Now TV device. It could also be due to your Now TV Remote not being in full sync with your Now TV Plug-In Device that is connected to your TV.
If your Now TV Remote is not working and its red light is blinking, check your Bluetooth connection and pairing. Make sure that the Now TV Remote is in full synchronization with your Now TV Device that is plugged into your TV or with the Now TV App. Also, make sure all batteries in the Now TV Remote are fully charged.
In addition, make sure your Now TV Remote is not operating too far away from your Now TV Plugin Device on the back of your TV. Look for anything that might be obstructing the direct pathway from your remote to the TV. Any wireless devices such as speakers or phones that are in the way can also lead to interference with the Now TV Remote’s normal functioning.

The Now TV Remote works by connecting to your Wi-Fi network. If this connection is disturbed, your Now TV Remote will not function properly. Checking the batteries and re-pairing the Now TV Remote can easily solve this problem.

Now the Home Screen should be seen on your TV screen. Put new batteries into the remote and then wait for another 30 seconds and the Now TV Remote should reconnect with the Smart Box or Smart Stick.

Now TV Remote Keeps Disconnecting
Few things are more disconcerting than to have your TV constantly disconnecting. It is not only disorienting, but extremely frustrating. When this happens, you may need to re-sync your Now TV Remote to your Now TV.

Also, make sure that your Now Remote is within a reasonable range of your Now TV and that there is nothing blocking the remote from the TV. Check the batteries in your Now TV Remote to make sure they are fully charged.
