I've got issues with Three Now TV on FireTV - how does it work for you on Android TV

Not sure why u would use a fire tv in nz.

Get a android TV dongle and use that, these apps are written for Android with Google services in the backend.

Not some jank aosp rebadge.

Because I really like the build quality of the Amazon devices, and for the most part they work well.

Also 2 years ago there wasn't a lot of choice for Android TV centric dongles.

Thanks for the heads up. Had also been waiting for the three now app on Android tv. Figured they had to get on board sometime. It was not pushed to my tv as new apps often seem to be (Disney+ etc) and I could not find it in the App Store. However I visited the link in the second post on this thread and was able to have it ‘pushed ‘to my TV - a 2015 Sony Bravia. Crashed straight after launching first time, 2nd launch worked fine and I was able to log in and start streaming.

The Sky Sport Now app was automatically showing on the home screen however I don’t use that one.

if only Three had a TV show worth watching and a better than SD quality stream. 😏
