What 9Now is
- 9Now is Nine Network’s free streaming service offering live channels (Channel 9, 9Go, 9Gem, 9Life) plus on-demand content.[4]
- Availability has expanded across web, mobile, and many TV-connected devices, with ongoing updates to supported platforms.[6][4]
Current status and recent developments
- 9Now has historically rolled out on multiple TV platforms (smart TVs, streaming devices) and periodically updates compatibility lists; some older TV models may lose support as the app evolves.[1][7]
- If your device shows a message that 9Now is no longer supported on your TV, that indicates discontinued support for that device and you’ll need a compatible alternative (e.g., a newer smart TV or a streaming device) to continue using 9Now.[7]
How to connect 9Now to your TV (general methods)
- Smart TV app: Check your TV’s app store for the 9Now app and install it; sign in or create a Nine account to access live and on-demand content (availability varies by model). If the app isn’t listed, your TV may no longer be supported.[4][7]
- Streaming devices: Use devices like Chromecast with Google TV, Apple TV, or other Android TV boxes to install 9Now from their app stores and cast to your TV screen. This is a common workaround when built-in TV apps aren’t available or are outdated.[3]
- Web/HDMI streaming: If you don’t have a compatible smart TV, you can cast or mirror from a phone, tablet, or computer to the TV via Chromecast, AirPlay, or HDMI connection, depending on your setup.[5]
- Note on Live TV: 9Now supports live streaming of Channel 9 networks in addition to on-demand content, which is especially convenient for live events and news.[4]
Troubleshooting quick tips
- Ensure your device firmware and 9Now app are up to date; compatibility is often tied to software version rather than hardware alone.[1][6]
- If you encounter buffering or login issues, try a wired network connection for streaming devices or move closer to the router to improve stability.[3]
- If your device is no longer supported by 9Now, consider an alternative streaming device or a newer smart TV to regain access to the service.[7]
