Nine Officially Launch 9Now - Mediaweek
Nine have officially launched their streaming and catch-up video service 9Now.
www.mediaweek.com.auHere’s the latest I can provide on 9Now and connecting it to your TV.
-
What’s new with 9Now: 9Now remains Nine Network’s free streaming service offering live channels (Nine, 9Go!, 9Gem, 9Life) and on-demand content. Recent coverage confirms ongoing improvements and expanded device support, including TV-connected devices and streaming boxes, with live TV and catch-up features continuing to be central to the service. A number of guides and tutorials published in 2024–2025 emphasize how to connect 9Now to various TV setups and devices, including smart TVs and external streaming hardware.[2][3][4][5]

How to connect 9Now to a TV (common methods):
- Smart TVs: Install the 9Now app from your TV’s app store and sign in or create a Nine account to start streaming live TV and on-demand shows. This approach is commonly recommended across user guides and app stores.[3][6]
- Streaming devices and set-top boxes: Use compatible devices (Chromecast with Google TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, etc.) to install 9Now and cast or run the app directly on your TV. Tutorials and product guides frequently highlight this path as a straightforward way to access 9Now on non-native smart TVs.[4][2]
- Web browser: If your TV supports a browser, you can also access 9Now via the web interface, though the app experience is generally smoother on devices designed for streaming.[3]
-
Tips for a smooth experience:
- Ensure a stable internet connection and keep your TV/streaming device firmware up to date.
- If you’re primarily after live sports or news, use the live TV tab within the 9Now app for lower-latency viewing and quick access to current broadcasts.[5]
- If you’re outside Australia, note that some guides mention using setup steps or alternative methods to access 9Now content, but availability may vary by region.[8][10]
Illustration: A typical setup flow
- On TV (or connected device): install 9Now app → open → sign in or create account → choose Live or On Demand → enjoy.
- If you prefer casting: install 9Now on your phone/tablet → cast to TV via Chromecast or AirPlay → control playback from your device.
If you’d like, tell me:
- your TV make/model or streaming device (e.g., Samsung Smart TV, LG, Chromecast with Google TV, Apple TV),
- whether you want step-by-step instructions for that specific setup,
- and whether you’re in or outside Australia.
I can tailor a precise setup guide and share device-specific steps.
