Nine begins roll-out of catch-up and streaming service 9Now and registration system My9
Nine Entertainment has begun the roll-out of 9Now its new catch up TV and live streaming service, in a move that will see it junk its current brand 9Jumpin.
Mumbrella revealed last week that Nine would launch the service this week, with the service requiring users to login in and provide their details through to a new membership program called My9.
As of 3:00pm today the website and mobile app were both live but users were not yet able to sign up to My9 to access the service.
My9 is currently down but expected to launch in the coming days.
After going through the process of bringing the logo/channel family together with the dots the My9 looks a little clumsy. Especially using the numeral 9.
It going now
Before we worry too much about passing addressable first party data to advertisers, how about using it to get some basics right for the USER.
A mandatory field on sign up is postcode – then click on the live stream option and you are greeted with the live feed titled, ‘LIVE NOW IN NSW.
So, targeting is only out by around 1,000km (and an hour or so…)
But it going now…
Wow! Congratulations 9! Site is beautiful, great UX, clear user interface, a great experience from my view.
whats catchup TV? is it just repeats? I love foxtel
The fact that 9 has created a catch up site that forces viewers to create 9 accounts is really wrong.
How do I Opt out of this shit? it’s screwed up My browser and nothing works properly
How Come there’s no Your Location like Plus7 where Anybody in Australia can select one of the Five Metro Feeds plus NBN in Northern NSW?
What a joke I have to sign in, sorry 9 but I will using you new app
Is it currently down?. Can’t seem to access anything. Not sure about the creating a login profile just to access it.
Useless app. After 2 hours trying to watch one 30 minute show, all I got to see was lots of ads. Software hangs, drops from Apple TV. Abc’s catchup works perfect. 9now is waste of space.
Just loaded 9now, I live in Adelaide but the live section only looks at 9live NSW..can’t make it change to liveSA…
“Please provide personal details which we will carelessly share both knowingly and unknowingly with advertising partners and pretty much anyone who waves a dollar under our nose, because in addition to the regular ads you were going to see anyway, we need even more cash to prop up our creaky 1975 business model which is in serious danger of being torpedoed by internet based content providers”
Seriously, this is the same organisation who can’t yet even stream the 6 o’clock news or ACA with any degree of reliability, and feels the need to clog your browser with a mind boggling number of scripted background tracking and reporting tools for each of their web properties just to make an extra .0003c from your visit. What could possibly go wrong?
Adverts to start the show, fast forwarded 3 minutes only to be greeted by another 5 f^^king ads in a row. What a shithouse setup, i’m outta here.
Cannot log in and have wasted half the day trying. What a waste of time…
Channel 7 and 10 no problems.
The new platform is crap. Cannot log in at all. Well done Channel 9.
Sorry to tell you but the 9Now App is Rubbish and freezes constantly you cant even rewind. I just uninstalled it it’s useless I’ve already complained before and they did nothing and on top of that you have to watch the same ad played 6 frickin times
Seriously..having log in with key code..every time dosent half ruin the viewing experience. ..SERIOUSLY!!…
Seven, Ten, Abc,SBS Apps all work fine click on any show it loads and can watch no problem. Nine now app click on a show just shows still shot with loading wheel in center forever tried resetting reloading restarting. Ridiculous!
I don’t want to login just to watch catchup. I want my privacy. It just seems like a way of getting your details and then onselking them. Sorry but i won’t watch 9now if i have to have an account
