In fact, there are a few steps you can try to get the Fox Now app working again on your Samsung Smart TV. 

Software updates, restarts, reinstalling the app, app updates, and resetting the Smart Hub can all help resolve issues with the Fox Now app not functioning properly. 

While frustrating, with some patience and troubleshooting you should be able to get the Fox Now app back up and streaming your favorite Fox content on your Samsung TV. 

Possible causes for the Fox Now app not working on Samsung Smart TV:

• Outdated software or firmware on the Samsung Smart TV. If the TV is not running the latest updates, it can cause compatibility issues with the Fox Now app.
• The Fox Now app itself needs an update. If the Fox Now app is outdated, it may have bugs or other issues that prevent it from working properly.
• Internet connectivity problems. If there is an issue with your Wi-Fi or internet connection, it can disrupt the Fox Now app's ability to stream content.
• Account sign-in error. There may be an issue signing in or authenticating your Fox account within the Fox Now app. Password reset or re-entering account info may help.
• Geographic restrictions. There may be geographic restrictions preventing the Fox Now content from streaming in your current location. You'll need to contact Fox support to address this.
• Smart Hub software issues. Rarely, there are software bugs or glitches that can impact the Smart Hub platform on Samsung TVs which the Fox Now app relies on. Resetting the Smart Hub may resolve these types of issues.
• Incompatibilities with other apps. If you have recently installed other apps on your Samsung TV, they may be causing a conflict with or instability in the Fox Now app. Removing recently added apps may help in this scenario.
• Hardware issues. In some cases, there may be an underlying hardware problem with the Samsung Smart TV that is impacting various apps and functions, including the Fox Now app. This would require service from a Samsung technician to diagnose and repair.
• Fox Now app bug. There is a possibility that there is a bug with the Fox Now app software itself on Samsung televisions that will require an update from Fox to fix. Although less likely, it remains a possible cause of the issues.
