Can I use a different Now TV account on Apple TV?

I have an apple TV box and the account & password is in my apple ID account .... however my partner has an account with NOW TV with a different email and password and we just view on smart TV. I have loaded up the NOW TV app on the apple TV and would like to watch via apple TV. Is there a way of logging into the NOW TV app with partners account details ? At the moment I cannot find a way to do this. It looks like I have to purchase a sub for NOW TV in order to use it and there is no option to simply login with existing NOW TV account details. Any help greatly appreciated. Gary

There should be an option to sign in using the credentials that you wish. https://help.nowtv.com/article/watching-now-on-apple-tv

The fact you see "Get" means you have not downloaded the App yet.

You are seeing the app in the App Store, and you need to select the "Get" button to download it onto the Apple TV. It will ask for your Apple ID to download it though. Once it has been downloaded, the "Get" button will turn to an "Open" button and the App will have been installed on the Apple TV's Home Screen.

At that point, you can open the App and log in with your partner's account details.

When you download the App it will ask for your Apple ID and password yes.

Once downloaded there should be an option to log in with your partners account inside the NOW App.

I have the NOW TV app downloaded but if I try to open it all I get is prompt to 'get' or subscribe using my own apple ID details ... there is no option to simply login using partners account.....
