I was basing it on the bare minimun i could find as you do not need entertainment pass for sky sports on nowtv so was trying to balance it out if that makes sense? lol.
Ofcourse it will vary if you take out m+ or above.
It's a bit of this a bit of that.

Hit the nail on the head there.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Given that it's only £3 more than if you bought it from VM whilst subscribing to M TV, it's not such a rip off as I would have expected from Sky.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Agreed they have surprised me tbh with that price.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Are we factoring cost of broadband with these prices as for cord cutting? you still need Internet to view it, would it be incorrect to assume to add £10 for cheapest BB cord cutting as VM, BT and sky prices include the BB

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Sky and VM offer TV services without broadband. I assume that with BT, you have to have BB from them to get TV. I could be wrong on that though.

But the significant change to me is that, for sports fans, sport is now available at a similar, though slightly higher price, via streaming rather than having to subscribe to a full pay TV service with at least a 12 month contract; Now TV's previously daily and weekly passes were too expensive to be viable for a sports fan who want an on-going service.

It may still be cost effective to go down the Sky or VM route if you want phone and broadband bundled, but there is now another option, especially if you want BT sport as well as Sky sports, as this is free (excluding the new European part) if you get your broadband from BT.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

You can actually get BT's TV for free per month which includes all BT Sport channels however this only includes the non PVR Youview box and I think there's an activation charge of around £35.

Anyone with the Now TV Entertainment Pass

True Detective Season 2 (HBO) starts this Monday , Colin Farrell , Vince Vaughn

The Brink (HBO) starts this Monday , Tim Robbins , Jack Black

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

100% agree, for me personally a potential game changer to go down the individual stream route for a more tailored package

If costs work out I may sacrifice the HD in order to do this

Full press release here , mention of a new UI plus some extra functionality.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

That's not too bad. This article suggests the box will support 1080p stream:

http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/16/sky-now-tv-august/

The current Now TV box streams SKY Sports at 720p. So if the new box does stream at 1080p, and that's the quality it delivers for SKY Sports, is £31.99 per month via Now TV actually the cheapest way to get SKY Sports in full HD?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Is that a recent change? I thought all live broadcasts on Now TV were streamed in SD quality.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

They are except for on the Apple TV box which are 720p.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Anyone watching/watched Orange is the new Black? My twitter feed is clogged with people raving about it. Just wondering if I should give it a go.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

I watched the first series but haven't started the second yet as i've been binge watching other stuff, i need to get my butt in gear.

Give it a couple of episodes and see how you go.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Defo worth it.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
 

Thanks, will watch a couple of episodes tonight then.
