The big difference is that it seems to have HD Sky channels, which Now TV still doesn't have (although the 720p is very good).
Sky Q over the internet was promised by Sky for 2018 but never materialised. HD Now TV has also been "coming soon" for some time.

I haven't dug the press releases out but is that how Sky worded it Q over the internet I genuinely can't remember ?

Sky over the internet will be an OTT solution in my opinion but a fuller service than that which Now TV currently is.

I'd imagine Comcast will want one platform , with Sky in Europe and Comcast in the USA.

Comcast streaming device wonder if they'll both employ the same tech

Technically, 720p is HD, but only just! It's a fairly decent picture, though, as you say.

I think the new internet version of Sky will be launched in the UK in 2020.

Not good if your an existing customer but usually means crazy attractive prices for those who aren't.

Now TV have recently slashed their free trial in half to one week, it's been speculated that this is because of Game of Thrones returning.

Sky Cinema will be increasing to £11.99 per month from 2/4/19. I've seen a post that says that Sky Entertainment is also going up, but not seen anything official to confirm this.

I got NOW TV a couple of weeks ago, via their stick, I only paid £19.99 in total and that included two months for the Entertainment channel, which has all the Atlantic shows that I like, including GOT.

Yes, seeing all those on demand programmes that have been on Sky Atlantic makes you realise what we missed. Unfortunately, Sky Atlantic seems to have less good stuff on it now. Additionally, the next series of Game of Thrones will be the last. I hope it doesn't then degenerate into another Sky One.

Yeah, they seem to be offering a choice between the free trial or paying a little for a month or so. I got a months Sky Cinema, a months Entertainment and 5 months kids for a fiver.

Whatever you do, don't pay the full price for a renewal pass. This is the best offer at the moment that i've found as the cheap passes on eBay seem to have dried up:

Also, if you cancel with the reason "I can't afford it", you will usually get a cheap offer. I've known people get 3 months for the price of 1 or £1 a month.
