Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. have been added taking the channels available in the Entertainment pack up to 12. ITV Encore will be added shortly. My understanding is they are looking to push the entertainment pack up to 15 channels with the 2 new channels rumoured to be History and National Geographic. If there is any truth in this I'd seriously consider binning pay TV and replacing it with NOW TV. Those 15 channels plus Freeview and either Netflix or Amazon Instant would pretty much cover all my viewing needs at a fraction of the price I currently pay.

Now TV is a good service what stops me saying its excellent is its inferior stream quality when compared to Netflix , whilst the quality is perfectly acceptable it would be nice to have Netflix PQ with 5.1 audio , I saw a rumour recently that Sky were looking to improve Sky Go streams so I suppose its not beyond the realms of possibility.

Here is a good deal on NOW TV at Argos:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/1588222.htm

NOW TV with 4 months entertainment pass only 12.50!

You could buy 3 for 37.50, have one in each room, and enjoy SKY Atlantic etc... for a whole year. Works out at only 3.12 per month! I suppose however if you take away the cost of the 3 boxes being 30.00 in total, your getting a years worth of pay TV for 7.50, 62p per month. Now that's a bargain.

Plan to keep the 4 months pass until my 50% off deal expires with SKY in March. Last time when my 50% deal expired I cancelled TV, but kept my broadband and phone active advising these would be cancelled too once I'd decided which provider to use for TV. Within 2 weeks they came back offering me 50% off to take a new 12 month contract. In the end it turned out to be more like 60% off when SKY decided to give me broadband for free. At least this time when I cancel I'll have the 4 month pass allowing me to continue enjoying SKY programming until they comeback with a great new deal :D

I think, tbh, that Sky will move towards offering the same deals on "winback" as they offer to new customers, ie top discount of 25% off with a new box on 12 month contract or without the new box without a contract.

Lot's of new customers are joining without discounts on tv so this will be the eventual goal.

Historically Virgin didn't discount and lead on the benefits of faster broadband.

Sky are hoping that if they reduce discounts that the market will reciprocate.

Thanks for sharing. I'm currently one month into a four month pass at the moment. Whilst I have SKY my wife has been using the NOW TV box in the bedroom to watch things like Geordie Shore on catch up.

If you ever get any more of these please share with your Cable Forum chums, they will be greatly received :tu:
