Cable Forum - View Single Post - General Sky Atlantic on Now TV

I bought a Now TV box and think it's pretty good value for a tenner. I reviewed it the other day on the VMHD blog for watching Sky Atlantic. I was pretty impressed.
The biggest downside for me is that is that I can't record Atlantic shows on my TiVo nor on my old Panasonic DVD recorder (which only accepts SCSI input). And it's SD only (albeit very good SD). Having said that, the Catch Up on Now TV has the last four week's new episodes, can be paused and FF/RW and I think may be in 720p (need to check that).
It's £4.99 a month only as an "introductory offer" - don't know what it will be by the time Game of Thrones and Mad Men return next spring. If we still don't have Atlantic on Virgin by then I'll probably pay for Now TV for a few months when those two shows return (they normally broadcast very close together).
As Seinfeld once said, "I don't wanna be pirate"...
