I think they're basically aimed at different markets - Now TV is an add-on for Freeview and Freesat users. Sky Stream covers the free and paid-for channels like Sky satellite or VM.
...and for Virgin customers who want access to Sky Atlantic or who want to save money by downgrading to Mixit and replacing the lost channels with Now TV instead of paying for the channels twice.

I never pay Now TV standard pricing. By going through the online cancellation proces, the cheapest Sky Movies I've had is for free and the cheapest Entertainment £1 a month.

Atm there is a free 1 month trial on it, no upfront fee, nothing to pay for a month then a monthly rolling contract at £29p/m.
Exactly. Each service has pros & cons & prices vary.

To escape the forthcoming price rise, I urge people to do a channel audit to see what channels th ey watch (and for how long) and then look for the cheapest option that gives them what they want.

For Virgin customers this could mean changing supplier or simply downgrading their TV pack (you'd be surprised what the lowest pack-Mixit- now offers.
