Its not too long ago Sky Sports on Now TV was a stutter fest, they finally make it a very good service and now abandon a platform that a lot of money must have been sunk into to make it a very good service.
As someone who is lucky enough to use Peacock I would say that Now's interface is superior, lets hope that's the only thing better on the Now service.

Frame rate matching was added to Sky Showtime app in Europe a few months ago so I suspect the new Now app will be capable of that.

Some excellent shows on it, but you likely like alot of stuff that I consider crap as well.

Apple give them away for all sorts of things.
I got the 3 month offer with a SIM from ID last week.
Unlikely to take it up as you always have to remember to cancel.

You can cancel straight away and still use it.

It's 3 months free when signing up to Currys Perks which doesn't cost anything.

The £5 per month Barclays Blue Rewards includes Apple TV+ and MLS season pass.

Good to know, but I get all the Apple shows I want from other sources anyway.

Yes, but the smallprint generally says you have to cancel or they will start charging after 3 months.

You can cancel straight away and still use it up to the end date of the free period
