Sky announces Now TV set-top box

"Do I need a Roku account to access other apps?

When using your NOW TV Box, you do not need to set up a Roku account to access apps in the Roku Channel Store. A Roku account is only required if you use a Roku box."

Mind you I will most likely set up a Roku account to get the full benefit. I suspect though that the amount of Roku apps you can install will be very limited.

I love it when quotes on websites contradict themselves lol I think you will get full access to Roku content even though its limited anyway( ok read more I am wrong think it will need flashing)

Few rumours doing the rounds on boxing forums that Fury Vs. Haye on SKY Box Office will be accessible via Now TV.

Just got my despatch notice

Pretty much as I expected , locked down it will be interesting to see what gets added and how they develop the Now TV service.

that shows there is access to the hidden menu which means you should be able to side load apps. I hope that devs will take the job on and either this device will be flashed to a stock Roku or apps will simply be sideloaded

I imagine within a few weeks we will see ways of making better use of this

Basically the normal Roku UI with Now TV branding however no Netflix like the Roku.

well info on some sites are starting to show Dev mode is available which means in theory side loading should be possible. I have sourced a Plex zip to try when mine arrives which will certainly be a good start. In theory is should be relatively easy to build your own Netflix channel ( if you have a clue I do not lol ) so hopefully there will be access to files

the tracking on mine says they know it is being sent but they do not have it yet and that is since Friday

[dilli-theclaw]

The tracking number doesn't work at all on the royal mail site but to be honest I've had that before.

I'll just be happy when it gets here - I can be patient, a little that is
