The monthly cost is well worth it especially when you can get a deal and get 6 months TV for less than £15 often and that includes a free box.

I think it's mainly a cost thing. A great alternative to traditional pay TV for households who are on a tight budget or don't like the idea of being tied down to a 12 or 18 month contract. If your prepared to shop around you can get an Entertainment pass for a little as £3.33 per month. Plus for many the free services like iPlayer, ITV Hub, 4 for All and Demand 5 are a big plus.

In summary cheap to buy, great free on demand services and a monthly cost that's cheaper than a pint at your local.

So you bought Now TV but you don't really know what it is or anything about it?

SnoopZ · 21-06-2016, 10:18

Now TV is awesome for what it is if you don't want to pay the rip off prices from Sky or Virgin, it is also an excellent streamer if you sideload the Plex app.

It's a natural step between Sky's long-contract Satellite service and Netflix-like on demand.

It gives you access to a lot of the good stuff Sky have (such as their US shows and box sets) but you don't have a have a satellite dish, and have no contract. Their STB is incredibly cheap, although if you have pretty much any recent smartphone, tablet or certain other set top boxes (such as the Apple TV, which I use), you don't need to buy a Set Top Box either.

You can also view all the content on your mobile if (say) you are on a long journey.

I'd forgotten that..

NOW TV boxes currently limited to 720p and Stereo although (I think) the re-badged Roku boxes can handle 1080p and 5.1 audio ..

Worth the limitation to see GOT

If you buy the setop boxes using deals that come and go, you can get cheap viewing. Here's an example:

Now TV box with 6 months entertainment pass £19.00 at Tesco Instore

Now TV doesn't show in full HD though so the limited STB isn't really an issue. A lot of content is still SD I think.

SnoopZ · 21-06-2016, 19:53

Live broadcast channels are SD i think but the catchup is 720p, still great cheap alternative to a Sky or Virgin package, especially with cheap codes.
