However I also experienced some issues and I can't believe it was due to demand of the game I was watching (Raith Rovers vs St Johnstone). I guessed at the time the stuttering and drop outs was due to the demand of a more popular match which was being streamed at the same time.

I've not used it since then.

I assume from launch date (24/8/16), the post didn't say how long for.

How does the picture quality compare between TV Player+ & Now TV?

Saw an advert last night for Now TV Combo, is this new?

Free box, free broadband, £9.99 for Now TV and £17.99 line rental per month. Not sure if any free calls are included. £40 or £50 'set up fee' may apply.

I wouldn't expect Sky Sports Mix any time soon on Now TV, from a team member on their support forums today:-

"At the moment there are no plans for NOW TV to carry Sky Sports Mix.

However if the plans change we will announce*this as we do with anything new*

Thanks, looks like the CS people aren't singing from the same song sheet (again).

Standard scripted response Skysports mix will be on virgin, nowtv and sky, also one suspects they may do the odd promo on picktv too to tempt bt/freeview/freesat etc customers.

I'd heard that Now TV broadband customers would get it. Will be interesting to see what happens next week.

To be fair I thought there would be a good chance but I can see why they haven't so as to preserve number of sky customers moving to just now TV

Just been looking at Now TV. Their new box with non recordable Freeview seems daft as you'd be hard pressed to buy a TV without a DTT tuner built in these days.

I much prefer the older and cheaper model.

From my research, the new box doesn't seem to be as popular as they had hoped and is now being discounted for anyone that wants one.

IIRC it was £69 at launch and has been reduced on Tesco Direct to £59, however someone has seen them reduced to £39.99 in Tesco Express!

The older box without Freeview has been reduced to £20.
