Normal RRP is £25 and I have not seen these reduced since they came out a few months ago. Uses restricted firmware with no Netflix but otherwise the same as the Roku 2, which is 5x faster than the white Now TV box as well as having an ethernet, USB and micro so slot. Scanned as £20 and also showing £20 on the shelf, came up as sport on the receipt for some reason. I don't know if this is everywhere or a store specific wild goose chase. It was purchased from Warrington Stockton Heath store, there were others left and the Sport box was also £20 but the Movies is better value, normally £19.98 for the 2 months movies alone. Not sure if PLEX can be set up on the new one like it can on the white boxes. Oh, and they have pumpkins for 50p and cheap toilet paper!

Eithernet and plex is main reason. And how many people can really tell difference between 1080 and 720....

Just tested it, and I'm a bit disappointed that the USB port isn't used. It would have been ideal for using my hard drive if it worked. Same with the micro SD slot. It is noticeably faster though, and ideal for anyone who needs a wired connection instead of WiFi. It's back in the box until 1st November though, due to sky's PITA rule about only 1 new device per month. :disappointed:

I don't understand why you can't have more NOW TV boxes on one account, I'd have one in every room with a TV, limiting it to 4 is far too low, as most of us use a PlayStation as back-up when the little boxes go wonky (and they display at a higher resolution) and a PC (which I use so I can check content when reporting the numerous faults with their service). So I'm stuck to two boxes when I have three (I'd like to get the new one too). You can only use two at a time so I don't see what the limit is for?
If you go to live-chat they'll remove your boxes for you so you can add a new one, just say you'd like to replace the older one.
