So, if I buy two of these I will have 6 months of passes for my existing 2nd Gen box? Or will they somehow be tied to the unit they are purchased with?

heat added bought for this price at curry's 3 months ago :smiley:

heat, love my now tv box

from what i've read the vouchers will work on any account, i was looking at the 25 voucher on the shelf above, and thought i might as well just buy two boxes and save my self a fiver and get an extra month.

ShopTo is £12.85 online if you can't find the Curry's in-store deal

Is it all stores? Annoying not online. Heat

Ps does anyone know if the new HD one is worth it?

can I stack say a years worth of vouchers to my account or can I only have 3 months at a time?

Saw these in the Evesham store yesterday.

I've just ordered the BT ultra box can these vouchers be used on it?

can I use these to watch programs on my tv from my ipad or do I need something different

My wifi is fine, but I'm also curious how much better the picture quality is on the new boxes

Thanks. Fantastic. I bought 3 in Sheffield this morning. Heat.

when the box says it includes two months of movies, doors it actually mean two months worth or does it mean the first month free for new accounts and one month more with the voucher?

Just a warning, we bought our box months ago and when we came to use the voucher for Movies this week it wouldn't accept it as it was expired - even though we couldn't see anywhere in the info that the code had an expiry date. Anyway, a quick phone call got our code accepted, so no problem, but something to bear in mind.

Great deal, i'm currently missing sky movies but they want £11 a month to upgrade! Would rather buy one of these for 3 months :smiley: Will be on the look out in canterbury area next weekend :man:

Not a great deal at Currys.

I've been into Currys this morning to get one and it is £9.99 as stated, but only if you are also buying a TV at the same time.
I'll check PC World in an hour or so and report back.

UPDATE 1 hour later:
Turns out they hadn't updated the shelf pricing, £9.99 it is, see my update post #28.

Still £14.99 in my currys, must be store specific.

My bad.
Update to my previous comment #25.

I went to PC World but due to abominable customer service I got nowhere.
So I went back to Currys where the pricing is still £14.99 as marked on the shelf. Took one to the checkout and asked them to check the price. It came up £9.99, all happy now, thanks OP!

do I need a TV licence to use Now TV?

Wow! I'm loving this thing for a tenner!

What a deal!

Thanks op. Just bought two nowtv boxes with 2 month movie passes from pc world. Clearly shelf labelled at £9.99 each (was going to buy from elsewhere for £14.99....so much appreciated). Heat added.

I've always wondered how they can prove that?

My wifi is good too. Also want to know if the picture is better?

They can't....and never have....the only time people get 'fined' is by self admission and the old scare tactics, no TV detector Vans ever worked and from what I've seen had no or little equipment in them, they don't own equipment that can 'target' individual homes or have any powers to enter anyones home....:smiley:

The new boxes are set up for 1080 but this is for the future as Now tv is still 720, which is what the old boxes could output. I think you can use external memory on the new boxes - but for what use I am not sure.

Seriously? I've always paid tv licence and never watch live tv. But too scared to cancel my licence.

So not much use at the mo!

Yep, IIRC they (BBC) have never proved in a Court of Law EVER that someone was watching TV without a License by ANY method they claim to be able to 'detect' what you're doing. They have NO powers whatsoever to enter your home (They can with a Court Order but need to prove you are watching without a License but they can't do that without physically seeing you watch Live TV) and have just for years bullied and scared people into paying when sometimes you didn't need to.

I've just got my box, about to set it all up...quick help question. Do i sign up online for the 1 month movies free trial, then once that's finished, i then put my 2 month pass code up? (sorry, just wanted to double check!)

Just putting them out at Burnley - Cheers

Saw now tv with 2 day sports pass for £9.99 in pc world Wednesbury earlier but brought 2 movie one's instead for Xmas presents

They had the entertainment & movie boxes in Currys Gloucester today. In PC world ,Gloucester only the movie ones were left on the shelf

Interesting article re TV licence -

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/money-saving-tips/10925912/The-legal-way-to-avoid-paying-the-TV-licence-fee.html

Really interesting. Dunno if I can be bothered with the faff of inspections etc.

They have a database of which addresses have a license and which don't so are already half way there.

A few of each, including sports with 2 day passes in Kendal today (marked up as £14.99 but sports pack scanned at £9.99)

If anyone is thinking of getting one of these for plex there's a good guide to installing it here http://smarthomethin.gs/how-to-install-plex-on-a-now-tv-box/

I have a 2nd gen box & you can sideload a roku app called roku usb player, which enables mp4/mkv to be played through now tv box

Thanks! There's a section to apply a voucher, do i only apply the movie voucher once the free trial ends? I read before that you shouldn't apply the voucher until after?

​thanks. I'll go grab one or two. I have Netflix but this might be handy to have

That's how I did it in the past.

...or you could hold fire before applying your voucher and open another new account and get another 30 day free trial. You will need a different email address and payment card details for each new account.

Unfortunately you can still only sideload one app to the Now TV box, and I've already got plex installed so can't install this one also

thanks op bought 2 in Rotherham Parkgate, also got a offer of a free £50 currys voucher with the receipt if anyone family etc upgrade a mobile phone using the instore carphone warehouse in this currys megastore.

I'm sorry this is slightly unrelated, but I don't really understand plex or Roku benefits in addition to now tv. Is there a way of watching a series (eg caste season 7, which is not on now tv box sets) by streaming using these methods. Forgive my ignorsnce, I've done a Google search and it's all a bit above my head. Thanks!

Thanks op, just bought 2 today, 1 movie & 1 entertainment - they had plenty in the Leamington spa store. Only problem is, I'll probably see even less of my teenage daughters now, but they're over the moon & are currently having a movie night in their bedroom

Be aware that Movies and Entertainment are crippled at the moment with on-going major sound issues.
Big drop outs/stuttering etc. See the Now TV Community for more details.

Got one today these are in the refreshed packaging so should be valid for a while. I have the 2 months from chromecast.
HDMI cables are this price in currys ! I will use as a spare power lead and remote.

Bought one from Currys/PCWorld today. Thanks OP.

Cannock Currys had Sports/Entertainment & Movies for £9.99 this afternoon.
Thanks to OP.

John Lewis has the new HD box for £15, including a choice of pass.
New HD box extras:
1080p content (future proof)
Micro SD card reader
USB port
7.1 surround sound support

so surely the new HD box for an extra £5 is the better option?

Can i use two passes in one go for example have a movie pass and entertainment pass together or is it one pass at a time

No looks like it's the old box, model no. NTVMB3

Can u click and collect?

Thanks

Has anyone added one of these passes onto a current subscription ?

I recently combined 3 months entertainment with my initial month trail, and it worked fine.

Thanks for that, got one yesterday in Exeter , marked at £19-99 but scanned at £9-99, code went straight in for the entertainment 3 months

hmmmmm might buy for a year's sky on demand for less than 40 quid bargain as o never watch TV live anyway unless it's sport
