if you buy this can you use the subscription online/ps4 too? or can you purely only watch through the box?

Hey = thanks for this! I thought it might be good seeing as I don't like the way I have to keep pointing the remote on the white nowtv box to it for me to control anything. I prefer the ease of the amazon fire stick and my ps3 remote that i don't have to point the remote for it to work....
maybe the black nowtv is better now?!

is anyone using a ROKU STICK with nowtv? i don't like the remote on the nowtv box (I prefer bluetooth connectivity so I don't have to point the remote at the box)

Yes - can't recommend it, the remote uses Wifi Direct (not BT) and its *very* flakey (I had to take first stick back as remote just didn't work at all, current one random stops seeing remote). Forums suggest its a dodgy wifi chip affecting some batches.
I found proximity to Wifi access point - being within a few yards with line of sight - made a huge difference, as does not rebooting the stick all the time by powering from mains not TV. Still drops connection once a week or so though.

PC World version available for C&C or delivery those struggling to find it in Argos or Tesco
Yeah you've to sideload a Roku script to enable USB playback. A bit harsh on Sky's part to hobble both the USB and microSD out of the box. Some folks who buy this will never be able to use the USB slot for their photos and movies due to limited know-how. The microSD slot has been permanently hobbled, nothing anyone can do about it from what I can see.

If you go on live chat and ask them to check the expiry date of your unusued vouchers they will do. I've just check 4 lots and they are all valid until 2017 when I bought them around June this year. Unless its stated when buying the voucher it's worth checking with live chat. :smiley:

I used an 18 month old voucher with 4 months entertainment last month and it worked perfectly.
With recent and current offers I have another 2 years worth of subscriptions covered.
After the sale of the boxes, it's cost me £24.

Cheers. Box states thy vouchers expire 12 months after purchase. Cancelled sky so don't new these until January... Should I buy two that's the dilemma

Is there a date by when these have to be activated by? Ie can I start them after Christmas?
reg66 to chriskettle
29 Nov 15#43
i'm pretty sure they have to be activated within a year of purchase, well, the 3 month ones did a while ago so assume these are the same

Not sure about £9 deals, but amazon still have new Now boxes with 3 month entertainment OR 2 month movie pass for £9.99.. check out lightning deals... BUT 95% claimed.. so be quick :confused: (£14.74 for non prime apparently)

Is the 3 month passes for £9 deal still available?
Could you possibly link to it?

28 Nov 15#37
Heh, is the offer just activated by a code you type in or is it somehow linked to the box? Just I have EE TV box with now tv and wondering if it's just a code could use on that and not have to plug the box in? cheers

Grabbed one of these. Activated 14 day movie pass. Before the £9.99 subscription kicks in when do you cancel? On the 13th day?

Isn't it better to get 2 boxes with 3 month passes for £9 each instead of £19.99 for one with a 6 month pass. Can the passes be used to stacked up?

Did just that lol, got 2 months movies and 3 months entertainment packages with 2 boxes. Not forgetting 2 week trial. :sunglasses:

Ordered. I don't have NOW TV account yet. On NOW website there's 14 day free trial. I've got NOW TV app on my Roku Streaming Stick. Can I open account and after free trial period just use the 6 month Entertainment Pass code on the Roku Stick and not use the NOW TV box or does the NOW box have to be used. Thanks.

You don't need to use the box, just one of the other compatible devices, as long as you're signed-up on-line with the service you can just add your vouchers to continue watching.
tomwenn to Ivor
28 Nov 15#24
You can register up to three devices on your account, including the box, or not. You can change one of the devices, once, every month. I buy these just for the code. I have two years of NowTV from a previous deal for £60 :-)

Too many offers! I have some on the way after using tesco double up I had loads of vouchers. but then it was rude not to grab the amazon £9 3/3 month offers.
This is a great deal. We are going to end up with 2 accounts on the go in my house with so many devices. LG TVs Xboxes tablets and these boxes.
Hope CEX will still give me £1 as I will have about 5 boxes I don't need!

Just been to the local store to pick up my collection. ITS STILL £39.99 ! !
So came out empty handed. It was manic there too - almost queuing out of the door.
If you want one use fast-track and pay before collecting. Don't risk going there only to find you have to pay £39.99.
