Can we have your full DNA code please?

Ta.

I can add a photo of receipt if required

it says its £15 online cant see 2 for £20 or 1 for £10

On the receipt it says:

1 x [email protected]
1 x NowTV NTVV2ES
0000145180

Hope that helps

To get it for £10, you need to take the box you want to the counter. They will then scan it, and ask them to check the Customer Offers button. I think it was the second option down. After a few seconds, the price then changes from £14.99 to £10.

Can you mix and match boxes ? Get entertainment and movies ?

cold

Any expiry on the voucher? Could be useful when my current one runs out

Can you remember what the movies offer was?

Paying for movies sky etc ?? Xbmc quad core fully loaded £25 amazon

And miserable.

So its more expensive and does not include the 3 months sky entertainment pack.

I wonder if these are going cheap as Sky prepare for bringing in the 2016 model...

I think they quote a year from purchase for the voucher expiry date (how this works I have no idea)

Even if you have a voucher that seems to of expired or is not working then it is still easy to get a replacement valid one via NowTV customer services live chat. They will verify your voucher code and issue you a working one. It's documented on various nowtv threads :smiley:

Just been in the customer offer of £10 is only valid when purchasing with another item. So please post the full receipt next time!

Receipt

Get a Now TV box, something to watch before lambing season begins ha ha ha

Sorry the image is so big

all boxes are 24.99 in Curry's Bolton

I wondered why Amazon had cut their price to £15..

Just been to two stores no store will sell this a £10 as this offer is only valid with a purchase of a TV. So the store who's sold you this have put this through incorrectly.

iIf that's the case, then who are Amazon price-matching? They don't usually drop prices unless someone else does..

apologies the prices in Bolton are 14.99 and the procedure works just got 2 at £10 each they still had the display advertised at 24.99

They're not price matching per se but you can get it for £15 in Sainsbury's and a few other places have also been mentioned on here.

My backwards comments relates to Currys only letting you essentially save £10 by spending £200+. Such a silly move by Currys and any customer who falls for it on that basis!

I think the buying it with a TV might have just been a mistake in that store.

Now? What about later?

These are great with Plex sideloaded.

Guh, it was a reply to the android boxes comment.

You forgot the fish.

Just tried Tottenham Court Road London in store £24.99 comes up as £14.99 on scan. Asked them to input customer offer assistant adamant no offer. Referred to a manger and asked him to above procedure, he did and then said £10.00 on there but only if bought with TV . Muppets not worth wasting time

It's so strange, as nothing came up when I got mine about getting a tv. It was just a few random letters' In fact I just noticed on the receipt the code was 'NWT ENTS WBW' That was all it said, nothing about the TV.

Does anyone know if these boxes have Netflix on them, also can they connect to a NAS drive using DLNA ?

I can't be too much help I am afraid, as I didn't have the white box. I do believe they are supposed to be faster. But cannot give you a more accurate answer I am afraid.

Never mind, just found this:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/134825-now-tv-box-2015-vs-now-tv-box-vs-roku-2-what-s-the-difference

It's hit and miss as they can't be bothered, or else they will let all their mates know to get the deals

Just cancelled my Sky Entertainment package as only show I have watched on there in the last few months is Walking Dead. Not worth paying £6.99 per month for that. Cancellation offer was £4.99 per month for 3 months. Still not enough to make me stay.

If you're referring to spec then I posted this in another thread -

Faster hardware so apps run smoother (BBC iPlayer is usable again)
5ghz wifi
Ethernet port
1080p output
Usb and micro SD card slot (Usb media player can be side loaded onto the box to allow playback of mp4 video files etc)

The phono jack socket has been removed so no audio out this way anymore.

G

£15 in Sainsbury.

It's on Amazon ! I don't have one but know friends who do lovely picture

Yes it does correct young man

I got 2 for £20 at my local store no problems

​The 'WBW' part is short for When Bought With. Although the system still let's you process the sale regardless if you buy a TV or not, with no repercussions for the store. So I guess it depends how much the sales person cares about following procedure.

Many thanks OP. 1 box for £10.00. Bargain.

Thanks allsa001, just been down to my local currys and got the deal.£15 JUST for the 3 months entertainment voucher or £10 for a new box WITH the 3 months voucher inside.Thanks again.

Good price

Voted hot for all the funny comments and it's 666 hot!

Just to add on the entertaiment page of Nowtv i read today that Game of Thrones the boxsets 1 - 5 will be available from 14th March, so if you want to catchup or take a look at it for the first time heres your chance.Ive only seen 1 and 2 which were more than watchable.

I think I will take another cycle down to Currys tomorrow and get another box.

​If he's only saying what Curry's told him then you can't blame him? As everyone has said, this is supposed to be bought with something and if the store that he went to stuck to this then he will be none the wiser. However, I think he should have been more polite about it rather than jumping down the OPs throat.

It was unfortunate he was not able to get the deal. I am just glad that other people have been able to do so.

My mum bought a new TV a few weeks ago and was told the offer was £10 with a new TV - sales assistant said to buy 3 as that was valid... only bought 2 one of each!

Our local Currys also said they were only £10 if purchased with a television too. However, they are currently selling the box with six months entertainment for £25 at Tesco Direct. Asked Currys to price match, so they gave us a £15 3 month voucher and the box with another three months on for £25, so technically got around it and managed to get it for a tenner.

lee your missing the point , he is saying that the currys store was incorrect that is blaming some one , i just think he should have said thanks but i was unable to get mine like you got yours , its not too much to ask is it especially after he asked for the person to post a receipt which is proof which meant he did not believe the person got it for a tenner without buying another item or a tv , because to me that 2 different answers and yet when the person put a photo of the receipt he still said the store was wrong , in fact that store who done the deal might have had it on an offer without buying another item or tv , there could be many reason why the person got it for a tenner but to call someone wrong is idiotic because he was not there at the time it was bought

what a nice decent person you are after going through all the trouble of posting and then being asked to prove yourself which then you had to go out of your way to put up a photo of the receipt and then there was no thanks for doing what they asked of you some people just do my head in , i would of told him to believe you or not its that simple , i believed you before you had to put up a photo of your receipt just tp prove you was telling the truth

Thanks Mickey_Brock. Seems a few people were able to get the deal. I was happy to get the deal, so glad some other people were too. You can't please all of the people all of the time and all that.

best Wishes

Just popped into my local Currys in Trowbridge, Wiltshire and they tried the same 'only when purchased with a TV'. I asked them to check again and they then said 'it's still only when purchased with a TV but we're going to sell it to you for a tenner anyway'. Seemed odd - I think they knew that they were wrong (after checking on their system) but didn't want to look dumb. I wasn't going to argue - I paid them £10 and left with my box :-)

Can we watch sky sports on this one for three months?

Am I right in saying that in order to get any functionality at all, even for the free channels, you need to put your credit card details in as part of the activation process. I appreciate the card doesn't get charged unless you go beyond the free trial time limit but what if you don't have a credit card or don't want to put in your details? I bought one from Sainsbury's, thinking of returning it, would be good to know for sure, seems to be a lot of contradicting advice on the Googles and Youtube. Get the impression there isn't a workaround, any more?

I'm not missing the point? Read my comment again and you'll see that I said he should have been more polite. You're reading into this way too much, to the point where I couldn't really understand your reply. Yes, the guy should have shown a bit of gratitude but it really doesn't need this much dissection and attention. I don't think the OP is going to cry himself to sleep tonight.
Take care.

Aren't the Raspberry Pi's more temperamental when it comes to Media Streaming then that of an Android Box, &/or NOW TV Box equivalent?, or ..... thanx. :-)

I read in one customer review that if you remove your credit card details, you are back to being shut out, that the credit card details are a security precaution, or something to that effect. I don't know if that's true. My plan was to open the box and wire in an audio out socket, from the HDMI socket, as my computer monitor doesn't have speakers. Now I'm thinking it's a bit of a pain. I'm not hugely enthusiastic about helping fund Sky but I thought as the box was made by a third party, that wasn't a thing. I just wanted a cheap way to access free to view content, without the security risk or accidental debit risk of giving my card details. Sorry, I know it's a bit off topic but if someone knows of a cheap and legal way to add free channels to my computer or via a cheap box without credit card details, I would be keen to know.

Back on topic, I voted hot, cheaper than Sainsbury's where I bought mine for £15 and thought that was pretty good.

Congratulations, this is perhaps the very worst line of argument I've ever seen on HUKD, and that's really saying something...

So can these be used with 2.4ghz wifi only?

To those asking if there is a work around for not putting in debit or credit card details. Can you not buy one of those prepaid debit cards like 3v or the old Orange card (optimum) and use those details?

That way they cannot take any payments greater than the balance on the prepaid card. And if you use the balance elsewhere, there won't be nothing left to take. Or leave a small balance in case they recheck the card at other times.

The older white NowTV box had an analogue audio out jack. They are now fairly cheap (£8 from CeX for example) & you could still use your existing subscription.

There are lots of these deals where people are buying a box in order to get a cheap pass, I've got three boxes now myself. It makes you wonder whether, once NowTV has flooded the country with boxes, they'll then stop these offers and bump the price of the passes up. It also makes you wonder whether anyone actually pays full price for a pass. The other thing that occurs to me is that thousands of boxes are being produced that people are presumably throwing in the back of the cupboard - not exactly environmentally friendly. Good deal though.

Sky.
Virgin. etc
No thanks! Been there done that, never again.

Try and think back to the cute little ad with the persecuter telly. Keep tv free. This isn't even free is it, you are stll having to give them money to tap into their wares.

As has been mentioned I've got Android, TVMC on windows, doing stuff like this. Why do I want to consign future plastic to landfill, for what reason exactly ?? Big cold from me.

In which case Sir I congratulate you in your oneupmanship on sky and hope this is used for many many years of good service.

Yes you can still use these on a 2.4ghz setup.

Just bought two, and my friend got 1. staff didn't seem to know what I was talking about but once they checked on the till all was well.

Just got the movies and entrainment ones for £10 each plus £14 for the Chromecast Audio. :-)

Amen to that!, thanx, & yes I agree I bought mine for £15 also (but via Tesco at the time ... ). :-)

Ps.
There's always a cheaper way of doing ..... but depends on how far your prepared to go I guess?, lol.

I got one for £10 tonight at the Chelmsford Curry's a few minutes before they closed! Thanks for posting this deal.

Can these boxes be hacked, out of interest?!

What I did was apply for a pockit credit card which you then load with a tenner, use this for verification and then use the tenner of other stuff.

Obviously I did not register pockit card with real details

Yep... See here http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/chromecast-audio-now-14-currys-pcworld-2403427

Flash sale on until Monday. Most Argos branches selling the Chromecast Audio @ £15 are now out of stock so this beats it.

Thanx for that, but since I asked you that question I've since discovered that link (& responded on it too!).

And I've found this one too:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/chromecast-audio-15-argos-free-click-collect-2402723

Its what we call irony I guess?, hahahaha.

Thanx anyway. :-)

I bought four yesterday, thanks for the heads up, just cancelled Sky TV, but family still wanted access to a few channels, so this is perfect.

Did two for ten no problem at Currys Elk Mill Oldham, just asked at till and he checked with Mgr who said no prob and was really helpful, thinking they might have even done singles for tenner but bought four so didn't ask.

do you need to use the box, or can i just use this to get the 3 months for 10quid on my existing system?

yep,got one for a tenner today in Birmingham ,Curry's on the High Street.

Currys Selly Oak Birmingham refused to sell one for £10 or 2 for £20 just now !

they said that offer was only valid if you buy a TV as well :o

ah well - just walked out !

EliTom

Just tried at Burnley and they wouldn't let me buy 1 for £10 unless I bought something else but there was confusion over the limit I had to spend on the extra product. One guy said I could buy batteries and get the box for £10 another guy said I had to buy something of equal or greater value

If I buy 2 of these can I get 4 months of Now tv free on the same account?

Been back into my local currys tonight to check if they had anymore in as they didnt have on Sunday.New stock in, so took a box up to the counter and mentioned the deal posted on here and showed him receipt from Fridays purchase and he was more than happy to put two more boxes through at £10 each.

Just got one at my local store for a friend (I already have one).

Scanned at £14.99, so I asked about the 'Customer Offer'. They said it was only when you buy a TV, but agreed to put he offer through anyway, so 1 box for £10 - Happy Days :smile:

Always worth asking, and asking NICELY ... :wink:

To answer the Credit Card question, maybe not before but now you HAVE to put in card details to activate a NowTV account, and can't use the box even for the free stuff without an account. I don't think you can even remove a card without deactivating the account. So nice and secure (not) ... and tying you in.

Nothing doing in my local even when I asked to buy two.

Good post OP. I wish I had bothered checking first before I bought a box for £15 at my local Currys store yesterday. I was pretty happy with that deal (cheaper than just paying the £6.99/month fee) but this would have saved me a fiver, which is now lost forever!

iptv subs can be had for around £45 for a year i saw some where

Is the 2 for 20 still on?

1 for £10 offer still on today. Mentioned if he could check customer offers - second option in the list - and chap at tills put it through no questions.

Offer still on. I got 2 for £20 yesterday. Just looking at how to load plex. Does plex give me plug and play (on wifi of course) or do I need to have my laptop running some media server?

£25 how come in Chatham they are asking as much?

This offer is reserved exclusively for 'when bought with' a TV or any DVD players, sounds bars etc. This is what the WBW on the receipt means. This shouldn't have been put through, the offer definitely doesn't work like this.

The 2 for 20 deal isn't on in my local shop. Just 15 for 1.

Anyone spotted this deal anywhere in Scotland?

Reckon these will be a tenner each sooner rather than later.

The v1 boxes went for a tenner.

These can be had everywhere for £15, so much so that threads on here go cold @ 15.

There must be a lot of stock out there, I reckon the supermarkets will be selling these for a tenner by Easter.

Amen to that!, lol.

Here's hoping ..... hehehehehe. :-)

I have the older version of this and I find it as slow as anything
Is this a bit more swift
