Do you get all 9 movie channels ?
merlin48 to yozzman1234
18 Mar 161#5
No it is just access to a movie library like netflix!
calmacuk to yozzman1234
18 Mar 162#6
Yes, you get access to the live channels and the on-demand movies.

Good deal if you don't have Sky Atlantic on your Virgin tv package, get one and use the 3 month pass in time for the new season of Game of Thrones.

Will the channel be in HD??

Thanks for that. I am spending way too much with SKY TV and worked out I am paying £30 a month to watch The Blacklist and GoT lol (long story), saw this, I know you can't record but at a £10 I can get it in, try it and worse case, I have it by my PC.
Any word on whether this box will allow plex to be sideloaded?
miaas
18 Mar 161#13
Erm, yeah you do get all sky movie channels , on demand and live.

18 Mar 16#14
hot.....I have several new boxes it has been cheaper to buy the complete unit. considering sky manufacture these boxes, it's cheaper for me to watch sky movies on this than through sky itself...crazy. download the app onto your tablet and then cast it onto smart or adapted TV. ..brilliant system. you can download apps on the system itself and watch YouTube etc on a non smart TV.

If you can put plex on this , what does that give you ?

a media streamer, you can stream stuff from your network or pay someone else for access to theirs :wink:
jynx88 to yozzman1234
18 Mar 16#20
yes you can put plex on these very easily but the channels on it are very limited and i think it is just 11 or so as the rest are all american but will not work but you could try using a vpn it might work.hope this helps.

Are these the most recent boxes, that are customisable?

Is this better than the white nowtv box? i mainly use it for iplayer etc but find it very laggy
Godspeed to cheeky_chops
18 Mar 161#19
Yes way better. IPlayer is usable again.

18 Mar 16#21
When the pass runs out are all the channels disabled or can you still watch catch-up Freeview TV?
Godspeed to jackiestuff
18 Mar 162#22
Yes the catchup apps still work.

Presumably I could buy a few of these are use the passes consecutively at any point?
gordo1964 to friar_chris
18 Mar 16#27
These passcodes that you buy on some sites (without the box) have an expiry date so I am cautious to buy too many and find out when I use them that they are expired. The ones you get in the nowtv box packs don't seen to have an expiry date - but I may be wrong.

do people sell access to their plex media?
anlygi
19 Mar 16#36
They sell access to Sky's 'live' media :confused:. My mate has it done for 3PM Saturday kick-offs because the FA punish those that pay most to watch Premier League football whilst those outside of the UK get to view them.

19 Mar 16#37
There should be an onslaught of heat if this is the new boxes which easily shift on eBay for over a tenner (including postage), making a pass a couple of quid for a couple of months!
BoB2oo9
19 Mar 16#38
yes.....
also you can sell the code in these box's for easy £8 on ebay making the box about £2-£3 after ebay fees, install plex and hook it up to a server and away you go.

Will i be able to watch game of thrones new season on the entertainment pass?
AstalaVista
19 Mar 162#41
Thanks OP. Ordered one but through AO.com after getting them to price match it.
When I tried to order through shopto.net it asked me for card details even for registration! so I decided not to go thru them. They do not even allow to pay through paypal without giving them card details. So anyone not comfortable to order through them can use the above mentioned route through AO.

Does NowTV work abroad or is it geo-locked like iPlayer?
Semantics, sky are marketing and selling it, so is still strange that they offer the same product cheaper via this route.

Funny of all the apps on my white box BBC iPlayer is totally trash. Is this what we pay good old Auntie Beeb for with License money? Not surprised they come up with a player than needs me to exit the app pretty much every time to play the next episode in the series I'm watching.
dennyb
19 Mar 16#52
Can you use this for Euro sport, hope to watch cycling?
Zahima
19 Mar 16#53
FYI- to use the pass u will have to put ur card details and it will automatically renew.
You can't stop subscription from the settings on the Box - it has to be done on the website. Keep that in mind or if you forget then not worth it.
slipd
19 Mar 16#54
Just checking but the last box I added Plex too was a mk1 - is the setup process still the same?
If so, can anyone point me in the direction of the latest (and final I think?) version to download :smiley:
Thanks.

19 Mar 161#56
Unless you know your facts please don't reply as you are wrong. You get access to live sky movie channels as well as their on demand service. Far superior to Netflix

Looks like I'm getting 2 :/ my order on credit card said it had failed so I put it through on PayPal, just checked my account and looks like it went through on both the credit card and PayPal. Only way of contacting them appears to be by phone mon-fri and it will have been dispatched by then.

I think putting the card details in, refers to setting up a NOW TV account not for buying from Shopto :smiley:

For anyone else interested i just did this also, you have to call them up. Much more comfortable ordering with ao. You can choose delivery date, earliest delivery Tuesday.

I noticed that on their website but thought local stores may have stock.
I've ordered one now either way.

I bought this deal with the 2 month movie pass by mistake, does anyone know if I can swap it for a 3 month entertainment pass please ?
AstalaVista to mummymoment

I doubt they will entertain now as the price has jumped up. But no harm in asking the customer service. As they say you dont ask you dont get!

Guys I have the older nowtv the white one and it's so bloody slow when going through the menus etc
Is this more slick
Or same
calmacuk to Nicolas
22 Mar 16#76
The new one is much faster than the white box.
Spottybutterfly to Nicolas
22 Mar 161#78
I just switched from the white one, the black one actually works for bbc iplayer, no longer do I press pause for it to pause 1 minute later.
Nicolas
22 Mar 16#77
Nice one
Does it have more channels at all?
AstalaVista
22 Mar 16#79
I too changed my white now tv box with the black one i received, and the difference is quite noticeable. It responds very well and plex runs even better with no delays.
Glad I ordered the box and not just the pass (but the initial intention was to just get the pass:3).
Godspeed
22 Mar 162#80
Just for reference, if you're not interested in Plex then you can sideload a USB media player on the black nowtv boxes. Instructions HERE
Mp4's the preferred flavour for video, and nothing too fancy with the audio codec but has played most of my stuff :smile:
Nicolas
22 Mar 16#81
Haha spot on, mine is so slow it's beyond a joke

24 Mar 16#82
Just wondering how people's boxes were sealed when arrived, one of mine was sealed with the usuall now tv sticker (orange entertainment one) but the other only had a clear large circle seal, and on opening the scratch card voucher has some of the silver scratched off, not all of it but enough to see a digit or 2.
I have just applied a voucher so won't beable to see if the voucher works until 2 months time. I'm concerned it won't activate when I try too.

Anyone had any issues with theirs? Mine was fine, watch about an hour of TV on it then unplugged it. Just went to re-use it and the remote control is completely dead :neutral_face:
Any ideas?
AstalaVista
27 Mar 16#85
Mine is working fine. If you have the older box (white one), the remote from it is compatible.
You can always try and reset it if nothing works!

27 Mar 16#86
Think I sorted it, I was messing around with an SD card and I think that was causing it to hang. Removed it and everything was good :sunglasses:
Thanks for the reply though!
