Do you have. Asthma?

Can you get sky movies/entertainment for £55 a year? That's under a fiver a month!

Edit: changed your mind now!

No it isn't illegal ffs!

It isn't illegal to watch any streaming media on the internet - what is illegal is broadcasting the material for people to watch. Get your facts straight!

Buy an Amazon Fire stick for £35, install kodi and a couple of the add ons and you have all the movies and tv shows you could want for free. Once you get used to Kodi you'll never go back to NowTV

Thanks BGB, that makes sense. I'm very pleased with NowTV - was thinking the Mrs would turn her nose up but it transpires that about 98% of the rubbish she watches is available.......

Managed to get the same deal in Leamington Spa.

I did this approach. Thanks.

The guy had to check with his manager, but was given the all clear, so long as the total amount was greater than £50.
Wasn't many cards remaining when I went though.

Thanks OP! :sunglasses:

You can go ahead and credit your first pass now and that will come into effect on day 14. Once day 14 has passed you should log into your account and it will tell you when the pass(es) you have applied will expire. Just make sure that around 48 hours before that expiry date you apply the next pass. To be sure of not getting charged subscription if the date of expiry falls on a weekend or bank holiday I'd credit my next pass on the Wednesday before.

Oh and you don't have to credit passes to each box. Your account is valid for up to four logins. So you can use the same account on two boxes, an iPad app and an Xbox app with just the one pass.

Quick question: I've ditched Sky and signed up with NowTV today for my free 14 day trial (entertainment). I have two boxes, each with six month passes which I intend to use over the next year. How do I actually cancel my subscription so I don't get charged £6.99 p/m at the end of the 14 day trial?

working at Currys Oldham
Currys Rochdale
PC World Bury
but be quick it ends tomorrow 27/4/16

Iv just left Oldham store they have lots in stock. I bought the deal for £55. He said the deal ends in 2 days. He also said that he wasn't ment to put the deal through as you need spend over £50 to qualify for the passes to be £5 each. You can get the passes for £5 each if you spend over £50 on any other item so with getting if you already have a now tv box and need to stock up on them. They don't have a time limit either and can be used on up to 4 devices so can be used on Xbox and mobile or tablets. Great deal much cheaper than sky

Managed to get the same deal today.

Thanks OP

Went into hull Currys this morning, they said they've had a management email that says they can't do it anymore - only 1 voucher card for £5 with £50 tech spend... Oh well!!

I got mine from Pc World Bury. I just showed this deal on here and they said they would do it too.

I asked in the bury store earlier, he said no, so I left.

Just left curry's chichester. The deal is valid until 27/04. You do not need to spend over 50 for it to work it seems. He found the deal and enabled me to get 2 entertainment passes. I have 1 6 month in use at the moment so they would be void if I bought any more. I didn't need to get the box either! Thanks very much op!

I managed to get this deal but purchased more than 12 months worth. Contacted Now TV live chat and asked them for the expiry date on one of the movie and entertainment passes and was told they are both valid from 2/9/2014 expire 31/3/2018

First time post, so please don't shoot me down ;-) - I had also success yest - £55 all-in at Leicester's Fosse-Park branch.

To summarise most/all previous comments, and give some updates:
- Yes, many stores/staff are unware of this 'customer offer', incl. the manager, so do persevere;
- However, once you find that one knowledgeable person in-store, all falls into place;
- Yes, it is a bit if a fuss to find / scan / validate / process but worth it in the end;
- The asistant here was reluctant to vary the mix of passes but I'm sure they can;
- The key point to remember here is getting them to process it as a 'customer offer' - which then drops the 'box price' to £10, and each of the 'passes' to £5;
- Most important: it would appear that no one has noticed the fine print on the back of each voucher: "Voucher must be redeemed within 1 year of purchase otherwise void";
- Therefore, updating the last comment from 'Grange56': "each and every voucher card will be scanned into the till at purchase - to validate the purchase and activate them - so the 12 months definitely starts then";
- I would therefore like to think that the last voucher can be redeemed up to one day short of one year from purchase.

Hope this helps.

None in curry's or PC world on iow :disappointed:

Tried this and got it at York Clifton moor on Friday.
Not quite the same because the assistant wasn't prepared to apply the box reduction to £10 offer as you need to buy a TV first, vouchers reduced to £5 when you buy a box is valid still though.
So a box with 3 months entertainment for £19.95, then 3x3month entertainment and 6x2 month movies for £5 each, totalling £64.95 ain't bad.

only bought 12 months of vouchers as it says on the nowtv site you can only apply each voucher as the one before it is about to end. I know some folk have said you can use them after 12 months but didn't want to risk it. the voucher cards were each scanned into the till at purchase so maybe the 12 months starts then.. who knows. I'll see what offers are on in 11 months time anyway...

Yes scanning each item through and applying the customer offer to each can take a few minutes but you don't need to take it to the main till, any console in the store will do so to don't have a line of folk behind you.

The chappie did mention that it looks like the box's are getting reduced to £5 themselves next week by nowtv, but that offer may or may not arrive he said.
(I know, should've waited to buy the box, but I don't pass by the store very often, and the voucher offer may of ended by then, who knows)

Is this still in stock???

Plenty of good football streaming links under Phoenix, Zemtv, Xo1000sports,and MR Network add ons.

Unfortunately all the dodgy pirate TV/Movie plug-ins will soon sadly see the end of Kodi development....

​Stoke...it's on!

Not doing it at Peterborough. Dont waste your time. Maybe a south of england thing.

Is that Dudley Merry Hill ?

Of course it's legal, just frowned upon, like masterbating on a plane!

I did it today at a store.
Got 8 now tv boxes.
9 movies passes and 7 entertainment passes.

Shame my battery died otherwise I woukd have taken advantage of the o2 priority moments code.
Thanks.op

I have got this deal as I mentioned further up the comments.

You need to be polite, patient and pick someone who looks like they know what they're doing.

I acted vague, did NOT mention anything about seeing it on here and just said my friend had been in a local Currys and got this deal and would they do the same? It helps if you bring everything you need to the counter and mention it before they start scanning it all. It's a faff for the staff to do and if they've had a memo telling them not to then of course you might get pushback. Just try your best and be prepared to get rejected.

People have had success so its not a scam. Lol

Just been into Boston currys and was told by the manager its a scam. Apparently an email was sent out to all stores after a customer got **** he couldnt get it. So why is this getting heat? He said no ones had this deal.

Hopefully you get more success and I can get som more lol

Il try Manchester arndale again today

i was able to buy just the passes for £5 each, no problem. Stoke...Festival Park store, monday.

Appreciate the tip. I went into the Luton ones weds evening and they were the ones who showed me the internal email saying no one is to run the promotion. Think it comes down to luck of the draw on who you chat to instore. Will call ahead and try Milton Keynes today.

+1
I got 1x NowTV box with a 3 month entertainment pass included for £10 (they have an offer button that brings it down from £19.99 then they individually scan the additional cards reducing them with the offer button one at a time.)
6x 2 month movie passes for £5 each (total £30)
3x 3 month entertainment passes for £5 each (total £15)
So everything for £55 in total.

Wasn't easy though, had to speak to a few different people until one could do it. I tried to get just the cards at first but was turned down, they mentioned that NowTV had told them to stop doing it.

I went to the 2 stores in luton and got cards at both if that helps m8. That was weds morning , so not sure if deal is still on

You guys are lucky to be getting this. I'm prepared to take a bit of a drive seeing as neither my local pc world or curry's will put it through.
Has anyone had any luck in the Bedfordshire or Buckinghamshire region?? Would be really grateful if anyone could steer me in the right direction to land this.

So you can do it, but you must leave the room, shut the door, and close the curtains.

It is illegal to watch streaming content unless it is licensed. The argument they give is, when streaming, technically you are downloading. You can't watch without some form of download happening. A smart lawyer can easily win this argument. (They often do have smart lawyers).

However, they not tend to catch people who are streaming illegally, but it is illegal nonetheless.

This is definitely store-dependent, so I'd chance your arm, those of you yet to try and get the deal. I bought 12 months Entertainment and 12 months Movies for £50 earlier today - didn't even have to buy a box. Staff member just scanned the cards, and after a few minutes on the POS I was done. So don't give up if you've yet to make it to a Currys/PC World.

Went to Purley Way croydon on Monday and the deal worked like a charm.
Great deal .... Thanks guys

Just been to Teeside Park and got this offer no problem. The box scanned through at £10 then each card individually for £5 so could of had the box and 12 months entertainment for £25. Took a while for the lady to scan through all the cards as each had to be swiped individually but no issues at all. Thanks op

I have actually tested this over the last 2 nights, trying to watch the footy, using a FireStick preloaded with the Apollo build of Kodi. It isn't perfect, and you have to search through a lot of dead links before you find the game you are interested in. The quality was watchable. For movies it was much better, with decent quality. Tons of other stuff too (categorised music, fitness, yoga etc.). But, IPTV for around £80 may be better for live footy.

​what's plex :smile:

Just use Kodi on an Amazon Fire stick or other Android device connected to your TV. One off cost for the device. No extra costs to stream to it film, tv and sport. All perfectly legal under European legislation.
http://www.digital-digest.com/news-63934-Watching-Pirated-Streams-Is-Legal-Rules-EU-Court.html

I rang up head office to ask if other stores, were doing it, she wasn't sure, so I emailed her a link to this page, but she's not emailed back yet.

Hot got the last 4 in Dudley Store

Just been shown an email sent to all stores stating that this promotion is no longer allowed :disappointed:
Gutted, really wanted this for my sons bedroom.

slough bath road denied the deal even existed. Went to Farnborough Gate and got refered to a manager. He knew all about it and put it through. Only certain cards work with the discount so took a while to find ones that did. No more movie cards left that work. Cheers for posting

Herrbz, if you read back a lot of us have had success.

It's definitely available in any store that has stock providing you find a staff member who's willing and able to do it.

Tried at arndale manchester but they didn't let me have it. Said I had to spend 50 and even if I did she would only allow me 2 passes.

Anyone had any luck anywhere else? Seems like a lone manager who wanted to shift some stock.

After trying Now TV movies, I can't say I'm that impresses. There's a lot of old stuff and very little new content. Anyone else agree?

By whom? Caching is inherently 'downloading'.

I did have a quick look at this and pseudo-streaming i.e. where any part of the data is stored is considered to be illegal. Of course one could immediately clear cache after the browser is closed but the viewer has still done something illegal. Whether it's been prosecuted yet or not does change this fact: if one were to speed and were not prosecuted it doesn't change the fact that one has speeded.

Yes but read the comments above, it's not a promotion it is the manipulation of a much lesser promotion. I have got it myself but requires gift of the gab, persistence, a few trips to different locations and a lot of luck. People above have posted there stories and pictures above so have a look but as each day passes the likely good of success is less I'm afraid :disappointed:

Has anyone actually bought one of these? I couldn't find it anywhere so I called customer services and spoke to someone from sales, she denied it exists and said they definitely do not sell any bundles for 12 months anywhere!!!!! Typical I wanted to buy one.

Hi everyone
Got this yesterday evening from Currys Blackpool. The Now TV box had 2 months movies free so I bought 5 2 months Sky Movies passes and 4 3 month entertainment passes. Each of those passes were £5 and were from a stand on the counter. The stand did say they were only £5 if you bought £50 of other merchandise but that wasn't the case.

Had to talk the guy through it but he was very patient and helpful.

Just tried in my local again and same guy who did mine yesterday said they have had a memo to stop doing it. Not sure if it's true (he maybe just can't be bothered to run it through again) but that's what he said.

They are the ones you have to scratch .. bought me a few of these Black Now TV Boxes already from last year still, at around the Black Friday long weekend!, lol, when they were selling a load of the 3 Months Entertainment ones as well as 2 Months Movie ones for only £15 each!. :-)

And its definitely a scratch card job ..... lol.

Ps.
Go onto Now TV and get your 2 Weeks FREE Trail in of either the Entertainment Package, or the Movie Package, etc, before then wasting your 12 Months worth of Codes via this Boxed Package?, or ..... (food for thought that, huh?, hehehe), lol. :-)

I hear you, thanx for that. :-)

went to PC world in Manchester arndale. askedba guy if the offer is on and showed the pic from here. he's said not sure buy will scan it all and see. went through fine. 55 quid for 12 months . not bad. he did say if I can stack vouchers to come back and get some more vouchers. buy looks like you can't stack so they will run out if not used.

Goodmayes didnt honour the deal. I got from Romford Currys (off the A12)

Got told by Now TV on Chat, that vouchers last 2 years but can be replaced

I went to the teeside park currys/pc world and I get this offer no issues what so ever, the guy that I spoke to said he know about the deal and just put it all through the till.

the question is do you use all of the vouchers all at once, or use it wait for it to run out and use it another?

OP .. for your first Post, you like proper smashed it!, hehehehe. :-)

Just got this deal from romford curry's. Thanks OP

Farnborough Gate worked for me this morning :-) , the guy knew immediately what I was after and mentioned someone had been in yesterday

You can see what programmes or films that aren't available on Now TV here:

http://nowtv.com/slating

There are hardly any programmes that aren't available on Now TV nowadays though. When it first launched, an awful lot of stuff wasn't available, but that isn't the case any more.

I've been considering NOWTV for a while.

What would I miss out on if I were to ditch SKY for this? I know I won't get HD but my main concern is how quickly NOWTV get the new shows, is each episode available pretty much as soon as they have aired on SKY or do you have to wait until the season ends?

EDIT

Also, would I have access to previous seasons or only the most current?

Spoke to Now Tv and as long as i keep the receipt the card wouldnt run out....

Went into my local Currrys and they don't have it. Shame as that's great value.

This is not a uk advertised deal.

You have to spend £50 or more on one product then you can have the now tv box and cards reduced to make £55.
So it'll be £105 including whatever you buy to get the deal

If you look at the back of the gift cards you'll see you only have 12 months to use them. Unless you sell them on they'll be worthless this time next year.

Yep Currys have pulled the offer but Pc World have honoured it. Got mine this morning :wink:

Good intentions and all but now due to this the deal has been changed. It wasn't online due to it being an in store promotion. But that promotion as stated in other stores was that you had to spend £50 to get 1 nowtv card for £5. They clearly found a way to give us a better deal in that Trafford centre store. But now thanks to this it has been removed from what I can see and have been told in store.

just went to Milton Keynes . Took along time but honoured the deal....(got 12 movie cards and 6 entertainment , with 2 now tv boxes) , but manager did say had just received a call to stop any more.
Perfect start to day , now have 4yrs of each.... lol



Now the question i have is can i return any of the now tv boxes ?

Worth trying again if you not used the story, I got mine in a store I got told no yesterday but I used the story. Woman who said no yesterday was stood right next to him lol

Other store as you say we just a right jobsworth who wasn't interested.

Go for the more casual looking guy I say, someone down to earth who look ls like they been there a while like a supervisor but still quite young so understands how to play the system. That's what my guy was but not management or anything.

Anyone found out yet if this original deal is nationwide, or just local??

Well just called in Pc World and showed them this offer and asked are they doing the promotion too. They said yes. I got all of the above for £45 but with 1 less movie pass as they had run out. Still buzzing though. Thanks for posting.

​Always one douchebag! It's owned by sky, but it's an alternative to paying for pay. Use your brain

Went in Bury for this deal. They said the deal has been pulled and will not honour it.

easy, I just bought 6 movie passes for £5 each, no quibble no need to buy a box either! well happy as cards say £15 each!!!

Jobs worth at Alvis Retail Park, Coventry won't allow it. Has anyone tried the Bagginton store?

Hi guys, just been in store and done this, hopefully this helps as it's far from straight forward... it's not a promoted deal at all, more of a glitch! It's not a case of it not being available in some branches... you just need to take the items to the til yourself and tell the operator what to do, as they won't know about it!

Basically take the below to a till...

1 x now tv box with 3 months entertainment pass included (orange box)

3 x £15 entertainment passes (3 months each)

6 x £15 sky movies passes (2 months each)

Note, the colour of the cards can vary, so go on the price and type (movies etc)

At the till say "my friend said this all comes in on a special offer. He said after you can each one there is customer offer that takes the cards down to £5 each, then the box down to £10".

Whoever is on the checkout will then have to try various offers on the cards and box but should eventually get it for £55. It might take 5 mins so expect some grumpy looks from those in the queue behind, but who cares I've just got a years worth of sky tv for much less than I was paying a month! Thanks op!

That's pretty damn good. Bargain if youre looking to cut the chord from sky and go with this option.

Cached data isn't seen as downloaded, it isn't a permanent copy, besides nobody has actually been prosecuted for directly downloading a file despite it being deemed illegal, only file sharers have.

worked in 2 branches in luton today

Strictly speaking, if the stream ever buffers i.e. you've cached/downloaded part of the content then that's illegal.

[/quote]You can use up to 4 different devices with any 2 of them streaming at any one time. That said the Humax is a very slow and clunky player.[/quote]


Only just realised after reading this thread that my 'you view DTR-T2000' has a 'now tv' app (maybe a recent addition) ---- streaming from the humax is excellent,i must admit the remote can be described as clunky but i can only recommend the player itself.

It has nothing to do with getting away with it! You consider walking down the street as getting away with it because that is just as illegal as streaming from the web!

In terms of parroting, it was simply the first link that I found, so not parroting at all.

The finding of the court is not actually quite as clear and unambiguous as you think.

"If the user only views it directly through a web browser, streaming it from a website that hosts it, he or she is apparently doing nothing wrong"

Not the use of Web browser only.

Many addons do not utilise the functionality of a Web browser and therefore their use would be deemed illegal in such circumstances.

However you look at it though, if anybody actually think that viewing copyrighted content for free, without intention of paying for it, as would be intended by the copyright holder, then it does say something very apt about the moral compass under which they operate.

Just as much of the tax avoidance issues, which may be deemed legal, do not sit well with those who operate a reasonable moral compass.

Just because there is a loophole that makes something legal, does not make it right.

The higher EU court has of course been petitioned by the CJEU, so we may well yet see the original judgement overturned.

And you consider the odds of getting away with something a justification to do so?

buglawton, the FilmOn app at that link works fine (for now) though. I'd love to get TVPlayer working and even a method to allow pro users to user their subs, but that's a choice TVPlayer have made by hardening their security hashes.

Refused in goodmayes curry's too. Will try romford tomorrow

- Refused in central Birmingham, they said its initial £50 spend before any discount.

- Worked in Merry Hill.

Has this worked in Manchester City centre?

You can ask him yourself, the dev is a member on here!

By the time I'd added the private channel, TVplayer had blocked it on the Roku.
I'm assuming there's a more relevant forum about this, where I could express my opinion to TVplayer that I'll not be using their service in any shape or form until it's on my Roku.
Saying that, I can understand them not wanting the advertising bypassed. Could be they are just not ready for streaming boxes - they need to present ads before you stream and have never bothered to think it through.
And no doubt Roku's Ts&Cs may have been broken since they cover everything imaginable.

Anyway oUkTuRkEyIII you've demo'd the proof of concept and put the ball in TVplayer's court, there's no cost or tech reason for not allowing the Roku, but they want to be the dog in the manger for the time being.

Not available at Oxford Street branch

Sorry to sound dumb, but I have a humax youview which has nowtv! on. I've never used it, but do I also need this box and voucher codes? Or can i just watch Nowtv via Humax using codes? :confused:

Try Silverlink. I just got the deal there for £55, without spending the initial £50. The staff hadn't heard of the deal, but agreed to scan it through and see what happened. Bingo! They even reckoned that the way the codes stack mean this is likely a year-round deal :confused:
Thanks for the tip, Motomix, this is a blinding deal. All sorted for GoT now. :innocent:

tried and was in the process of getting the deal when the manager came order and stopped it!

went to one currys, was told it wasn't on and anyone who did it would lose their job. went to another and it worked. get them to scan the box and say that the cards should go through at a 5er each. thanks op!

Thank you & sorry for being such a newb!!

Sorry I'm a newbie for pics & posts

You can't upload images directly from your system on here. You have to use a third party host like postimg.org then copy and paste the link into the comment.

This deal is easy to achieve - the NowTV box discounts down to £10 from £20 & the cards down to £5 each at any store - I have literally just got back now (Telford) & you can see my pictures as evidence...

The in-store operative / assistant doesn't need senior approval (i.e. a Manager); he/she just needs to check the Customer Offers button as each item is scanned in - on the terminal - and the pre-determined discount is readily applied and needs no further approval.

Each card discounts down to £5 & the NowTV box to £10 ... totalling £55

I was mainly on about films that say are currently not released :smile:

Cheers this might do for me, only want it for game of thrones

Thanks to the people who replied to my querie about GoT, iPad is being rubbish and won't let me like or quote.

Went into Curry's Friern Barnet and they refused to do this deal for me, I showed them the posts and they showed me the Now TV terms for the offer and it clearly says what you can and can't buy as the 'tech' as part of it. They said stores would get into trouble if they'd done it. I did wonder about buying something for £50 and then returning it??

It's an obvious point, but Sky's point of view, they don't want all their lucrative monthly Sky Sports subscribers disappearing, so they've priced the NOW TV sports prices accordingly - they want to attract new customers, rather than have existing customers abandon their Sky subscriptions and become occasional NOW TV customers.

Thanks, I'll have to look into it. We mainly use it for the rugby league so would need it regular during the season which I imagine would be expensive

I've been desperately wanting to leave sky as costing £60 a month, but don't want to lose sky sports . Does anybody know if I got now TV if I could still get access to sky sports? Thanks

Worked in Guildford - they didn't know about it but it worked when the box then the cards were swiped. Alas they seem to think the deal is reliant on the blue and green cards only - not many in stock.

I watched the on demand versions during breakfast. Vinyl which recently was also simulcast in the mornings has been available by 3:30am every week.

thanks for messages, my son has xbox one in his bedroom...any good for Nowtv! stuff?

Not really. Ive had one and no difference in terms of being unresponsive as compared to my Sky. It freezez maybe once a fortnight other than that its cool. Plenty of ebay sellers.

This month will be my first month that I've been subscribed to the entertainment package during GoT, after the late night/ early morning broadcast does it go on to the on demand bit or is it just the 9pm broadcast to view it again?

Thanks for the link, that's really handy! I've just bought 4 of the boxes with 3 months ent package for a tenner each from Currys after trying my luck with the 2 for £10 deal posted here a few weeks ago.

Don't apologise incase you've done something wrong! You've done a good thing sharing in the first place

Went along to local Curry's and nothing available or even known by the staff :disappointed:

Might try again because it's such a good deal, but not looking good here.

Sorry to sound dumb, but I have a humax youview which has nowtv! on. I've never used it, but do I also need this box and voucher codes? Or can i just watch Nowtv via Humax using codes? :confused:

There is no phone number to call and they can take a good guess based on the serials. And as this thread is about the gift cards I've already explained how those are limited to 12 months through the activation at the till.

So are we saying that i have to wait for my current subscriptions expire before applying these?

Yet to secure the deal but will go hunting later.

I have not got one of these boxes, but, as has already been mentioned in this thread, firstly, they have no idea when you purchased the passes, and, secondly, if they ever did run out, all it takes is a phone call.

I don't think box ones expire, the last one I used was purchased in July 2014, had two and used one in Dec and one thus month. I suspect they have two years + shelf life. Gift cards if the data goes back to sky, might have a shorter life as you described.

Well I have to disagree on that. I've tried streaming the football on various devices (including my desktop PC with an ethernet connection) both here and at a friends with internet speeds at 7 and 20mbps and still have loads of issues with the streams buffering. Most of the time they get worse as the games progress (possibly due to more and more people leaving other poor streams and coming over to that one) and have frequent issues, often making them unwatchable. I've tried various different builds and all the addons that they have (probably tried about 30ish).

I've also tried to optimise kodi through Ares Wizards settings.

So if you've a magic cure or an addon that works when the others fail? Please post it up on here and I'll happily try it out.

Brilliant, got this working today!

Passes which come with boxes also have an extra months to allow for time stuck in the warehouse / shop floor, however the gift cards are activated at time of purchase setting the expiry time then. If you buy the cards from Game you only get 6 month!

went into my local store, this deal is not available and the manager had no clue about it either :-(

Can't stack, can only apply on the last month before the current card one expires

No offer in Old Broad St London branch

Nope, mine are still going strong 18 months after purchase. Just used one last week and that was purchased in July 2014

Isn't that just that they need to be applied to an account before then? As in you could still stack over 12 months if you had enough cards?

The card says "must be redeemed within 1 year of purchase otherwise void". Well that doesn't say they can't stack for longer than 12 months on your account.

The passes have a 12 month expiry from the date of purchase, you wouldn't be able to use any more.

None in my local currys

Yeah, I just tried two stores and managed to get it in the second store.

The first one didn't have these 2 month and 3 months cards but had newer, longer duration cards which didn't work when they tried to scan them through.

The second store I went to, she just started scanning through the cards and it worked so she just kept scanning. I got 6 x 2 month movie cards and 5 x 3 month entertainment cards plus the 3 months with the box.

I could have bought every card they had and she wouldn't have minded but I didn't as I figured I'd leave some for someone else.

That said, I don't really want these movie ones. I'd much rather more entertainment pass cards. Should have stacked them instead.

Anyone else who got the deal, fancy swapping some movies for some entertainment?

Compared to a paid of service Kodi is absolutely dire these days - too many users overloading the servers because they bought a cheap stick or box all with the same add-ons installed. I've used XBMC since the original XBox days but now I don't bother with it - if you want a reliable service you have to look elsewhere these days.

Thanks Blotch, appreciated guy I spoke too was a bit of an idiot tbh.

If you get a second and can upload a snap of your receipt it would be much appreciated as really want this and I will go for third time lucky :smile:

Where was that ? Can you post a quick snap of receipt? Just tried another store and was a no go :disappointed:

Just remembered I have 4 normal Roku boxes, so added this to them through the app store. Hopefully see what its like when I get home :smiley:

Don't bother, just buy an Android box and get all the free movies you want via Kodi.

New boxes out soon, with digital tuner.

Just got this deal in my local store, it wasn't advertised but I showed staff this thread and they did it for me - took them a while looking up codes etc on the system.

I leave sky on Friday. This is an amazing deal!!!

@AdamBrunt I have a cracking internet connection and movies are great on Exodus. Live TV is also good but free Sports streams are always oversubscribed and break up or freeze. What do you use for sport?

This is the first benefit I've seen for staying in the EU :stuck_out_tongue:

Please note!
Now TV isn't (1080) HD and has no Dolby Surround. It'll look and sound worse than BBC 1.
Great content, very cheap but poor quality :disappointed:

Kodi is not flakey at all for watching live sports - if it is for you then you either have poor internet connection or using poor add-ons.

Buy an Amazon Fire stick for £35, install kodi and a couple of the add ons and you have all the movies and tv shows you could want for free. Once you get used to Kodi you'll never go back to NowTV

So is this a confirmed deal or has only the OP manage to get?
Not much discussion of the actual deal (as in how many have got it). Lots of heat if it is available at multiple stores, if it was the last couple of boxes at one store not so much.

Anyone with a receipt care to share a picture to try and add pressure in store? :smiley:

not as good a deal, but argos have 6 months incl a box for £30.00

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Now-TV-Box-6-Month-Entertainment-Pass-/351641604131

and instore...

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4590602.htm

Rarflix gives you Plex on it.

Oops misread your post, ignore...

Not for the NOW TV boxes. The Roku Media Player which comes with the Roku boxes will play via DLNA, and there are a couple of apps in the Roku store which claim to do it better, but I've tried hunting for code to write my own and not had any luck.

Im sure I read somewhere. that the now tv boxes. Have wifi could someone. Help please.? Thank you in advance

How is the image quality if I want to buy it to watch game of thrones? Is it comparable to Netflix?

Any ladies want to Now TV and chill with me :smile: ? Doesn't seem to have same ring to it as Netflix and chill or the associate euphemism :wink:

Anyone got this in London yet?

Great price would be rude not too. :man:

No 'Masterchef Australia' on NowTV (WATCH isn't on the channel list!!). This is my only gripe . . .

I guess is luck of the draw.
As others have mentioned, some stores are doing it regardless of the £50 spend.

Good luck.

Sorry, I mean picture quality and it is 400 something (?) stated on screen not 720 like it states when I switch back to sky channels. I know techies are reading this so hope I can get some advice

Poor quality box running from a overloaded server usually = waste of time!

Tried Bangor, Co. down store this morning and no luck, offer not on there

Hmmm maybe I should go back for another go :wink:

Ask FACT how many people they have successfully prosecuted for viewing webstreams - the answer is zero! The only folk who have ever been successfully prosecuted have those who used p2p services who by default were sharing the media.

openbox v8s. :smiley: with a 24 month gift included. £50 cant go wrong

TO ALL ASKING IF IT'S NATIONWIDE

I went to my local currys (St Helens), didn't see this deal anywhere but showed this thread to one of the employees who told me as soon as he read the title "yeah, we do have it"
Picked an entertainment box and 3 more entertainment vouchers, also 6 movie vouchers. He had to run them through the computer one by one and had to apply the promotion to each one but in the end it came to £55 in total.
So it may be nationwide, but if you don't see it in your local, ask an employee.
He applied a promotion through their computer to all these vouchers.

What they did have on display was 12 months movies + box for £35.

Hope this helps!.

:smiley:

I've just got same deal in Warrington

Wonder how long nowtv/sky can keep this up for, meaning all these cheap voucher deals. Surely they know it's going to affect their core business meaning sky.

Great find! heat added thanks :wink:

yea basically its up to the person you speak to if they do it, its not supposed to be done as there are terms and conditions but the tills allow it outside the terms

Um, of course, as you need to spend over £49.99...I was not stating it works in relation to this deal (clearly a local deal that has now expired) but does work on itself, so no need to purchase additional items.

Several stores are allowing this deal just ask can you have the cards at a fiver with a now TV box rather than spending £50. Dont ask, don't get.

guys just been into trafford centre and this deal has now finished!

only one discount applies if you add multiple cards so no

NOW TV 2 Month Movies pass on website


Save £10 off the marked price when you buy with selected tech products over £49.99. Enter code NOWTV5

Products include TVs, laptops, desktops, tablets, cameras, speakers, Blu-ray players, home theatre kits, home phones, games consoles or headphones. (see product pages for further details). Add the Movies or Entertainment pass to your basket and enter code NOWTV5 at checkout. Not available in conjunction with any other offer. Hurry, offer ends 27/04/2016.

I have no use for them so yes.

For anyone looking for this deal instore

Currys have an offer advertised at the cashdesks where you can buy a 2 month movie pass or 3 month entertainment pass for £5 when you spend £50 instore, the now tv box with 3 mth entertainment is on a wbw deal for a tenner, what this store are doing are playing the system and putting everything through at the wbw prices, that is why its not advertised anywhere or online

You looking to flog the boxes?

Couldn't see in store at London Barbican

Anyone tried Beckton London, Chadwell heath or Lakeside Essex please?

So this is only a local deal?

Not in my local store (scunthorpe)

I do this with a mate who lives nearby. We buy the boxes for the passes when they're on offer (got 10+ in the loft) and share the device allocation so it usually works out at less than a fiver a month each for both Movies and Entertainment.

Not on display and asked at desk, she checked online no joy :disappointed: . Said potentially local deal only as they have done something similar in the past. Apparently they have local NOWTV reps and they do promotions on store.

And? I went past too early so couldn't check :disappointed:

The interpretation that it's legal over steps what the judgement actually says: https://gigaom.com/2014/06/05/you-cant-break-copyright-by-looking-at-something-online-europes-top-court-rules/

Going to get down at 9am and find out. To good to miss :smiley: wish me luck! Lol

On their website they have a massive sale which ends at midnight. Is this shop only deal only available today??

Over 1k votes but might end up being a local deal

Great deal, heat

I wish!

​*sigh* It really isn't. Did you even bother reading the court judgement? It's been two years since this was all decided, it baffles me people are still making up these nonsense (and wrong) interpretations of the law. What facts are you basing your opinion on?

​It depends whether you are the originator who is obtaining the content and redistributing it - that may well be illegal.

But watching the streamed content is definitely legal in the EU (or, if you prefer, not illegal).

​That carefully doesn't say it's illegal. It says it's theft, which is quite different. Either way, instead of parroting the deliberately misleading words of the shill of the content industry, isn't it easier just to read the dozens of articles that repeat and analyse the very clear and unambiguous finding of the court?

You can only sideload one app at a time unfortunately.

A quick question - I have a panasonic 47as650 (thought I'd add this info as someone may ask!) love nowtv for cheap films but the quality is not as good as the sky channels that I've kept - should it be?

Agreed.
I'll have to Google plex as well.

Judging by the poster it looks like it's nationwide. Even if the poster was made up, it's probably a bunch of other offers bundled together, there's no real 'manager's specials' in Currys.

No, I'm on BT

Wow, time to hop on the trusty deal goose to my nearest Currys!

(Seriously hot if you can find it though!)

Not according to this

http://www.fact-uk.org.uk/types-of-content-theft/

For the trial you're on did you have to switch isp and phone provider?

Yes you will need the sideload launcher and sideload it onto the Shield. The app doesn't give you any options on the Shield either which is odd because it does with every other Android device I've installed it on but it works perfectly well.

Thanks for that. I have just got a shield, so may give it a go. I am just reading through the large thread here, do I need to sideload?

Nope, the add ons (they are not apps) are perfectly legal. There's nothing illegal about watching any stream be it movie, sport or otherwise - the only time it does become illegal is if you save the stream to a drive. British copyright law is an ass.

May I add one thing to your comment of legality, as the internet has no point of origin and you can get away with streaming US TV shows. Where it gets very unclear is the streaming of films! this is the one people can argue with & this in not legal. It has been brought up many times and using kodi is not illegal but ceratin apps are likes of sports devil & phoenix, basically anything that show live subscription channels (I have a box but dont use it for live TV). I pay for sky much to my irritation as my wife and son watch it more than me.

I have an app on my LG and an APK for Android devices - works on NVidia Shield, Amazon fire TV sticks and boxes as well as tabets and phones. You can also use a MAG box and Kodi but I've not tried those.

Doesn't work, states channels not available,

Do you still use a client like KODI for IPTV?

Sooooo... after traipsing through all this discussion, I still don't know if this is national or not

And another. That's the only real question as the deal is a deal whether you go for it or not. I would like to know if I can get one elsewhere.

Can anyone confirm if this is nationwide? Thx

I'm assuming you can't get this and sideload plex on the same device?

Thanx for that.

And thanx too OP. :-)

nice find!

​Would love to know more about this IPTV please...
£140 for all that sounds very attractive.

This might be a managers in store promotional item, as I can't see this on the currys website

I've got iptv for sports. That's perfect. Got a plex server account too. Also share a Netflix account. So generally covered but if I can do a deal for now tv then bonus. Do I really need it, probably not lol but this is hukd. Where you buy stuff you don't need. :smirk:

Go private, my IPTV costs £140 per year but I have around 810 channels, many in HD and my Plex is £28 and I've over 5800 movies and 1200+ boxsets nitbto mention American shows available before they show over here.

I wouldn't mind sharing a now tv account with someone and split the costs. It allows 4 devices so 2 devices each would suit. Anyone willing to accommodate? Thought I'd ask. Cracked accounts are easily obtained but would rather not go down that route.

Aye, moved to iptv ages ago. That's what it's all about now. Though even that's getting popular.

also binned sky this week. got BT for TV/broadband for £38 pm then £4 pm for now tv entertainment. was paying over £110 pm for TV/broadband previously.

ref kodi. can we very Hit/miss. sports can be but decent sports streams seem to come/go. movies. seem slightly. better.

Are the sky box sets available on the entertainment package on now tv, right?

The black box has a Micro SD card slot along with Ethernet and USB ports.

There's a new now tv box? Lucky you for getting the trial. Built in free view is awesome. Let the battle of the set top boxes commence.

is this deal just store specific not really interested in firesticks or kodi just the deal

I thought the vouchers expired after a particular duration (6 months?) so how can they carry on for up to a year, or have Sky changed the conditions?

No it isn't illegal ffs!

It isn't illegal to watch any streaming media on the internet - what is illegal is broadcasting the material for people to watch. Get your facts straight!

Has anyone actually found this offer anywhere else?

Thanks OP :smile:

That's right, using it on my white Now TV box now. 32 channels available, not quite as many as the 'real' Freeview but certainly enough to satisfy. Including Dave, Really, Yesterday, Travel Channel etc. You have to be prepared to endure the large 'FilmOn' logo in the top right though.

It is illegal.

Using Kodi on its own is legal.

Using the different servers or add-ons available to stream or download copyrighted content for free is illegal.

Nice find and I assume this means that a Roku box say in the bedroom could watch live TV no aerial needed, which is a biggie.

Might be a silly question here as I'm no tekkie but can't you side load both? I just put plex on mine last week but haven't got it up & running yet.

*sigh* It's not illegal.

Err, actually it's totally legal in the EU. This was confirmed by the European Court of Justice in 2014. There are tons of reports on this, for example :

http://bgr.com/2014/06/05/streaming-movies-and-tv-shows-for-free/

Don't just repeat what you hear.

Up to three at the same time if you add sports to that. Anyone can confirm that it is available online?

I didn't think you could use movies and entertainment passes at the same time.

​ err its totally illegal lol

I've watched some stuff in 4k

Seriously?

Besides the legality the quality on a NowTV box is far better than the often dire Kodi streams, I honestly don't know how people can enjoy watching films in lower than SD quality. Even the HD streams are no better than 720p half the time.

To mark_ed thank you very much. I bought the black box last week but I didn't. Have a cable. So iv ordered. one

I thought it was only illegal if you downloaded/stored the content and/or shared the material? Isn't just watching the streaming content alright?

Do you mean the freeview terrestrial channels (BBC iplayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and Demand 5) ? Or other additional freeview channels? Because I've used both the white & the black NOW Tv boxes and neither have required an aerial to view the catch-up or live material on those terrestrial freeview channels.

Can I ask how do you watch HD varients of the freeview channels?

At the moment it has the same ui as the black box, but with an extra section for freeview which is via an aerial. The only other thing I've noticed is an SD slot and that the unit is bigger than I expected.

Voted hot, I currently have Sky at a reduced price, but when price is due to go up in August I will be cancelling my subs a month before.
I have 2 now tv boxes in my house and a couple of unused 3 month passes, so I will be starting to use them again.
I might look to buy one of these as my boxes are the old white ones and I heard that the black versions are supposed to be better.
Heat added

And NowTV doesn't have subtitle facilities. Or at least it didn't when I had it... so moved to Amazon Prime and Kodi

Can you give us any info what other new features are on the new box? Thks

Great price. Remember to go via Morrison's for the £50/5p a litre off fuel.

Remember audiophiles. Now TV is only stereo sound. No 5.1 or Dolby Digital. Still a good deal.

Thanks, up and running on my white Now TV box and running great. A little slow when changing menus but this is because the white box is a lot slower than the black one.

I have Sky downstairs, but am so glad I can now watch Dave upstairs on my spare telly. Have an aerial but it can only receive very few Freeview channels.

The FilmOn logo in the top right is a little large for my liking, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

is this national? can anyone confirm?

I have TV player on a couple of my Now TV boxes. I'm currently using the new Now TV box on trial which has freeview built in. It works really well and upgrades my TV so I can get the HD varients of the freeview channels. Hot deal, it's a similar price to what I pay per year for both entertainment and movies after I've sold my stock of Now TV boxes I've collected from Amazon deals.

same problem for me too, but if you could live with 2 boxes under your TV maybe keep your existing setup and then sideload this TVplayer app on the second box that you would then have from this deal

Is the menu system as good as sky?

excellent deal. going to head to Trafford centre tomorrow now and see if I can pick one up

Looks like I would miss out on Universal and Alibi, that might be an issue.

This would be great if I wasn't already sideloading plex!

Real Bargain. You get 4 Entertainment 3-month + 6 Movies 2-month passes. So it averages £5.5/pass, that is the cheapest ever.

I've just cancelled sky and moved fully to NowTV can get entertainment and movies for about £11 a month (go through options online to leave and they offer for cheaper per month).

Shows are either live or when you want.

Works for me as the only channels we watch are the ones offered on the entertainment package and I rarely watch live TV anyway.

Now saving myself £32 per month, probably more through offers like this for NowTV.

4 devices on one account, but with a max 2 devices able to access the Sky content at the same time.

would the passes be applied to your account rather than just the box, so you cann watch it on other platforms?

Nice!

Brilliant ,what a bargain

Read it wrong. Read above.

Can you get sky movies/entertainment for £55 a year? That's under a fiver a month!

Edit: changed your mind now!

Ignore that :smile: heat added.

Wowser bite my arm off.

Bargain!
