When you add now tv 6 month bundle to your basket showing as £19.95. Already this price on the app but showing full price on website until added to the basket, maybe a glitch?
Voucher promotion is also on at the moment. (£50 spend £5 £100 spend £10 worth keeping in mind if you need or are looking at other things in Argos)
Other packages available are:
3 month entertainment package 414/6678 - £14.99
2 month movie pass 424/0251 - £14.99
4 month movie pass 453/6886 - £19.95
All still in stock in most of my local stores in Liverpool.

Don't forget that Now TV are in the process of splitting out the kids channels into a separate pack - here is the email I've had from them
• From today Nat Geo Wild joins your Entertainment Month Pass. And the price of your pass isn’t changing; it still renews at £6.99 a month and you can cancel at any time
• The Nickelodeon and Nick Jr channels will be leaving your Entertainment Month Pass on 21 June and moving to the new Kids Month Pass when it launches
• The Disney Channel will be leaving NOW TV’s Entertainment Month Pass on 21 June due to changes in our rights
• As an existing Entertainment Month Pass customer we’ll send you a four-month trial when the Kids Month Pass is available. After that you can get it for £2.99 a month
More about our new Kids Month Pass coming 21 June
• Six kids channels including Nicktoons & Cartoon Network plus box sets from CBeebies and many more
• A dedicated user experience designed with the help of kids themselves
• Favourites like PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants and Adventure Time on demand
I have a feeling that Now TV is going to move in the same direction as Sky and they will keep adding more packs until the monthly fee for everything will be quite high

you can add it to your account providing you don't currently have an entertainment pass running ( unless you are on the last month of the pass )
You can only have 1 entertainment pass running at a time - you can't stack them so when one runs out it then activates the next ( you have to wait until the first one runs out , then apply the next pass )

Could have bought more but NowTv will only give 1 year voucher assurance against expiration.

31 May 16#181
I find non live (on demand) programmes in HD and live programmes don't look as great e.g. like SD Sky/Virgin.
My TV still states both are 1080. I can see the difference but I don't tend watch live, I tend to choose from the on demand stuff.

You get a leaflet with the code and then open an account online.
Add up to 4 devices that can have the Now TV app working, e.g. I have one black box in a bedroom, one app on the lounge TV, iPhone and a Hudl tablet.
You can only use/watch 2 devices at the same time to prevent Sky being exploited by friends chipping in on the action.
I then sell the spare black box for £7 ish still packaged.
Before the voucher expires, cancel it on the last week. It will let you watch to end date without taking payment.
Apply the next voucher.
I tend to have or use vouchers that are within 12 months of purchase to avoid expiry so don't blame others if you buy 2 years worth and find it not working.
Come home watch and work without being tied in to a contract.
Ideal for unlimited broadband users.

You get a unique 6 month code with each box, so if you bought two boxes you would get 2 codes. The codes are not tied to the boxes, just the account, so you can use one code first and save the other to use after 6 months.
You can also run up to 4 boxes/devices at a time on your account so you can use both boxes straight away.
susa
31 May 16#176
I activate the code to my NOW TV account on line at the NOW TV website. Are you in fact saying if I had activated it via the TV/NOW TV BOX I could then plug the other box in after six months and use the same code again???
skipper68uk1
31 May 16#175
1 code will activate 2 boxes for 6 months. After 6 months activate other code ( if you bought 2 boxes )

Well I've never had Now TV and I've gone from buying one and trying it out which I love! Especially at this price! Works out at £3.33 a month and now I'm buying 3 more
susa
31 May 16#173
When I have a code, I activate it online at my NOW TV account, and when I watch TV it automatically recognises the fact.
If I had 2 boxes, yes I could watch on another TV, but I still don't see for the lie of me how having two boxes would mean I could watch for 12 months using one code??

I've got a current entertainment pass which expires in October. I currently watch 50% entertainment channels & 50% kids channels. I am going to wait until closer to when my pass expires before buying a new one as surely they will bring out more offers if they are splitting the kids channel into a new pack.
I didn't receive any email about a free 4 month kids trial though.
jco83
31 May 161#169
That's what you're confusing. You can use the same account on upto 4 devices, and can watch 2 at the same time. So you setup 1 account, and use it on both boxes.

31 May 16#168
I just don't understand that unless you have two separate NOW TV accounts??

skipper68uk1
31 May 16#165
I think because you have 2 boxes one code will work on both - after 6 months is up enter the other code therefore 12 months
susa
31 May 16#164
Please could you explain how one code can activate two boxes to get 12 months worth?? Do you mean that two boxes run at the same time or one after the other??? Obviously I'm having a thicko day!!

You should cancel in the last month of the pass. The system checks each month for cancellations so if you do it before it will cancel at the end of the month you cancel.

My current voucher expires in August - if i cancel now ( so i dont get charged ) i can still watch all channels on entertainment package ?

Yes pretty much the cheapest way of watching Game of Thrones (legitimately).
No idea about eurosport, didn't realize that anyone watched it to be honest.... Sky sports can be either a daily,, weekly or monthly pass bought on top, but if a monthly then you might as well take out a proper sky sub as it is very expensive.
Zimmy
30 May 16#158
So is this the cheapest way to watch Game of Thrones etc (legally)?
Also can I just use my Xbox 360 with the pass and forget about the Now box? (no HDMI on telly)
Does it have Eurosport or can you only buy the Sky sports pass additionally?
Thanks

Basically, you use the website to register (nowtv.com), or if you're registered, login.
Apply the voucher.
(If you dont want to get charged in 4 months time, at some point you'll want to unsubscribe from the my account page, but you can do this anytime)
Then any device you log into and play out of, just gets automatically added to the list of 4
I use my PS4, LG, Chromecast, Ipad as my 4 devices, for interest.
The only time i get the 2 limit problem is if the kids are watching cartoons on the LG TV, the wife is chromecasting one of her shows, and I decide to try watch sport on my ipad :smiley: - all it does it popup you have too many people playing at once.

When you sign up and it tells you they will charge after the voucher expires unless you cancel so you are aware and hardly a rip off, also you do get an email reminder when your voucher is about to expire and can cancel within the last month of the voucher at any time without speaking to anyone just through the site so anybody with two months charges has brought them on themselves (plus will have had access for a further 2 months)

I got my first box/subscription during 2015's Black Friday, 6 months just ended this week (but I still had an active pass when I got the email), my email doesn't even offer a trial, just a "Hey, you're getting less, and we won't be changing the price." Good job I use prepaid cards from deals like this I guess, can't complain TOO much at £3.33 per month.

Yeah. But when you do the trial just go to the settings on the website and you can immediately disable the renewal so you don't have to. Then you could enter the code whenever you liked if you didn't want to use it straight away.
When I set it up for someone that's exactly what we did.

ST3123
26 May 16#129
Yes, it's extremely vague, I expect they would always simply renew invalid and expired vouchers unless they had a very good reason not to e.g. you had reported expired/invalid codes several times. I expect for the minuscule amount the vouchers/codes cost them, they would rather keep people happy and hence more likely to keep using it...
ST3123
26 May 16#128
They have always streamed in HD, but at 720P rather than full HD 1080P, looks absolutely fine to me though I'd say Netflix and Amazon have the edge in picture quality perhaps because they allow full HD 1080P or maybe they are just more generous with the bitrate....

May I ask how long you've been an exisiting customer? I had the exact same email yet they only offered us a 14 day trial, been using it almost 2 years on entertainment and movies. Literally the only difference it that one bullet point. Mine says: When it launches the Kids Month Pass will be available with a 14 day free trial, and then renews at £2.99 per month.
Grrrr!
ashopaholic123

Don't know how they would actually know what date it was actually purchased as Argos must have them in stock for a while? So can't see how that could work?

26 May 16#123
There's no date actually printed anywhere, but the t&cs state that they are only valid for a year from purchase. Not sure how legally enforceable that would be though!

T&C's
All customers require a NOW TV account to activate the NOW TV Box. 18+. Voucher inside box to redeem your relevant NOW TV pack. New customers simply enter the voucher code at sign up. Existing customers can apply the voucher to their existing account. Voucher expires 1 year after date of purchase. Month Passes automatically renew at end of offer period unless cancelled. Only one Sky Sports Pass can be added to an account at any time. All passes other than that included in your chosen pack sold separately. Savings claims based on the cost of box and relevant content pass if purchased separately.

See nowtv t&cs. I've had to get one 3 month code reactivated which was under 12 months (contained in an old white box I bought cheaply). Just had to provide proof of purchase to nowtv and they renewed the code for me. So now I only keep 12 months of vouchers at a time as a rule

Yes paying for the first month after the trial. But the cashback more than covers the first month, so is really slightly better than free for the first six weeks. As you have 14 days trial at the beginning before paying you can also be sure that it tracked correctly (it used to be slightly better in the past as it was a 30 day trial....).
IronGlaive
26 May 16#110
Remember that codes are only technically valid for 12 months after purchase, so be sure to activate your third within the 11th month to avoid the possibility of any issues (and having to contact nowtv etc)

Each code can be applied to a single NowTV account.
Each NowTV account may have 4 authorised devices associated with it.
Two of those devices may be used concurrently with the same account.
i.e. you can have 4 boxes anywhere (don't have to be in the same house) and can stream content using the pass to any two of them at the same time.

Although I have one reserved I am concerned about their service. I did have it a few years ago and to say their service was intermittent is a huuuuuuge understatement. They tried to blame my broadband however I have never experienced an issue with Netflix, Plex or XBOX Live.
It's all very well saving money each month however if I'm watching the Game Of Thrones finale and I get the generic error message blaming my interment I could explode lol

It's a bunch of Sky channels that are broadcast to you over the internet rather than via a roof aerial or a satellite dish. You can watch them on the Now Tv website or via a variety of devices you connect to your telly, like a Now TV box, a Roku box, games console etc. I didn't really understand what it was until I got one - it's actually really simple to grasp once you get one. And this is a great price to try the service.

If you don't like it then there is no contract and you just don't use it - give it to a friend or whatever!

You are completely correct - apologies for the misinformation.
We never watched live on Sky+ (always recorded stuff) and never watch live on Now TV.
For this usage, with Sky+ you still have to pay the license fee (as you're recording live TV) but on Nov TV you don't.

Once I enter my pass in the now TV box or start the free trial, I can easily turn off automatic renewal and then carry on using new passes right?

Hello. How does NowTV work?
AgentSmith to hasali_786
25 May 16#48
I have it on my phone and tablet. There's nothing complicated about it. They have live TV, shows and boxsets. You just select what you want to watch and stream it like Netflix or Amazon Video. Even easier with a box.

This is a good deal.
I have also cancelled Sky recently after 15 years, and have not looked back.
Now TV gives us most of what we watched on Sky anyways - Game of Thrones, Grey's Anatony, etc.
The retention muppets who call you from Sky are a bit shocked when you refuse their deals, as Now TV is around £5 per month. Sky are offering us to come back to them for "half price" which is around £15 per month.
PS Just make sure you have unlimited internet - we use around 200 GB per month.
PPS You don't need a TV license either 8=}

Ppps... You do need a tv license if your watching any of the entertainment live!!

Another reason for me to cancel Sky, can't grumble at £20 for six months. Reserved ready for collection :smiley:

Many thanks. I was hoping that might be the answer. I don't watch TV much myself and get the NowTV mostly for my son's Nickelodeon and Disney channels.

When your entertainment code finishes in 6 months just cancel the entertainment package and activate just the children's package.

25 May 16#40
I received the same letter. I was just wondering whether there would be any reason I could take just the kids package at £2.99 and not bother with the entertainment pass at all? There dos not seem to be anything that precludes this (that I can see) so perhaps this will actually save me money!
...by the way, this is a good deal (there have been lots like this though, I bought 2 NowTV boxes, each with a 3 entertainment pass from Currys for £15 (for the pair)).

No you can activate both codes, if you activate the entertainment one first they will give you a free trial of the movies then you can add you code get more for your money.

Same just offered me 50% off full package half price multi room and £100 credit to my account but I've said no for the first time in 20 years. Being doing now tv for about 6 weeks and the only thing I'm missing is the planner.

Is it possible to have movies and entertainment on nowtv at the same time or is it one or the other only? TIA

25 May 161#35
They have just made me the same offer, 50% discount for 12 months but i am not interested. I think all the sky rises are to pay for over inflated price they paid for the premiership football.

This is a bargain even with delivery. £42 for 6 months entertainment pass subscription so it's half price. Should order a load really
ma6jrp
25 May 163#27
Also don't forget to get the free 14 trial to start with, then after that apply the codes. If you sign up via TCP or Quidco and pay the first month the cashback will cover that as well so you can get 6 weeks free at the beginning before using one of your codes.
Quidco £12 for movies, £5 for entertainment.
Topcashback £10.50 for movies, £7.35 for entertainment.
(to maximise you should be able to use quidco and signup for a movie trial, and then go via Topcashback to add the entertainment trial! They will slightly be paying you for the first paid for month!).

You can use the same code to activate up to 4 boxes also you can activate it on playstations too. Just save your other code until your subscription is in the last few weeks then add new code and the next 6 months subscription will activate.

25 May 161#17
No I think if you have purchased your code or box with states the children's channels on it you will get it if the code is activated before the date change. You could always phone and clarify before you buy if it's only the children's channels you are interested in but £20 for 6 months of the other channels is well worth it.

Reading between the lines, if you activate an entertainment 3 month or 6 month pass before June 21, will you get the 4 month kid's pass as well? Or was it only for live passes at the point of the announcement?
Treefitty
25 May 161#14
Yeah just read that, still wandering how that affects people that have purchased passes in advance. It does say "we won't do anything that materially disadvantages you during a usage month which you have already paid for" well inhale already paid for them!

25 May 161#13
WHAT HAPPENS IF NOW TV CHANGES THE SERVICE?
From time to time we might make changes to either the Sky Movies Month Pass, the Entertainment Month Pass or the Sky Sports Month Pass service. We'll try not to make changes without notifying you in advance, and we won't make changes that materially disadvantage you during a usage month which you've already paid for (unless it's for reasons beyond our control).
We'll give you notice of changes which are likely to affect you during future usage months – we'll aim to notify you at least 21 days before the start of the affected usage month, so you'll have enough time to stop your Sky Movies Month Pass subscription before the change takes place.
If you don't stop the Sky Movies Month Pass, the Entertainment Month Pass or the Sky Sports Month Pass subscription after we've notified you and before the change takes place, and you continue to use the service, we'll take that as your acceptance of the amended service

Wow, another great deal. I ordered the £12 Amazon with 3 months box, it's arriving today, this would have bene better though!
ashopaholic123
25 May 161#11
Suppose they can because they already have. Doesn't really effect me any more as my kids are bigger but I know what you mean. You should of already had an email from them telling you about it I had one last month. Might be worth you complaining but I think you will still only get the 4 months free trial when it starts but worth a try.
Treefitty
25 May 16#10
Wow that sucks do you think they can do that within the terms and conditions?! What do you have bought the cards in advance like me (I have two years worth) surely they can't go changing it on you after you have bought them
ashopaholic123
25 May 161#9
But with 4 month free trial won't really miss out on this subscription but I know what you mean, after all sky do own it. I recently cancelled sky and I use my sky id to log into the now tv.

Don't forget that Now TV are in the process of splitting out the kids channels into a separate pack - here is the email I've had from them
• From today Nat Geo Wild joins your Entertainment Month Pass. And the price of your pass isn’t changing; it still renews at £6.99 a month and you can cancel at any time
• The Nickelodeon and Nick Jr channels will be leaving your Entertainment Month Pass on 21 June and moving to the new Kids Month Pass when it launches
• The Disney Channel will be leaving NOW TV’s Entertainment Month Pass on 21 June due to changes in our rights
• As an existing Entertainment Month Pass customer we’ll send you a four-month trial when the Kids Month Pass is available. After that you can get it for £2.99 a month
More about our new Kids Month Pass coming 21 June
• Six kids channels including Nicktoons & Cartoon Network plus box sets from CBeebies and many more
• A dedicated user experience designed with the help of kids themselves
• Favourites like PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants and Adventure Time on demand
I have a feeling that Now TV is going to move in the same direction as Sky and they will keep adding more packs until the monthly fee for everything will be quite high
ashopaholic123
25 May 161#7
You are welcome I just keep buying them when on offer for the codes, so I have them when the last one runs out. Remember one code will activate both boxes so that's 12 months worth you have ordered.

25 May 16#6
thanks op, ordered 2 for my kids

25 May 161#5
Yes, of course. It's just a code printed on a scratch off card it is not in any way account specific nor is it linked to the included Now TV box...
simes
25 May 164#4
you can add it to your account providing you don't currently have an entertainment pass running ( unless you are on the last month of the pass )
You can only have 1 entertainment pass running at a time - you can't stack them so when one runs out it then activates the next ( you have to wait until the first one runs out , then apply the next pass )
i_8_spurs

Bought 1 Entertaininment and 2 movie packs.
Could have bought more but NowTv will only give 1 year voucher assurance against expiration.
Was looking at that list a while ago. Hope they will stream 1080. Waits... :smiley:
Looks like they did a deal with Apple :man:
My TV still states both are 1080. I can see the difference but I don't tend watch live, I tend to choose from the on demand stuff.
Add up to 4 devices that can have the Now TV app working, e.g. I have one black box in a bedroom, one app on the lounge TV, iPhone and a Hudl tablet.
You can only use/watch 2 devices at the same time to prevent Sky being exploited by friends chipping in on the action.
I then sell the spare black box for £7 ish still packaged.
Before the voucher expires, cancel it on the last week. It will let you watch to end date without taking payment.
Apply the next voucher.
I tend to have or use vouchers that are within 12 months of purchase to avoid expiry so don't blame others if you buy 2 years worth and find it not working.
Come home watch and work without being tied in to a contract.
Ideal for unlimited broadband users.
You can also run up to 4 boxes/devices at a time on your account so you can use both boxes straight away.
If I had 2 boxes, yes I could watch on another TV, but I still don't see for the lie of me how having two boxes would mean I could watch for 12 months using one code??
Thanks OP.
I didn't receive any email about a free 4 month kids trial though.
No idea about eurosport, didn't realize that anyone watched it to be honest.... Sky sports can be either a daily,, weekly or monthly pass bought on top, but if a monthly then you might as well take out a proper sky sub as it is very expensive.
Also can I just use my Xbox 360 with the pass and forget about the Now box? (no HDMI on telly)
Does it have Eurosport or can you only buy the Sky sports pass additionally?
Thanks
Apply the voucher.
(If you dont want to get charged in 4 months time, at some point you'll want to unsubscribe from the my account page, but you can do this anytime)
Then any device you log into and play out of, just gets automatically added to the list of 4
I use my PS4, LG, Chromecast, Ipad as my 4 devices, for interest.
The only time i get the 2 limit problem is if the kids are watching cartoons on the LG TV, the wife is chromecasting one of her shows, and I decide to try watch sport on my ipad :smiley: - all it does it popup you have too many people playing at once.
You will lose the remote time and time again.
Just log in with the same account to the different boxes.
Apply a voucher to your account on any box - you can then use it on any box you have authorised.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111899017692
When I set it up for someone that's exactly what we did.
HEAT just ordered two.
Grrrr!
All customers require a NOW TV account to activate the NOW TV Box. 18+. Voucher inside box to redeem your relevant NOW TV pack. New customers simply enter the voucher code at sign up. Existing customers can apply the voucher to their existing account. Voucher expires 1 year after date of purchase. Month Passes automatically renew at end of offer period unless cancelled. Only one Sky Sports Pass can be added to an account at any time. All passes other than that included in your chosen pack sold separately. Savings claims based on the cost of box and relevant content pass if purchased separately.
Each NowTV account may have 4 authorised devices associated with it.
Two of those devices may be used concurrently with the same account.
i.e. you can have 4 boxes anywhere (don't have to be in the same house) and can stream content using the pass to any two of them at the same time.
You apply the code to your Now TV account. The box is just one way you could choose to access content with that account :smiley:
Now Tv is Sky!
