They're taking the kids channels out of the Entertainment one and starting a new Kids pack, just a heads-up if you wanted to get this for the kids channels.

Still waiting.......

How do you know this? Will it be a HD 1070p or whatever it is plz?

Asked nicely at Currys Birmingham for a price match & got it.

If someone wants to to sell me a black box for p&p, pm me please.

​Thanks

yes 100%, it's what we have been doing since last year :smiley: bbc iplayer, itv, 4OD are the main ones I use......

Try five month pass for £25 at currys. No box.

Not tried Now TV...... Would this allow me to watch 4 months worth of Formula1 GP live as if it was on Sky, or is it just for films?

Oh, and thanks OP, picked up 2 today in Stafford. A colleague broke her foot the other week so I'm going to give her one of the boxes and connect it to my plex server to keep her occupied.

The new one doesn't seem that great a jump to me, certainly not interested in the freeview side of it.

Collected mine from Elk Mill Oldham today. Thanks OP

So if the new one isn't out yet that makes this the latest so how is that misleading or are you just having a grumpy day today?

What broadcast TV do you watch that's better resolution then....?
SkyHD/Virgin and Freeview HD are all still only 1080i which you'll likely see as no better quality than the 720 progressive output of the NowTv box

Misleading saying "Latest NOW TV box" As there is a new NowTV box being released at the end of this month.

This will also be why these ones are being sold off so cheap. The same thing happened this time last year with the v1 white boxes to get rid of left over stock.

Silly question what happens to the box once the subscription runs out? Can I still use all the apps?

Showing up as insufficient stock when you add this product to your basket for collection, even when it has three left ?

Deliberate locked ​Poor resolution at 720p. Going back to ancient times when TV had poor picture quality.

Good deal. No Home Delivery option available for me though, and it says my nearest store is out of stock and the next nearest store I can Click and Collect is 30 miles away... so I won't be getting this.

​Thanks so much for the heads up. It prompted me to Google for more info. The Now TV Kids Pass will be launched on the 21st June 2016, so not long to go now :smiley:

​well Now TV box is 1080p capable but the Now TV services only stream at 720p. If the resolution is a consideration for you, then a Sky subscription would be a more expensive but better fit for you. Don't know much about EE so can't comment on that. Also Now TV isn't really for News channels. Sports yes, but consider the resolution of the broadcast and see if that's an issue for you.

Good deal but I wish Now TV would broadcast in 1080p rather than 720p. They made this box 1080p capable but still only broadcast at 720p.

Thanx for that, there's a Forum Page out there somewhere that runs you Step By Step through that right?.

Do you happen to know of that link?, thanx. :-)

A Maplin deal? You don't see that often, considering the exorbitant prices they usually charge.

Top tip - if you just want the pass and don't need the box, buy the voucher from eBay. Just got 6 months entertainment for £19 and he emailed me the pass.

Two left in Reading, got one :smiley: Thanks OP!

Don't need to order 10 as I already have 10 that I can't shift from the £10 Shopto deal.

I've got the latest release on a black box. It's a pretty dated interface and nowhere near as slick as the later versions on android. Not unresponsive as such but very clunky

Nationwide visa rewards currently offering 4% cashback for their customers. Can stack with other cashback.

I've started giving the boxes away now as I've two black ones and a white one in the cupboard (and I watch on my chromecast). Even with the 60% off deals I keep getting to come back to sky this deal is far cheaper. If you can manage without a sky box and have decent broadband this is the way to go.

saying 2 in stock near me but I get an error message if I try to reserve one.

I don't find it unresponsive at all, and some of my clients are still on white boxes! What version are you on, looks like a release came out in April:

https://github.com/plexinc/roku-client-public/releases

Pretty poor for plex now tbh. Only classic works and it's a clunky, unresponsive experience. Plex on fire stick is much better

Good deal on the entertainment pack but argos were doing 4 month movie pack for £20 recently. £25 is still a good deal tho.

I can't buy another one its immoral ... 7 is my level .... but the maths say otherwise!

4 month movie pass deal also 25quid on amazon at the moment too if non in stock at your local store.

none in stock online, 1 in stock 30 miles away....

Loving these packages! The way things are going I'm going to have a drawer full of Now TV boxes lol.

it is really really simple though....a few remote button presses to enable developer mode, connect to it from PC web browser using the IP address displayed on screen in developer mode and upload the App from PC. Job done

I sold one last week on eBay for £7.99 + P&P..

Easier to sell if you side-load PLEX first...

Managed to order the last one in stock click and collect for Crawley

Isn't that via messing about with the 'Developer Mode' though? (much like that of Plexing it, etc), right?.

Or is there another more comparable workaround to this that you know of instead, etc, etc?, thanx. :-)

Shame that you can only sideload one app at a time. Really need a couple of boxes for the kids room but they need Plex for streamed media and TVPlayer for Live TV.

side load roku media player app and you have a decent media player to run movies from usb

That's true ... so I've heard?, lol.

You may as well give 'em away seeing how cheap they are. Not worth the cost of postage imo

I hear what your saying?, only Click and Collect are correct now, lol.

As per my above Post too, lool. :-)

Is it me, or is my brain going backwards?.

As:
NOW TV HD Media Player (2015) – Two Month Movie Bundle is £25 here:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/now-tv-hd-media-player-2015-two-month-movie-bundle-a06uu

BUT YET:
NOW TV HD Media Player (2015) – Four Month Movie Bundle is also £25 here too:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/now-tv-hd-media-player-2015-four-month-movie-bundle-a09uu

I know Back To The Future 3 was on last night on ITV1 and all, but .....

I doubt even the Doc's Flux Capacitor would understand this one?. :-(

Hehehehe. :-)

Makes you feel not to bother to buy 1 of the 2 Months Movie Passes Boxes at the end of it really?, as 1 x 4 Months Movie Passes Boxes literally works are far cheaper per 1, than the former does?, which is a crying shame really?, as they're obvioulsy not £10 each, as their 3 Months Entertainment Passes Boxes per 1 are ..... eg. only £20 for 2 lots?, or rather £25 for only 1 lot instead? (which is a MASSIVE difference when you think about it?), hmmmmmmmmmmm. :-(

Oh well.

The £25 for the movie one is expensive really but good for entertainment

Click add to basket and it shows out of stock.

BOTH Home Delivery AND Click & Collect are still showing for me here:

http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/now-tv-hd-media-player-2015-three-month-entertainment-bundle-a05uu?ranMID=40341&ranEAID=svunC25memk&ranSiteID=svunC25memk-Kl6eIg4qSht2Lm2zhw_h8g

Try it again perhaps?. :-)

AMEN to that!. :-)

Plex!

oos

Kodi

I've seen a few stuck on ebay, but people put the starting price at £4.99 and other prices that don't attract bidders (I would always start at 99p max, plus a sensible postage price).....People may not buy them on ebay when great deals like this one become available?

Ordered - great price, will use the box and try to sell the 3 months voucher on ebay......thanks OP!

Quick question; new to the UK coming from Canada and am confused with how TV packages etc work. Would something like this be better than say Sky or EE? I have Netflix and amazon video, but need something for news and sports. Thanks!

Out of stock

expire, out of stock

looks like new box will be out at the end of this month so should be more deals on these older ones soon.

Just tried to order one on-line and it says out of stock - none in my local store either.

They're taking the kids channels out of the Entertainment one and starting a new Kids pack, just a heads-up if you wanted to get this for the kids channels.

These are good prices. I got the 6-month Entertainment pass with a black box around Christmas when Tesco was doing a deal on it. My pass is due to expire on 27th June, so will cancel it and then go and get the deal above as it says that the monthly subscription for Entertainment will be £6.99. My daughter also won a 2-month Movie pass with the recent MacDonalds Monopoly promotion and I have just cancelled that one as it is due to start again tomorrow at a cost of £9.99 a month, so the 4-month movie deal above is also a good deal.

Great price with free delivery too! Tenner to set my sister up with a little plex player. Thanks op

4% cashback via TopCashback as well, assuming it tracks.

Ordered one to replace the older white box. The black box is much faster and responsive compared to the white one.

I've got 6 for sale

I'm on this!, lol.

Were any 2 Months Movie Packages part of the £10 Deal too?. :-)

Or ..... :-(

Lol, thanx. :-)

...awaits the 'ordered 10' comment :smirk:

Not interested in the package but worth it just for the box imo

Very good price....Free Delivery.....SSHHHHHHHHH:wink:
