Was on offer at Amazon this week for 10% cheaper but that was a one day deal. Down from RRP of £69.99, was only released last month.
Suspect we'll see a few more of these on offer down the line, but this also has Freeview HD and the ability to pause/rewind TV, so a nice upgrade for an older telly and a much better bet than the older black NowTV boxes if you don't have such functionality on your TV already.
Comes with either a 5 month entertainment pass (544/9570) or 4 month movie pass (576/6985).

You can install plex on the new now tv smart box. I got one from Amazon and it's the same procedure as the old boxes.

How do these get Freeview HD?
Plugged into your aerial or is it live streamed?

Do the viewing codes work with existing accounts or would I have to set up a new one?
Thanks.

It's the older version, or Rarflix. Rarflix has wake on lan built in, but both are a lot older than the newer Plex clients. To my knowledge, it's because the newer builds are available via the Roku appstore, which isn't available on these NowTV branded boxes.
Ended up moving onto Kodi on a fire stick/box and using PlexKodiConnect which is a much better experience for accessing Plex content, but judging by the number of people flogging the NowTV boxes on eBay, there's clearly some market for IPTV via the older sideloaded versions of Plex.

£39.99 seems to be the price for this now, Amazon did the £36.99 deal, now Argos doing it for £39.99 and i seen it in Asda today for £39.99 too, don't think its ever been on sale for £70?

Sure it has - it's the RRP of £69.99 in my local Tesco.
