£3 fish and chips at Morries - just sayin, cheap cod

Heat..<3

Average deal when Infinite Warfare is only £29 :stuck_out_tongue:

Folks, have they changed the passes in these boxes? They used to be a small card with whatever the package was on it but I've just opened the box for the one I bought (6 month entertainment) and there is a larger card folded in half that just says Entertainment month pass on it? Have I been had?

Great deal. Last time it was around this price I registered the voucher to my account and then sold the box on Gumtree for £8. So it worked out 6months for £12! Also you should add "nowtv" (without the space) to the title as many people don't realise that it should be separate words

​Yes

I'm already a customer, can I still get the 4 months pass?

Bought a year of Movies and Tv for £100 (2x 6 month entertainment and 3x 4 month movie) then took out the batteries as they are Duracell, worth about £1.50 and traded the boxes at CEX and got £35 credit. So its about £65 for a years viewing.
Not too shabby, unused cards just sit under the tv unit

Be aware that they say you are only allowed to get one of these, "because it is such a good deal". I had reserved 2 to go and pay for and collect but they only let me get one.

So I used their wifi to reserve one at another nearby store and got it from there.

Reduced at argos now aswell. If that's better for anybody

​No but the new season will be on there...

I've just bought a 4 month movie pass and a 6 month entertainment pass for £19 each with black now TV boxes from Amazon

Great offer just ordered one

Been waiting for the price drop, ordered one of each. Heat added.

I've never had a problem & have read customer services will sort you out, but I don't buy loads as these deals are pretty regular. Someone did comment about stacking them which may be possible now. I'm just in the habit of knowing which month I need to add a pass

Back on Amazon

Thanks OP. Just ordered the 6 month Entertainment Pack. Heat Added.

I'm not sure, but maybe not. On the Tesco site it says "Voucher expires one year after date of purchase.". However I bought one of these boxes before and I think the voucher was actually valid for less than a year from the date I bought it. If I'm right it might have been valid from 1 year since the voucher was packed in the retail box. So if these boxes were packed 9 months ago, you may only have 3 months left to use the vouchers.
Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong or confirm if I'm right?

Ahhh bit slow Argos

Argos now price matched for the 6 months entertainment pass and box - add to checkout to see the price drop

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/4590602

Thanks, So will they allow you to buy for example 3 of these and would they still be valid bearing in mind the last pass would be used quite some time down the line

Streaming channels are in SD. Now TV Box sets/films are 720p. The streaming quality used to be rubbish on Now TV services, but now i find it very decent - I can barely tell the difference with the 1080p streams i get on the Amazon Fire TV for Amazon Video/Netflix and 720p streams on Now TV.

Grabbed two of these at Easter. Been using the first one since June, can't say we've missed Sky+HD one bit and even though I could have continued the full sky package for £35pm, I still wanted to cancel it all and go down this route. Highly recommend others do the same.

Are the channels in HD, ie sky one. Are any of the boxsets in HD?

its not the pass only, its the box as well.

Thank you ordered one.

Box is included and it supports both wireless and wired (ethernet) connections

Do you get the box with the 6 months pass an is the box wireless???????

Voucher code can be used later, that's what I did.

You can only watch on two of them at a time though.

I find the four devices thing to be too restrictive even for one house. We have two TVs, two tablets, two smartphones and three computers. It's annoying not to just be able to log in on whichever device you want to use, and you can only make one change to the devices a month.

Another annoying thing is that you can only stream, you can't download to watch later. Which means if you want to watch stuff on a bus or a train you'll be using a lot of data.

I think the content on NowTV is better than the (legal) alternatives, but the way they've implemented it is far too restrictive.

Ordered mine today

I have prime, Netflix and now TV and I find now TV to offer the best selection of old and newer movies.

Can't think of a non copyright infringing route to get a better movie service. Possible play store movies and just pay for what you watch which would be OK if u just watch one or possibly two movies a month.

Why do you want to do that?

Just add the pass to your existing account. If you're paying monthly at the moment, they won't charge you again until the pass ends.

you can wait.. i have now stock until August:)

But you can only watch 2 at a time

Was waiting for a good deal on the movies pass, heat added

If I was to buy this would I have to use 4 month pass straight away or could i wait a few months?

Thanks OP

Heeeat added OP :laughing:, movie pass runs out end of the month :wink:

Sky Cinema/ Films is rubbish - maybe 10 good films a year

the old films are OK, of course - but - like you - we got 4 months of free Sky films now & so far I ain't watched nothin

lots of ways

eg have several credit cards

or just buy the disposable credit cards in Tesco

"the only thing they don't like is duplicating the same credit card details, you can easily get around this"

How?

Great stuff, I ditched Sky . I've ordered two of these so I'll get the Entertainment package for a year for £38 which is less than I was previously giving them per month. Hot

I also thought their Entertainment Box sets were a joke. Eg A series had 12 episodes but I found only say 4 episodes in the box set. These were older series too (ie the limit was not due to un-aired episodes). May have changed but be careful.

I've had NowTV for 11 months (3 x 4 month passes) and at least 70% of the films available to me are the same as when I first signed up. Its ok for a while but then you just find that the film choice is not being refreshed.

I have a smart TV. What are the advantages of getting this deal rather than the Black Friday deals on the NOW website. Never had decent broadband to use any of these type of services, but that changes for me soon. Currently pay a fortune for sky, with movies.

Thank you chanchi, got one of each

Cheers buddy! :-)

just stack the codes.
had 2 months left And added another 4 at the weekend.

you can but have to add it in the last month of your existing pass

6 month entertainment package no longer working! :disappointed:

Yes,just wait until the current pass is in its last month.
Then add the new code.

Can you use this pass to add to an existing account. Have 4 month remaining

of course it is, dude

I have about 10 Now TV a/cs to take advantage of various free stuff (ie use a different email address)

the only thing they don't like is duplicating the same credit card details, you can easily get around this

I already have a Now TV box. Anyone know if it's possible to successfully cancel my existing account & start anew with this offer please?

HUH?.

There's an irony there somewhere?, hahahaha. :-)

Just got this from Amazon! very disappointed! >Vivek:

Great deal. Bought the 6 month entertainment pass.... Think the spare remote is more useful than the actual box. Already have a bunch of them...

R

As usual don't forget that you can exchange the unwanted box at cex for £4 cash/ £7 credit (at time of writing)for further discount if you have one locally

Grabbed one for the 6 month entertainment pass for £19 from Tesco, as my last 6 month pass has just ran out...
Cheers OP!.

Just had a look, it's an offer for new accounts only (the £5 offers), nothing stopping you signing up to it, if you are a new Now tv user then you can also add the code in you will get with this box, so... Answer is yes for new user, or 'New Account' folk.
((I have had a few accounts in the past).

Mind you you may find the 14 days free deal for new users might be enough for ya, and you may still get quick / topcashback as I used to, which was nice.

Virgin TiVo does have iPlayer and ITV and C4 catch-up, but those are limited to last 7 days content.

I see nowtv website have 2 months movies for £5. Can I join that, use the box when it arrives and then 2 months later apply the 4 month movie pass with the box? So 6 months movies for £24?

Only seasons 1-5 free with Prime membership.

Only seasons 1-5 free with Prime membership.

what version of the box is this? Is it the latest one?

Ordered from Tetco for £19
Sell the box for 7 squids and its £2 a month...No brainer!

no longer price matched by amazon

Yes, you can.

Great deal, thanks!

Ordered one of each.

Box sets come and go, so if the series you are interested in isn't currently available, it will probably make a comeback in a month or two.

Hi, anyone know if I can use the pass by typing a code into the App on my PS4? Then I can just flog the box on eBay for a few quid...happy days! :-) Thanks

Thank you just ordered one

there is but don't worry about it

NowTV Live Chat are very helpful & would just give you a new code

It says "transforms your TV into a Smart TV"... I have an LG 42lh7000, so what will it transform into?. Because I quite fancy the LG 43UH610v Smart 4K Ultra HD.

Don't suppose John Lewis will price match the wrong box again.....

If I buy one of these and chuck it in the cupboard for the time being, without activating the pass/account, is there an 'expiry date' on these passes? eg... will I have to use it within 12 months etc?
Ta.

For freeview you don't but the sky channels you do. If not then why would anyone get Sky????

Yes you have 12 months from your purchase date to activate the voucher

Don't forget you can run 4 boxes from one account. These boxes can be in different houses so for £5 pm you can keep all the family members happy.

Awesome, got the 4 month movies and the 6 month entertainment for free with my Tesco vouchers, cheers OP!

If I buy this now, can I wait until later to start the 6 month subscription...wait until June for GoT to start? :sunglasses:

Nashville on Sky Living - bit soapy, but good music.

Game of Thrones is not available at the moment

Can you get amazon prime video to work on these boxes?

The 4 month link works but not the 6, help?

great, bought a 6 month entertainment for £3 after using some Tesco points :smiley: Thanks to op...

Bought both, great find!

Looks like Amazon is oos and only other sellers left.

Thanks OP just orderd from tesco my entertainment package runs out in 2 days .so I will get this in time for next weeks showing of "the walking dead " heat added

Me too

12 months. But how they tell when you actually purchased the box I don't know. If voucher is expired when you come to enter it, contact Now TV and they usually add it.

showing as £29.99 for me

This is amazing. Basically 6 months of Sky for £3 a month. We move house in May, how long do you have to wait until activating the voucher?

If the above links don't work for you (didn't for me for some reason) try this. It's a link to the search for all the NowTV boxes. The two mentioned are near the bottom:

http://www.tesco.com/direct/search-results/results.page?catId=4294967294&searchquery=now+tv&SrchId=4294967294#

Edit: Hmmm, this also doesn't work! It must be down to the HUKD redirect! Mods can you explain why these don't seem to work. They just seem to take you to the Tesco Grocery home page!!

1080p and 7.1 on this, however nearly all Nowtv programs are only streamed in 2.0.

Now TV itself is only 720p and stereo, however the box can cope with 1080p and Dolby, I run plex on mine and stream from my pc

Note - Sky has now removed all previous seasons of The Walking Dead from their box selections. If you want to watch all seasons, they are still available on Amazon Prime Video (if you're a Prime member).

​Game of thrones

awesome got me a 6 month one cheers

thank you chanci just ordered

£960 per annum + the drakonian biased broadcasting corporation license fee!. Thats insane

Thanks OP

How can i buy this from amazon, there isn't a button??

Wow that's one hefty cable subscription. They're taking you for a ride. If you still want a subscriotion, insist you want to leave, they'll transfer you to retentions, hold firm until the last second when the 'CS Consultant' offers to pretty much halve your subscription on a new one year deal.
However, Now TV will be much better value even if you get both the Movie and Entertainment passes. Sky is on the way down and they know it which is why they are cannibalising their subscription offering with these cut price deals for the majority of the same channels via Now TV.
So much better value with Netflix and Amazon Prime (of course, depends on tastes).

Anything on the entertainment pass worth watching, apart from Westworld ?

Every year I used to get these deals, and ended up hardly watching anything. I have just gone for Sky Movies which is handy for around Oscar time.

Does this box have 1080p and dolby digital? I think I remember reading there was an update since the previous Now TV boxes could only output 720p and stereo.

Heat added, i just ordered from tesco. We pay £80 per month to Sky and my husband and me we were talking yesterday about canceling but we love watching sky1 and sky atlantic. We can remove the kids channels as we can use youtube for them . So now off to discuss with sky how to reduce our bill after cancelling tv. Thanks.

These are at last years Black Friday's 4 months Movies, OR 6 months Entertainment Passes £19 prices ..... NICE!!!, hehehe.

And yes, Tesco were the one's to kick-off those £19 prices last Black Friday too!, lol (get ready for the ensuing whirlwind that follows?, hehehe). :-)

Great deal, but holding out for the new Now TV box, hope they reduce it as I want to have the freeview hd.

Might be from the web but you can watch what is on the channels live. You can this on the Movie Channels, All the Entertainments Channels & bbc iplayer (which btw TiVo don't have)
Having Bbc Iplayer, Itv Player and channel 4 catch up is a massive bonus over TiVo

Good deal

Cheers for the Amazon link! Heat added.

Monday morn madness, gif to be added :laughing: on my way...

Just wanted to say thanks Chanchi....bought one

.[/quote]So would the 2016 box require no broadband? Thank you for your reply btw :smile:[/quote]
You need an internet connection, yes, and that is usually Broadband. For the 'best' quality streaming available on this NowTV box you'd need a stable speed of just over 3mbps, or so their Customer Support advised me a year or so ago.

My entertainment pass runs out on 25th, so went to cancel subscription yesterday
and they offered me it at £4.99 a month. Thought I would hold out for a better deal.
"And low and behold". Well done Chianchi.
Perfect timing.
Just ordered c&c
Heat added

Amazon are giving 6 months entertainment pass for £19 but 3 months at £20.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016WGF9O2/?tag=ho01f-21&th=1:smiley:

My parents are moving in January and instead of getting sky they are going with virgin media but they love sky Atlantic which you can't get on virgin. If they buy this now, can they activate the pass later on or do they have to activate straight away? Thanks.

Thanks for posting - just bought one of each!
These will come in handy once my existing voucher stack is depleted - just in time for Game of Thrones next year! :wink:

bought from amazon, many thanks op

They appear to have price matched now. Cheers.

They're coming up at £20 for me, with shorter pass time.. did Tesco change the offer back? Or am I being slow at.. half 3am.

***edit*** never mind! The Get Deal link works but the two posted seem incorrect at least for me!

So would the 2016 box require no broadband? Thank you for your reply btw :smile:

Right I don't want to seem daft but..wanting to leave Virgin because every damn year it increases. .so this Now TV, is it almost just like the tivo/a sky box itself? And there's no way around needing WiFi? Sorry if this is some stupid questions..

Cheers OP my entertainment pass runs out soon so this just what i need :smile:

Thank you - ordered as our pass runs out in a couple of weeks :-)

It is odd that the boxes with the 2 month movie pass and 3 month entertainment pass is £1 more expensive..

Hi chanchi32 :-)
I am clicking on the link for the entertainment pass but it takes me to groceries - am I doing something wrong?
When I click on the pic it takes me to the movie deal
Ta!

Yours is 50mins in. I was at 200 degrees by then (maybe 300) with the COD i found :stuck_out_tongue::smile:

Average deal when Infinite Warfare is only £29 :stuck_out_tongue:

Hot! I'm preparing to get rid of Sky in the new year so this will come in handy!

Has anyone got a link to the box with 6mth pass please for £19...I can't find it :disappointed:
