now tv box with 3 month entertainment pass is £14.73 . At the till when it is scanned it drops to £10 if you buy an additional 3 month entertainment pass on offer for £5 when bought with the box.
you can buy as many passes as you like - each one only costing £5 (bought another 3 myself).
so:
- box on its own with 3 month pass: £14,73
or
- box with 1 additional 3 month pass: £15,00 (6 months all together)
was told the offer is running nationwide, but unsure when offer stops.
purchased in Cramlington shop today.

Anyone else get juddering picture on consoles? I got 2 months with my Ps4 and the picture judder was pretty bad and i just couldn't watch anything. Ive had it before and never had any issues on consoles.... Asked on forum and they said its because its not on 50hz.... If thats the case why didn't it judder before? Anyway does it still do it?

If the Currys near you processes this "offer" then so be it and abuse it but as a heads up the £5 pass card is a wbw any TV so Currys are not oblidged transact this "offer" just because you are buying a now TV box.

Ricky999 I've found ability to play media files of popular formats via the black (non smart) box to be selective but better than some LCD Tv's natively. You can use youtube app to stream/control Tv using a phone tablet & the "PlayTo" app you can sideload onto it when in development works okay but not faultlessly. I wouldnt say its a chromecast substitute but you "milage" may vary

Thanks OP. Just got box and 9 months entertainment and 4 months movies for £34.97. The box doesn't reduce in price at till. As previous poster pointed out, I had to have pass scanned first, and then box and then they must have different options on their screen with offers which then reduces prices of all passes bought to £5 each. Took 3 till operators to work it out though. This was in Birstall store at junction 27 retail park

Worked for me as well (Doncaster store). The guy assisting me was sceptical but worked through the codes until he got it to work. Box and 12 months Entertainment for £25. He also tried Cinema for me but there were no offers on the system.
It shows on the receipt as:
NWT ENTS WBW £10
1-> NOWTV NTV2E3
NWT ENTS CARD WBW £5
1-> NOWTV NOWTVENT3 MNTH
(plus 2 more)

It is supposed to be a bit faster again. Subjectively it may be a bit snappier, but the difference is small.
The main advantage is obviously the freeview receiver, which also has time shifting, but no recording.

This deal is not for a Freeview-enabled NowTV box, so that's not relevant. Although i've just noticed that poster phlroy, who asked the question to which i was replying, seems to think this Now box is a Freeview box, which it isn't. Which is why this is all getting a bit confused...

29 Dec 16#75
Just to clarify this offer some including me were a bit confused with the details in the post
The box does not reduce to £10 at the till. Ive tried 5 branches
when you buy the box, the £5 for 3 months pass wont reduce. You have to do it the other way round (silly currys system)
You have to buy the 3 months pass and then on the till the box comes up as an add on item which still is £14. Something however only then does the 3 months pass reduce.
So the actual deal is £14.24 for the box with 3 months and then £5 each for every additional 3month pass u want.
Hope this clarifies things.

If you haven't got an HDMI socket on your TV, then you can only use the old white box. So that's one reason! But I do take your point.

28 Dec 161#44
Just to be clear phlroy, this is NOT a Freeview box. It is something else entirely. The newest version of the NowTV box can access Freeview, but the one in this post can not. It broadcasts over the internet. If you have a decent broadband speed and a TV with an HDMI socket, you're good to go.

For people who already have ways of watching now TV (chromecast for me), These deals are great for getting cheap passes. 6 months for £15.00 is a bargain, the box that comes with it is merely a by product that could be used if needed. Heat added.
