Ditching Sky and buying two of these for £40 for 12 months TV was the best thing I ever did!

Don't forget when cancelling movies you get a 4 months for £3.99pm offer, so works out cheaper if you already have a pass

Now £39.99 when checking out. I double checked by increasing volume to 2 and it went to £79.98. I've reserved one to pay instore in case they will honour the price but sadly seems like this expires today :disappointed:

Can someone help me with details of catchup. Can I watch previous episodes of the Walking Dead, GOT, and Fortitude for example using this box? This is a fab deal and stock available for immediate pick up but it would only benefit me if I can watch Sky Atlantic and FOX on demand. Apologies if this is a stupid question. I just packed in TIVO (what a joke that was) for FreeSat. I would've loved to just go with Now TV but I need access to the standard channels too and have no aerial for freeview from my smart TV.

You will get the entertainment on both boxes linked to the one account.

If I buy one of each box and connect to two separate TVs, can I get the entertainment pack and movies on both boxes, or is the pass tied to one box only? Sorry if this a stooopid question but I am new to Now TV.

Shame I used my NUS card for 2 months for £2

Still some in stock in my area Liverpool. Keep checking as they get new stock all the time.

Looks like Argos have now sold out... booo

May become a case of too many things to watch, but too little time. I only have Now TV & record some live TV everyday, but struggle to keep up.


It may be re-downloadable from the Samsung 'app store' (or similar) in the TV - have you had a look? If not, it's possible that they've removed it after their licencing deal with Now TV ended.

Have both Netflix and Amazon prime, is it worth getting this and if so would the Entertainment or Cinema package be better (less duplication?).

Do love myself a good bargain.

Also whats wrong with me I can no longer find the Now TV app on my Samsung Smart TV. Did they remove it?

If you don't need the box then this is a great option.

Do i have to give card details

Thanks OP, hurry up peeps, they're running out fast!

Just got home from Argos to find my box already opened and voucher nicked... Perfect!

Thanks op, this is a great deal. And I've just cancelled Sky so this has come at a ideal time. OOS in the North East but my very kind sister managed to get me 2 from a store in Liverpool. :smiley:

Yeah, we know what you mean...(from posts #43 & #62):

I would not mind this but with a sports pass instead of movies. I don't care much about movies.

Got one earlier (plenty in local argos), after having issues with setting up on the Virgin media hub (fixed in minutes using https://community.nowtv.com/t5/NOW-TV-Box-black/Error-code-013-can-t-connect-to-local-network/td-p/328013 and the disable ping setting) all up and running.

Seems a good amount of films on there to view, and also enabled the USB feature (http://www.waxedperfection.co.uk/now-tv-usb-working-hd-box) and most of the films on my USB seem to work, some get stuck but not a big issue as will keep the WDTVlive nearby.

for £40 i would probably have not have bought one, but £20 for a media player and free movies seems reasonable, or a free media player but £5 a month sky movies, or £10 media player and £2.50 a month for movies.....take your pick :wink:

If I purchased one of these boxes and passes would I have to give who ever it is my bank accounts details when registering/setting up. Don't really want any naughty direct debits appearing would just rather buy vouchers/codes

​Yes of course. just log in to your nowtv account using a tablet or computer and activate the passes. :smile:

​buying one time this offer and extend pass by buying vouchers in ebay is more convenient because you don't need to collect these boxes. you can sell it on eBay or cex but who knows how much it worth :wink:

YEP!!, if it's the Entertainment Package ... (ONLY!)

Well, actually, Game of Thrones was available via Sky Atlantic in April 2016 with the Entertainment pass. In the run-up all the box-sets for the previous series were available. I would assume they would be available again when it is released in "mid-2017":
"Game of Thrones is set to premiere on HBO later than usual, in mid-2017."

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better.

"FACT(federation against copyright theft) claims that, "if you are accessing premium pay-for content, like Sky, BT Sport and Virgin Media, and you do not have a subscription with an official provider then this is unlawful access".

Yes, you are probably safe, but he makes very valid points. And even if you believe it is legal, you know full well it is morally wrong - but then I`m guessing you have no morals, so won`t give a monkeys what anyone says.

Also i pay TV lisence so why should i have to spend £40 more on Sky and not even get to watch all the tv shows any way, usually UK is late,



Before people say cancel licence i would but someone else in my household uses BBC

Its not illegal though, maybe you should research, its illegal to sell copies but you can watch it its legal

"Watch out" I bought a NOW TV setup with 3 months free entertainment. Exactly one month later £9.99 was taken from my bank account. They had access because they said it was necessary to give account details to prove my age, which seemed strange. There are no subtitles, only on BBC programs, and it's rather difficult to operate the remote, it doesn't help because it jumps 2 or 3 clicks sometimes. I don't think it's worth paying for. Now the bank chargers have got to be sorted out. So much for three free months.

Hot hot hot

Ah for a minute I thought it was entertainment & movies together for £19.99

Currys Pc World are doing the same deal. Free delivery too.

Not stupid at all. Yes, all can be done over the Wi-Fi (although powerline adapters are preferable/more reliable if a wired ethernet connection is not possible).

You only need a TV aerial to get full functionality from the more expensive Freeview-capable Smart box (links in my previous post).

Aren't you the lucky one. They're generally going for around £20 on ebay

Stupid question I suspect - but is this all done over wifi or do I need a functioning TV Aerial ?

Only with the more expensive Smart box (links below as examples only as you may get them cheaper elsewhere), you can pause and rewind live TV channels for up to 30 minutes.

Smart box with Entertainment pass: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5449570
Smart box with Movie/Cinema pass: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5766985

On all other devices (including the one in this offer), you can only pause, rewind or fast-forward on demand movies and shows, which this offer is for - so yes to your query.

For the best, uninterrupted service, you should wait unitl there are fewer than 30 days to go until the end of your current pass - then apply this code.

Can you pause, rewind and fast forward this box? Thanks

​yes wait for pass to run out then add new pass

Same price at Currys but with free delivery

Out of stock in store or home delivery in Kent

Doesn't appear to be any stock anywhere across the central belt of scotland! :confused:

Yes, but that works out quite expensive for movies - i.e. £5 per month.

Instead, if you have an Android phone, do what I suggest here to get 3 months movies for £5 in total (£1.66 per month):
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/now-tv-2-months-sky-cinema-entertainment-pass-only-2-nus-2620332?p=30075203

Just keep checking get new stock all the time on these and offer will be on for a few days yet.

just ordered 2 movie boxes, thats a years films sorted as i added a 4 month voucher on monday, thanks op

As usual never in stock in any of the 4 stores nearby. I hate how I can never get these deals

If I buy one of these can I just use the code on my PS4 nowtv account instead of using the box?

Was sold out last night but managed to find one this morning. My previous one of these expires in May so good timing. Heat added, thanks.

Yeah you can cast to the Shield TV really easily (the new one anyway), it's basically seen as a normal Chromecast on the network.

No you got 12 months to redeem. If you get the box, sign up for a 14 day free trial (remember to cancel it so you're not charged!) while sky is active and see what you think.

If you decide you're not keen, just sell the box and the code and you'll probs make your money back.

I'm with sky at the moment and I'm coming to the end of my contract in may/June time if I purchased these now can I redeem them then or do I have to do so immediately ?

Do you think I can find any stock near me...NOPE is the answer :disappointed:

Its personal preference. My parents like to pay for the service that they use and see the kodi addons as eroding the industry and effectively stealing. They also don't want their WiFi connected with illegal torrents or the whole grey area of streaming copyright infringing material from kodi addons.

They can afford a fiver a month and they love the now TV movie service so they happily pay it along with sky (non movies).

To be fair, if everyone used free kodi addons and no one used sky etc etc or went to movies, then the industry would be dead, nothing would be produced.

So you should encourage people to pay and everyone else can enjoy this grey area Merry go round for another few years.

And if you cancel, and say it's two expensive, they offer you 4 months movies for £3.99 a month. (Or at least they did for me and a few others here). Better deal if u don't want another box that u won't get round to using/selling.

We've used NOWTV for the last 6 months (entertainment package) and we have just cancelled. The picture quality was really quite poor compared to Netflix and are were really unhappy that they will often only show, for example seasons 3 and 6 and not the other seasons which we found really frustrating as we like to watch show in the correct order so we get the full story line.

Absolute bargain

Yes you can use the same account on up to 4 boxes (devices), I use my account on 2 different boxes plus my PC i.e. 3 devices

Oops Just re read and think it's fine to do that

Can u have account on 2 boxes though. I have one in my teens room but could I put one in my living room on same account do u know please? Sorry I am bit dim with this kind of stuff

No GOT on there HBO are nightmare for not sharing :disappointed:

Most of the others are very similar to sky box sets.

Paid £15.95 through flubit last time these were this price, but flubit elite being the wonderful thing its is offer comes back £21.95

As someone with just entertainment package on Sky - how would this work for me? Is it all the same channels in the same tv guide type system? Thanks

Really? Why not just a kodi box/android tv box for Kodi, MovieHD, Showbox

I got nvidia shield just download kodi app and plex of google play store then search kodi on youtube u can use google cast from phone to ur shield and u can stream pc games from ur pc to ur tv the shield can do more than all the other streaming boxes put together in 4k HDR dolby atomos netflix amazon prime

shield runs android TV OS not vanilla android. not sure why it makes a difference but thats the reason why.

dont think you can cast to the shield either. must be some issues with the shield. i have one but use my phone and cast to my chromecast stick :smiley:

Yes, after installing thirdparty apps like USB Player & Plex:

How to get the NOW TV USB Slot Working

How do I stream video from my PC hard drive?

I think it should be 'OR', rather than 'AND' in the title, it's not £19.99 for both passes.

see link hope it helps http://www.waxedperfection.co.uk/now-tv-usb-working-hd-box

I had an expired code and there wasn't a sniff of a problem getting it reactivated on chat so presume they do it regularly and painlessly

Can these boxes stream content from a USB flash drive or HDD?

£103!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

​Thanks for your reply :smiley:
My monthly bill is £103 :confused: but I do get all tv, sky movies, all sports, LFC channel added on, phone line (never have any chargeable calls) and 200mb broadband :man:
Before I put full sports on I used day passes now and again for the footy but found it buffered loads and spent more time getting it back on than we did watching play! :neutral_face: so wouldn't want to have to buy footy passes (not too sure how they offer sports passes... day/week/monthly)

Probably although my Tesco isn't great for deals. They had the older style black boxes with 2 months movies for £25 when I looked the other day.

You only get Sky Sports news free on the Now TV boxes.
I have NowTV on an LG tv but can't watch sky sports free on there but can on my now tv box, you need a sports pass to watch SSN on any device but the smart box.

I think its nationwide, been this price in Tesco for past month.

Brilliant deal, thanks op :smile:

Picked up the box with 4 Month movie pass from Tesco for the same price today. Not sure if store specific

​For clarity to anyone with the same query, I currently have a Cinema pass, an Entertainment pass, a Kids Pass & a Sports Pass on the same account & watched across 4 devices. Ive maxed out on what Now TV can offer haha!

No, this ain't a freeview box

bit of advice needed. we've got virgin with broadband and compulsory phone (we haven't even got a phone plugged in) so are looking at shedding a bit of the £75 bill. We got a firestick with a good kodi build at xmas which we like but not in a flicking through the channels kind of way. would the now tv box suffice for this? any decent broadband only deals?

may be of no help I know, as might be store specific but new version 3 box at my local Sainsburys (Washington) with 5 month entertainment for £34.99 (£44 99 at Argos).

My one month movie pass just expiring, but I watched most of the movies I wanted to see. It's not really great choice....it's better then netflix but nothing special

Thanks for clearing that up.....So looks like I only need sports and kids. What are the best options for picking up a new box and those packages? (I realise it won't be as good as some of these other packages but hopefully looking to save at least a little bit)

No - you need the kids entertainment pass. Not half price unfortunately.

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5531828

Thanks OP thinking of taking the dive on this and going for the new box.....As it seems the bundles are always available.

Assuming the entertainment is 'normal' TV.....Does this include the kids nick channel?

Yes, that would be nice, especially with week or month passes.

Cheap enough single day sport codes are available on eBay - an example (£2.75): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201829162469

I've had about 12 boxes so far, they don't care. Yes you can have both movies and entertainment on one account and use that account on 4 boxes (watching 2 at a time). I gave a box to my parents.

Yes, you can have the same account on up to 4 boxes, so there's absolutely no reason to not justify having 4 codes from buying those 4 boxes

Thanks- didn't think of trying that! Just done it on my account.

Thank you. I have £10.00 in Mymail points from Daily Mail to use at Argos, so 6 Months entertainment pass will cost me £9.99. Great.

Great Deal. Got the cinema today thanks OP

actually ordered as home delivery as had free voucher. if online shopping with Saintsbury's check your emails they sent me a code for delivery saves the horrible in store queue

^^ You can enter the movie code on the nowtv website under my passes.. and then you will have both codes running at once on the box.

Still dont get it....if you want the entertainment pack, you enter the code...bish bosh, works. If you then want movies, can you enter on same box?

Usually last 12 months. I've got 1 to put on in April when my current 1 runs out, that I got on offer last time. Will be putting today's away till after that. So do last a while and worth getting when on offer.

Usually 12 months. But don't know exactly how they can know when the boxes and passes are sold.

Also read of people with expired cards going on the Now TV chat and they have activated the code, as long as it was not already used.

Yeah you can just keep it for later

Do these usually have a reasonable expiry length on them?

We signed up to Now TV last month and got 6 months cinema and 6 months entertainment for £50. I understand I can't stack another 4 months cinema on that yet, so can I just keep this voucher until I can use it?

so if you want both - presume you can apply 2 codes to one box?

I've already got the black v2 now TV box and I want a v3 box really.

I'm tempted to get this great offer but I think I'll wait until there is a good deal with a v3 box.

Heat. Had a look on ebay, which is a good deal but always feel a bit dubious about those. At least with Argos you can be sure of what you are getting.

Thanks just reserved

Only went on offer this morning, usually on offer for a few days to a week.

link, pic, anything??

Wish the Sky Sports would drop to these prices

on a side note could someone tell me how I'm able to watch sky sports news on the box free, but when I want to watch on my phone or tablet it says I need the sports package.
thanks in advance

got a link?

I bought 3 months entertainment pass for £7 in ebay. :wink:

Anyone know if a BT Wifi/Fon login will support Now TV? I know iplayer & itv hub worked.

Depends how much you're paying for all that. Most people appear to be getting what they need with the likes of this, but at far less the cost of Virgin/Sky etc. Just needs a little more leg work to keep on top of the offers, renew etc. (although from my limited experience with Now TV so far, seems to be easy through web etc.

Why shout? Both of them have acknowledged it's not on Virgin.

SKY ATLANTIC NOT ON VIRGIN :smiley:

thanks for posting!

As everyone has already said. Buy these boxes now, you won't regret it - then buy more passes in a few months time when they are half price again and sell the extra boxes on eBay...

does this give you the boxsets too i.e. GOT?

Thanks. Reserved.

I also have Virgin but we dropped down the most basic package - we use NOW TV every day, it's not just Sky Atlantic - it's the access to all the box-sets. They might be on Virgin but I've never found them on there!

PAID £8 FOR 4 MONTHS PASS ON EBAY THIS MORNING JUST SO PEOPLE HAVE ANOTHER OPTION :smiley:

Was about to bite and grab one of these, but anyone know why the Now TV android app isn't compatible with the nVidia Shield TV? :/

Seems a bit of an oversight, I can watch TV on my phone, tablet, dishwasher, dog, toilet, but not the TV. What a time to be alive.

anyone know when this offer expires?

This is the best value TV package imo. You can have 4 devices on one account so I it's great value.

Don't forget when cancelling movies you get a 4 months for £3.99pm offer, so works out cheaper if you already have a pass

nice one,ordered

Thanks for sharing.

​just go on there website, it tells you all the channels that are available

Can some kind soul please advise if there's loads more available than what's currently on offer with my Virgin full package?
Think all I don't get is Sky Atlantic?
Got movie channel, so would I just be wasting my money if I got both of these? Usually use Now TV thru the app on TV, when I've used a £1 two week trial offer in the past, so no need for the box? :confused:
Thanks muchly <3

Ditching Sky and buying two of these for £40 for 12 months TV was the best thing I ever did!

Ordered!

op thanks reserved entertainment

great stuff ordered one of each

Great, another 4 months of movies....

Oh and remember they like to start trying to charge your card details when you have about a week left! Mine is attached to my revolut with no money on luckily!!!

odd. comes up as 19.99 but when checking out its 39.99?

DUHHH!! must have accidently put it into my basket twice!

You can only apply a new voucher when a current one has 1 month or less still active.

Be careful if picking up in-store, last time I went for the movies pass @ Argos the card with the code on it was missing.

Can I use the code (6 months entertainment pass) on an existing account??

Thanks, ordrered

Thank you for posting

Great deal. Ordered thanks

Cheers another 4 months sorted :innocent:

Thanks op

thanks op ordered
