That's rather mean! - this is a device that has 3 months entertainment and the hardware for under £10 and sideloading was only ever a nice to have and should never have been considered a permanent optional feature

Are the memberships alone normally more than this? Might just buy it to watch on my xbox/TV and not use the box.

Can you still sideload plex on this?

Nope

The recent update prevents developer mode which is required to sideload plex. So I will be buying another from this link and then preventing further updates. The old one will go on ebay for around £5.

If I purchase this, can I use the 3 months after my current 3 month deal ends? 4 months for price of 1. Just didn't realise you couldn't stream live tv with now tv for youview

Yes. Add new code within 31 days of current one ending

nope they've updated the firmware over the air to block people doing it

So, it's unlikely this one has the new firmware? Any links on how to block updates?

Heat added, thank you. Was bidding for a used one on eBay the other day got to £7.50 with postage but was outbid and that didn't have a pass with it. Great find, thanks again :smiley:
If we can find out update server IP's these can be blocked on router... Some more reading to do...

Can't see what issue having no plex is actually causing. Most will be buying the product for the vouchers. Got half a dozen boxes in the attic, the vouchers are used throughout the house to every tv/ps4/ps3 without the boxes on most connections.

I have bought 8 of these boxes from them before and have just ordered a few more. They do free delivery so you can't complain at this price. Only minor issue is you have to sign up and today my transaction went through without prompting me for any payment details so it looks like they store your payment card info like Amazon.
Hoping to use the vouchers and sell the boxes on Ebay.
Defo a good deal and you need to be quick as they go out of stock fast

hate it when they store card details without permission! Also happened on M&S & Amazon accounts...Maybe paypal is a better option for preventing this to happen

Does anyone know the timeframe for redeeming the free pass? Can you wait until game of thrones starts?
M4tt31 to Dodfather
15 Apr 17#31
It's usually 12 months. I'm still using movie vouchers purchased last year. After 12 months I've seen posters mention they contacted Nowtv and they redeemed the voucher for them.

16 Apr 171#61
Yeah many will have been utterly wiped out financially when their £10 boxes stopped providing a feature it was never sold to do :smile:
I can understand people being annoyed when their smart TV stops working with an add-on app but a £10 box doesn't really compare.

Does the entertainment pass start as soon as you plug in or is it started when you activate with a code or somthing??
Crossbow to R37R0
15 Apr 17#44
Only when you enter the included code, & will work up to 1 year later (if it doesn't after a year, you can contact them to extend it).
Master_Yoda
15 Apr 17#46
Only buy these boxes if you are not bothered if the codes don't work. Don't stock up and just assume the codes will work in the future - the codes often don't work and their CS will do everything possible not to honour the codes.Have learnt this the hard way.
duncan5112 to Master_Yoda
15 Apr 17#47
i disagree with this as must have had well over 10 boxes with passes never an issue with codes. If buying several copies though would advise checking expiry date with live chat most have over 1 year validity depends on shop stock of course.

Definately hot...just ordered one for my daughters room, she had three months of sky movies for Xmas, now run out, this is ideal. She used it all the time rather than watching what we were watching on main tv. Cheers, been looking at these elsewhere for more money.....this free delivery!
jenlamont99
15 Apr 17#49
Don't understand these boxes, do you get freview channels if you don't have the extras?? Wanting it for my daughters room, but don't know if it's worth it.
amour3k to jenlamont99
16 Apr 17#53
It's the new SMARTER Smart NOW TV Boxes (more £'s) that have Freebies content 'built-in', the OP's above (cheaper) NOW TV Boxes are not them!, lol.
But, that aside though (apart from the Entertainment Pass/Package you pay for), you do get a load of other App Content 'built-in', eg. BBC iPlayer, You Tube, Catch Up TV, 4oD, etc etc etc?, so ..... :-)
It's up to you?.
dealpickle to jenlamont99
16 Apr 17#55
As mentioned in another post, this box does not have Freeview. There is a new, pricier 'smart' Now TV box that does if you really want it. But the box in this deal still provides plenty, including Sky Atlantic, Sky One, GOLD, BBC iPlayer (although there have been some technical issues with this lately), All4, Fox, Youtube and more. Honestly, for less than a tenner it's well worth picking one up.

This is a good deal. I have ordered one with the 2 months movie pass (I'll add it onto the previous voucher when it expires in September). It is half the price of the movies subscription and I'll get a box to give away as well.
dealpickle to othen
16 Apr 17#64
Although - last time my Movies pass expired and i went through the cancellation process they offered me four months at £3.99, which was even cheaper than the cheapest 'with box' deal. So always bear in mind that that will sometimes be a cheaper option than buying a new box (though i realise you can make a bit back by selling the box).
tomj17
16 Apr 17#58
Agree - I've bought so many of these and never had an issue. Often buy 6 months worth ahead of movies and never had an issue.

What model is the model number of the box please?
othen
16 Apr 17#65
Well, having done that previously I'd agree up to a point. I finished a 4 month period at a reduced rate (I think £3.99) just last month, before applying the 3 month free pass that came with the new type box I had bought in the meantime. I suppose I could have tried the cancellation scam again, but I thought it unlikely that the company would do it a second time.
I still think this is a pretty good deal, I'm fairly happy with the movie service for a fiver per month.

Netflix doesn't really have the high profile movies that Now TV has or the box sets of high profile network TV shows. Netflix is great but they offer completely different things.
