I have not got a chance to check it, but I am told the full NowTV UK service is working again in Ireland. Has anyone else noticed this?

AHHHH FFS!!!

I just went out and paid for 12 months of a VPN to ensure continued use.

Ya, I suppose. And Netflix no longer seems to be blocking VPNs either, as i happily and accidentally discovered. A golden lining:o

It came back a couple of days ago. Thought it was something I did trying to set up my VPN.
Enjoy it while it lasts I suppose. Can't see them letting it go if they are still trying to flog the expensive Irish version.

I see there's a Special Offer on the Nowtv.ie site. A month of Sky Sports for €25.00. It might be worth it if they kept it at that price, but of course the t's & c's say its for a month and only SS 1 & 2.

Where did you buy? I was just looking into getting one from amazon, bit odd that a UK box wouldn't work in Ireland!

Sky have apparently tightened this up to prevent people using UK accounts/boxes to get the packages cheaper.

Thread over in Online TV about it.

I think there are a few posts on this a few weeks ago. It is likely that Now TV set up the Irish service to prevent people buying the boxes in Ireland and then purchasing cheaper UK passes. So it looks like Irish box with Irish account and Irish passes only and then same for the UK.

Soooo... good news is that the UK service is up and running again... the bad news is that I can't access my UK account to upload new passes, or check when my existing passes are out of date. When i try and log into now tv account, it's forcing me to go to the Irish login page.

Strangely, i can log in and it has my very basic info in the Irish log-in, but nothing is there about my passes, payment details etc. I suppose that's a good thing from a data protection point of view but not much help from a not paying the monthly subscription charge by mistake POV!

Anyone any advise on how to force myself onto the right version of the log-in without recourse to a VPN\DNS service? I know that's an option but i wondered if someone had a clever bypass. cheers

There's a link at the bottom of the page that says "go to UK site", that should do it.

So, having an issue related to the recent introduction of Irish nowtv.

Have been using UK version for years, bought sports month pass six weeks ago but I CANNOT login to cancel it or stop it rolling over.

I notice I am obviously being directed to the Irish site now it's available and I can login BUT once logged in I get error messages everytime I go to check payment details or my passes.. Basically I seem to have no way to cancel! Anyone got an email for them?

Edit: I see the answer was a few posts above! Disregard!

So for someone looking to pick this up now is it worthwhile buying a UK version or is it too much of a risk with the geo blocking?
