    And paying through the nose to boot. There are android apps that give you more sports than you could ever watch, including everything you'd find on sky sports.

    I have never found a reliable, decent quality stream on any platform I have used.

    Now TV allows me to watch rugby and not worry about a stream crashing or watching a pixelated mess.

    Do they not charge something ridiculous like 10 euro just for one day?

    £6.99 for one day or £10.99 for a week.

    It's completely worth it to be able to access the content you want without any contract. Also, remember you don't need any TV subscription at all. So you can have a Saorview/Freesat set-up in your house and only pay an odd time for the sports coverage you want.

    If you want a full Sky Sports subscription you would have to have a basic TV subscription €29 and then pay €35 or so for Sky Sports per month.

    I used to have a Sky Sports subscription that I paid over €40 with UPC (HD included). i only ever watched rugby and maybe some golf, darts etc, which meant I only really watched Sky Sport on Saturday/Sundays. The Now TV service will save me money in the long run.

    Sky Sports on NowTV is not meant as a replacement for a full Sky Sports subscription. It is for those of us that want to be able to dip in and out and watch it on occasion for certain sports. I have been using it on recent Sundays for the American Football and worked really well for the Ryder Cup last year. I will get a weekly pass for the Masters golf in April.

    An added advantage for me is that the picture quality is much better than the standard SD broadcast quality that I would otherwise have for Sky Sports.

    Just to add that I don't use the NowTV box anymore but rather the app on my Apple TV. This frees up a HDMI port on my TV and is one less remote to have to worry about! Having more than one of these also means I can watch sports in another room

    If I purchase three boxes each with a 3 month movie subscription can I activate all three subscriptions and give my self 9 months and the free month of movies?

    Thanks

    I believe so.

    I purchased the 2 sports day passes bundle and the box just contains a scratch card to reveal voucher codes to be used at any time, I think they have a 12 month validity.

    They don't stack unless you activate the next code in the last month of the current subscription.

    The best way would be to activate the free month of movies then on the last day of the free trial, activate the first of the three months of movies then in the third month of this subscription, activate the second code and repeat for the last...

    so, how do most people use it?

    I have VPN Unlimited on mac and ipad.iphone

    Is it a matter of loading onto the device via app store and mirror to apple TV ?

    I have an Airport Extreme as router...

    No need. Create a UK iTunes account. Login to this account on the Apple TV and the NowTV app will automatically appear. Login to the app and away you go!!

    That sounds weird.

    Perhaps try the nowtv forums. Some staff members often monitor it.

    Suggest you contact nowtv directly. I don't think anyone here can help with account issues.

    Hi folks,

    Forgive me if my query has already been answered, there are so many pages on this thread.

    I bought Chromecast (brilliant, by the way) and redemmed the offer on the box for free Now Tv for three months.

    However, I can't get the app on either my Android phone or iPad...is there a geographical restriction? Is there anyway around it?

    Cheers!!

    For the iPad you will have create a UK itunes account which is very easy. No VPN needed.

    Same thing happened to me. Had just signed up last weekend and was using the PS4 app. Then on Monday I get the e-mail that says it's been deactivated. Haven't had a chance to call them about it yet.

    This was the contents of the e-mail:

    "Your NOW TV account has been deactivated. This may have occurred for a number of reasons, including the following:

    1. You have exceeded the maximum number of unsuccessful log-in attempts and, like a bank card, we have deactivated the account for security reasons.
    2. You have requested NOW TV to close your account.

    If you wish to re-activate your account please contact info@nowtv.com

    I got a now tv box today. It comes with 5 day passes for sky sports.
    Can i use these passes without changing dns settings on my router?

    What is the best way to set up this box to best effect? Confused,after looking through this thread and googling.

    Thanks.

    On the remote, press the following...

    Home, Home, Home, Up, Up, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right


    Then, download RarPlex, and navigate to the web address on screen. Upload the file and you're away.
    Install Plex on your computer, add the location of your videos and whatnot, and you're away.

    Eventually got around to getting a uk itunes account to get the now tv app for the iPad. I get the message "the item you tried to buy is no longer available"

    Have I done something wrong in setting up the uk account or has the app been removed?

    App still there, ake sure you are logon with the UK account (prices in pounds), for the message sounds like you are logged on with the Irish account.

    You don't need a uk account just go to iPad settings/iTunes settings/click on your account then change country when it asks for card details click on none you can change it back when you get the app

    Hasn't happened to me. Although worrying if true!

    It would be odd though, given that they allow a ROI billing address on their site.
