Doesn't really matter once your name and PMID are on it in the top two lines of the address

Ordered Monday via PM - collected it this AM.
Lovely piece of kit - connected no bother to the plex server I set up during the week.

For once the missus is actually impressed by some tech

I'm with soarer on this -

I have a sky hd box, with free movies and sports till December.
I have an xbox and apple tv that manage the pc streaming and netflix.
My av receiver can stream spotify if i could be arsed.
My blu-ray player could in theory do most or all but the ui is ****e.
so I don't really need this do I?

Mind you, I do need a new hdmi cable.

Did you install the lite version or a full version? I'm trying the lite but it won't pick up the nowtv box, even after manually adding it. Keeps reverting to apple tv (wont work to that, either!).

Installed the PlayTo app on my Galaxy Note and on the Now TV box.
Using my phone I can play media from my home Plex server directly on the Now TV box.
So the movie is going
Plex server -> Phone -> Now TV box

Missed out on the €15 offer.
Have the box sitting here and am lode to pay 8.99.

If anyone finds a similar off please post?

Q: would the PS3 90 offer work?

I've tried from plex server and from my readynas but my problem is that playto on phone isn't picking up playto on the now tv, if that makes sense.

Is there a way to install Netflix on this? Also is it possible to steam something like star sports or liveonlinefooty?

Anyone know if DNS changes are possible on UPC supplied Thomson TWG 870?

I had to tap on the screen icon on the top RHS and add it manually via IP address.

I've since bought the paid version of the Android app.

So much tech fun for a tenner !!

what's the exact name of that app?

It's worth mentioning that Now TV seems to be geo-locked now (only got the box on Friday, and no films are opening - all give a 6009 error). I've tried setting an unotelly UK DNS on the router, but no joy. Films won't open on mac/PC either.

Still working perfectly here with the Box and PC aswell (Balbriggan, VF eFibre)

Try logging out and back in to your nowtv account

Hmm - just noticed that I'd used a different account for the £15 deal - my month trail account is working fine, but can't get the other account to work, despite logging out and back in a few times. I've emailed them and asked that the subscription be transferred - we'll see how that goes down.

Ok, bought one.

Delivery address just says
PM******
Parcel Motel 1A McKinney Road
Newtownabbey
Co Antrim
BT364PE


No name though, do they put the billing name on or even without name will PM still put it through?

EDIT: Damn you OP! €11.94 was charged to my CC, not €11.89. I think I'll cancel it now, far too expensive

Anyone got dns settings for upc technicolour router?

Collected mine from PM on Friday and bought the £15 deal last weekend. My better half thinks it is great with the movies for the next 6 months the 1st time ever that she likes a new gadget I got. So happy days
Thanks OP for the heads up on this and to the OP for the 6 months movies

It's NBC that have the US rights to EPL games.

Is there any extra charge for movies, apart from the £2.50 for the first six months, also is plex on App Store ?
Nice little box for £10.

Nope that's all you pay per month. And there is an app for Plex but it's around €4.49.
