    One tip is if you have a Gmail address you can simply put a space in it and it will get accepted as a new signup and email will still go to your proper Gmail account.

    Great deal for a stick that supports all the major streaming services

    Amazon Prime Video?

    They are finally adding Prime to Sky Q so it might be on Now TV sticks eventually.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Per IETF rules, spaces aren't permitted in email addresses unless within quotes. Most websites have a built in logic check facility that will refuse any unbounded space as invalid.
    You probably mean "period"? You can use a dot anywhere you feel like in a Gmail address as long as it's before the @ symbol.

    I think the NowTV app becoming available on the Firestick is the big one. The NowTV stick doesnt have the iPlayer and has less app options. With the NowTV app coming on the firestick, it pretty much gives you everything.

    When i sign into my nowtv account on the firestick it doesnt show my passes

    Do you need to purchase a stick separately to use this offer.
    Never used now TV before, but as my internet has improved, I was thinking of getting this for over the Christmas

    The links to Argos include a Now TV stick and the passes. Often it can be cheaper to buy a bundle on offer with a stick than the passes on their own.

    To watch Now tv you don't actually need a stick though. You can watch on a phone/tablet or cast from it to a tv if you have a chromecast etc. Its well worth it, especially over the Christmas period where most people will we watching more tv.

    Can anyone figure out if this offer actually has any packs bundled?

    https://www.harveynorman.ie/tvs-headphones/tv-and-audio-accessories/internet-tv-boxes/now-tv-smart-stick-roi-multipass-hayu.html

    It looks like it does from the descripton but nothing in the details about what bundle (if any) is included :confused:

    They are claiming it was €50 now down to €24, but I dunno, it might just be the stick without any packs included.

    I got the exact same one is Dunnes a while back, also at 25 euro. I can confirm that it comes with 1 month of each type of pass, excluding the sports one, that one is only a week pass

    Is Now TV something you can cancel after the 2 months, or scale back...or is it a 12 month contract?

    There are two separate Android apps for the UK and Irish services so I assume the app that's now appeared on the Firestick is for the UK service only. Are prices on it displayed in £?

    No contract :)

    Often, when you go to cancel, they'll try to entice you with another offer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,592 ✭✭✭davehey79


    Tesco also have some on sale (may be limited stock)
    €30 for the NowTV stick with all sports for a month (Sky/BT Bundle)
    I got in Longford store

    Is your Amazon account set as UK-based?

    Hopefully if if it's set as Irish, then the Irish Now TV app will install on the Firestick. Then just need to extract the APK, set your Amazon account back to UK and manually install the Irish Now TV app back onto the Firestick. Although actually I think, once installed, the Irish app should remain on the Firestick if you change back to the UK (or another country).

    Must dig out my Firestick and have a look later!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,418 ✭✭✭billbond4


    I think it's setup as uk
    Looking at my orders this is the now TV app

    I was talking to someone earlier about the Now TV stick & that the Amazon Prime app would be on it next year, he said he updated his & it's on it.

    I just did an app search on mine & it's on my TV Now stick, it's setup now & working :cool:

    I got this exact one from Harvey Norman and it comes preloaded with 1 Month Entertainment Pass, 1 Month Sky Cinema Pass, 1 Month Kids Pass and 1 Week Sky Sports Pass

    or googlemail instead of gmail works too, as do a . anywhere in the address also
