Now TV offer

Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to give you one last chance to get 4 months of Sky Sports for just £20 a month. That’s over 40% off the usual price and a saving of over £55.

Grab our exclusive £20 per month Sky Sports Month Pass offer and we’ll bring you the very best action from the Premier League and the Championship. The Premier League kicks off this Friday when the Gunners and Foxes go head to head in the opener, followed by 3 more live Premier League games over the weekend.

All the title challengers are live on Sky Sports in the season’s early exchanges and they’ve splashed the cash this summer to get ahead of their rivals. Last year Chelsea got off to a flier. Will any of the big guns repeat this trick?

So, what are you waiting for? Four months of Sky Sports will also give you access to F1, Test Cricket and the Autumn Rugby Internationals. Hurry you only have until 23:59 on 15 August 2017 to redeem this amazing offer. Once your offer ends, the action keeps rolling at £33.99 per month, or cancel anytime.
 
Cheers Sniffer - I may very well do this.
 
I've signed up. They're generally good when you cancel so I'm hoping that I may get another deal afterwards.
 
I got a free month trial of prime recently and when I cancelled they gave me another month, wonder how long I can keep that going :D

Signed up as well. For some reason I played Battlefield 4 instead of watching Arsenal v Leicester though.
 
Talk talk are doing a deal for broadband sky sports and sky movies on uswitch £33ish.

I went to cancel this earlier as it was due to run out on the 11th December. I went to the end of the process of cancelling and got offered the chance to extend the deal at £20 per month for the next three months. Thats my Friday 15th and Saturday the 30th of December sorted. :icon_smile:
 
I’ll do the same myself later, nice one mate.
 
34 feckin quid, wowzerz.
 
To resurrect a dead thread - I'm thinking of getting rid of sky and just using Now TV occasionally. How do people find it? Is it reliable?

I'd rather not get another tv box, so am thinking of using a chromecast too - anyone using now tv via Chromecast?

Currently paying £75 for all the sky channels, phone and bb, but the deal is ending soon and we really don't watch enough to even justify the cost of the TV package.
 
I went the other way and subscribed to Sky after using Now TV for a few months. I think the interface of Sky is worth that little bit more, and as I'm at home with the kids I find that I'm watching far more TV than I used to.

Now TV is okay, if you don't watch much but want the main entertainment packages I'd say it's worth it. Can you use Now TV with any of the devices you currently have?
 
It depends what you want to watch I suppose.

We're with Sky (we also have a Now TV box) but as I currently have 60% off my current package I know Sky will put the price up in the summer when my deal expires. We don't watch any live TV apart from the kids channels and only ever really use the Sky Box Sets or On Demand stuff.

We've never had any issues with the Now TV box so I think in the summer I'll invest in one of their boxes that allows you to pause & rewind etc (about £30) then I'll just get the Entertainment package and the Kids package and that should do us. It's all month by month anyway so easy to cancel and switch back to Sky when they inevitably start bombarding you with deals to come back to them.

We have a Chromecast too but haven't ever used it for Now TV, we just use it for casting YouTube or Netflix when we had it. Works fine though.
 
Thanks both.

Much like TDan we watch virtually no live TV, outside of the free channels - even the kids are pretty much exclusively on demand now with CITV, CBBC, Netflix & Amazon.. We occasionally watch some of the sky box sets, but even then most of our on demand stuff is not Sky. I just can't justify the cost of Sky for a good viewing experience - we have Nvidia Shields in most rooms and these do live TV and all the on demand apart from Now TV (but it is a chromecast too).

Had these thoughts last time, but sky grabbed us back in with 50% off - but the problem is we're still paying 50% for something we don't use much!
 
My wife was born deaf(lucky being married to me, lets get that out of the way) so needs subtitles. The on demand services for sky often dont have them whereas netflix and amazon prime do. I have a sky package but no movies. I use netflix and prime for those. I watch vertually no live TV and very little terrestrial TV. I prefer to bing watch things rather than wait. Now TV was a shocker for subtitles so didnt work for us I am afraid.

That's really poor from sky/nowTV. Surprised at a company these days not doing subtitles.

Surprised at this as it's a legal requirement for UK broadcasters to have subtitles (and audio description) for a significant percentage of their content. I can't remember what the numbers were as it's ten years since I worked in the subtitles business but the media access regulations were only getting stronger. I know Sky spend a huge amount on their subtitles, so I'm surprised that they don't have them across all their platforms. That said, the media landscape has changed beyond all recognition since I left so maybe the regulations are platform specific.

The regs seem only to apply to live or scheduled programmes. On demand counts as a recording so dodges it! Currently going through as an amendment but prior to February 2017 VOD services were regulated by a body called ATVOD - who had no legal power to compel providers to produce any accessible on demand content, which meant that a lot of it - around 76% - isn't subtitled. https://www.choose.co.uk/guide/subtitles-get-the-best-tv-service.html full details here

It's likely that each on demand service will have to meet set quotas, and it'll take some time for the effects of the new rules to come in.
 
Isn't NOW TV just the same content as appears on Sky? So what's been subtitled for Sky will be available to put on NOW, which isn't a huge technological challenge. Shoddy stuff.

Agreed. Even you tube or rogue streaming sites do better than that. Gets my wife foaming at the gils!
