    If you check out the Now TV forum, you'll get an idea of which shows will not be available as they post a daily list.

    Most are available though via live stream, catch up or both. Repeats tend to be live only.

    Different networks have different expiry periods. The majority of Fox shows are 7 days whereas others can be 30.

    Is it the same time as aired on Sky?

    Just to quickly answer this question, the Live TV streams provided by NowTV are the same broadcasts you see with a Sky Box so yes, the times are the same. The only thing you have to watch out for is the odd show (they're quiet incommon) they aren't allowed to stream for whatever reason.

    I've just turned my tv into a smart tv for less than £10! I had been using my old Wii to access BBC iplayer on my tv, but the following gives you iplayer in HD - a considerably better picture:

    Order a NowTV box for £9.99 at www.nowtv.com but when ordering click on 'continue without account.'

    When it arrives, plug it in, follow the set-up instructions, and when it asks for your account details, go to www.nowtv.com (do it on your computer) and create an account for the movies deal, with your email address, a username and password. When you get to the billing page click on 'cancel', and you will see that you still have the option to log out, therefore you are still logged in even though you have not set up a payment......

    Go back to the setup of the NowTV box on your tv, enter your username and password. You can now use your box for BBC iplayer, demand 5, BBC news, Sky news, Spotify (if you have a premium account) and several others. So for £9.99 you have turned your tv into a smart TV. It's a no-brainer!

    And if you want Sky movies anytime, you can sign up at that point.
    :)
    I've had mine for a few months. I had it delivered all for only a tenner
    I'm very happy with it as now you can do so much more...
    It has all the catchup tv channels, Spotify, and now as a new addition, You tube
    The great tghing with youtube is you can control it from a laotop/pc/tablet which is much easier to use than its built in one.
    Its always been easy to use
    I have a few niggles which for only a tenner I'm prepared to put up with

    Now I'm trying to buy one for a friend
    She doesnt want all the extras, only iplayer and other catchups
    I cant seem to find it anywhere for a tenner anymore. Nowtv themselves and all other sources say "Sold out"
    Does that mean the £10 one is over for good

    Has anyone any inside info on this
    I'd love to know

    But I can't find one either -

    Currently unavailable.
    We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

    Are they? Really? Try it 1005922 and see... I couldn't do it.
  • Yes they do as I've just logged in and was able to take it all the way to the payment screen with no issues at all, no out of stock messages at all

    The £4.99 was only ever a trial price, and they've put off a rise a couple of times already.

    When I first got it my opinion was it was worth the price and no more.

    Now with so much more content and program availability I won't hesitate to keep my subscription going at the new price.
