    Which do you think you would watch most of ?

    You can alternate between the 2.

    yep all depends on what you enjoy watching, for me it would be the movies, for my step daughter its the entertainment

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Seriously dumb question?...

    Do you want to watch a choice of ~1000 movies for a month ?

    OR

    Do you want to watch premium tv with lots of adverts available live and with "on demand box sets" too?

    You can have either or both with NowTV.

    Agree it is dependent on what you like to watch.


    I have the entertainment pass, it is good. The catch up service has many of the live TV channels is good. There are adverts in the live TV programs, though this would be true of those channels however you access them. However in the catch up service/ on demand service, there are no adverts. You can tell when there would have been an advert, but these are not shown. You can search by category or for specific programs.


    For info. You can often get a box with a certain number of months included in the price.


    You will pay less is you buy a voucher e.g .

    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    If you are already on a discounted pass (my initial 3 months came with my box) can you just buy another like the 5 month pass detailed above and apply it to your account to stop the £6.99 monthly renewal kicking in?

    Yes you can apply another pass. You can apply a pass a few days before your current pass expires. I have done so a few times without hassle. You just go to the apply pass option and apply the pass.

    Not saying this is going to work for everybody but a good chance it will for those who have a Sky Nowtv box and currently in trial for the movie package.


    My trial month was almost up, so went into my account to cancel. When I clicked cancel another webpage came up showing me the upcoming movies and asking do I really want to cancel.
    I clicked cancel again and another page came up with all the retention offers which were.
    1 £7.99 per mth instead of £9.99
    2 3 months for one off fee of £20.99
    3 5 month for one off fee of £32.99 which I took which reduces it to £6.60 a month instead of £9.99.


    Got the entertainment package as well which came with box so interested to know what they offered you if you threatened to cancel as well? Mine doesn't run out until april and I do have a voucher for 3 mths after that.

    I had the 3 month chromecast offer which runs out next month. Thought i'd cancel and buy a pass from Game which works out at £5 a month.

    Went through 2 cancellation screens and the last one offered me 4 months @ £3.49 a month, i took it :)

    Can you post the places online or in the shops where I can get the best offers for the Movie Pass. I already have a Now TV box which has just been installed. :beer:
