Thanks. Basic re the set top box. Don't need HD or ability to record. Just want to run Netflix through it.

I use a ps3 and a wii to watch netflix on. Wii's look cheap on ebay having a quick look. You can watch iplayer on it too, but not nowtv yet.

Does the Now TV box not have a Netflix app then?

Also should have mentioned we have no satellite dish only a standard aerial.

Thanks.

Being from Sky that's…unlikely.

Also not sure about "modification" via internet..

Anyone else amused when people use lower case letters for nowt v ?

I know this already. The question was if the nowt v box came pre-loaded with a Netflix app. It doesn't
Still not sure about "modification"

Do you know anyone with Amazon prime, that lives in the '2 hour' delivery zone? If they've never used it before, there's a £10 discount code floating around.

You'd then order a Fire TV stick for £25 (after discount). I've got a Chromecast, Fire TV Stick and Apple TV - the stick gets my vote every time.

the now TV box is a Roku box that is made in white and flashed with Sky,s own software.


a std Roku box can use Netflix and is a "app" available from Roku




in order to use a Roku branded box in black , you just plug it in , however you have to spend 5 mins reflashing the software to the std Roku stuff if you want to use the white "sky" branded one




sky subsidise the boxes they sell ,

Only Sky could take a Roku box and then cripple it.
