Kids Channels

pollyanna24

I'd be quite happy with Freeview and this is what I will be putting the kitchen and (maybe) my kids' bedrooms.

But they like Disney Junior and Nick Jr quite a bit (and Cbeebies, but this this is on Freeview?). I don't want the millions channels that also come with Sky in order to get the kids' channels.

is there a cheaper way to get these?

Now TV has three kids channels, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr and Disney Channel. £6.99 per month or cheaper with discounted box offers, currently from £19 or equivalent to £3.17 a month for six months including a new box.

Or bit dearer at Argos but prices vary quite a lot by different sellers:

Thank you very much.

Something else to look into.

Just wish I'd realised that TV, broadband and line rental were all connected, doh!

This looks exactly like what I'm looking for as I don't think I want or need all the channels that come with a Sky package!!

What happens after the six months though? If I want to keep the entertainment package, how much is the subscription?

Ok, I have gone on the Now website and still think I want the entertainment package, but do I get the regular channels with this, like BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel4 and 5?

Its not a freeview box as in you get to watch live TV or at least I don't believe you can.

The box will self destruct Mission Impossible style.

But seriously you pay Now TV £6.99 per month as per post two.

You buy another discounted box and use the vouchers that come with it and either the new box or existing box.

You buy vouchers elsewhere maybe at a discount.

Use the Freeview TV you say you already have or side load TV Catchup on to the Now TV box for the Freeview SD channels over the internet.

It is £6.99 a month.
Or buy a new box and use the voucher from the new box if that works out cheaper.

For example,
A three month voucher is £15, so £5 a month http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-home-entertainment/digital-and-smart-tv/smart-tv/now-tv-entertainment-pass-3-month-10078579-pdt.html
A box with six months is £24.99 so £4.17 a month (plus a box to sell on eBay) http://www.argos.co.uk/beta/static/Product/partNumber/4590602.htm
Or Now TV can just bill your debit card at £6.99 a month if you don't add a voucher.

Ok, so I have to get a Freeview box as well. That's fine, I can do that.

But I thought it had the Disney Junior and Nick Jr channels as live streaming channels?

Can I record on any of these devices?

Doesn't your tv have built in free view?
