You're aware that Sky Atlantic is only available through a Sky box or NowTV?

Now TV at £6,99 a month and a freesat or freeviee PVR is a no brainer.

If I get freesat or freeview - would I be getting now just for sky Atlantic? I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to record on the now box - so I'd have to watch it live.

I've got Netflix.

That's entirely up to you. Cost is likely to be the same for both.



Apart from a few exclusive channels (on both platforms), they are identical. It's Freeview, not Freeaerial, by the way.

Is the picture better on either type?
My Ariel is old as the hills, I've never used it. It might mean a whole new Ariel & cabling down. The sky dish is just the lnb. I wish I'd never got sky q!!!!!!!

There is no discernible difference.

Only you can decide which one you have the work done on. How old is your dish?

Yes. Netflix doesn't have Sky Atlantic.

Also note that Now TV is not currently available in HD, if that's important to you.

NowTV also requires a connection to Broadband.

Sky installed a new one last Saturday as part of the q upgrade.

I think I might get less channels with freeview, as freesat says 200 & for freeview their is a postcode checker & I got 76.

Someone told me game of thrones is on Netflix - just a little delayed.

It will be long delayed, it's a Sky Atlantic exclusive and will be for (at least) years to come.

No need for sarcasm - I just believed what a colleague told me. They have Netflix - they obviously made a mistake.
