Now TV Smart Stick.

I think I am going to be tempted to buy one of these when they become available to buy..

I already have an Amazon Fire Stick which I find excellent, but the Now Stick means I'll be able to purchase individual football matches without having to sunscribe to Sky Sports or BT. I know this is already possible with the "Now" service, but there is something which is just so handy and user friendly about a hdmi stick, plus the cost looks like it will be very competitive.

Thanks for that, great spot!

I will wait for the 1080P version, already have a NOWTV box. Sky are of course planning to take all their services online:

- which should be OK for those with good and stable download speeds.

All the NOW TV boxes and this stick apart from the white box are 1080P capable it's just NOW TV not sending out 1080P currently.

The voice search on this stick is not very good and the memory is limited, the black boxes are better value but not a stick format.

Can not tell if these have an Ethernet port in the pictures, are they WiFi only?

Stick is, boxes are both wired and wireless.

Just to be awkward - doesn't this tie you to NowTV? Why not get a device which supports other providers? e.g. Roku, Chromecast etc
