Now TV stick 3 months pass activate

SeeMe

When i sign up and give payment details etc, can i choose when to activate the pass or will it activate the day i sign up? i also have a 1 day sports pass on the stick.

You just sign up with an email address you can pop the voucher code in later. Don't expect too much to happen until you do though

If its pre loaded I would hazard at a guess that it would start the day you activate it.

You could ask on the chat option on the Now tv website.

No. As it's preloaded, you need to enter the code on the TV screen into your account on the web page given. That will then add the two vouchers to your account, you need to redeem them to get the pass(es) when you want to use them.

Thats sounds what i want but have found this which only states a month pass so a bit confusing.
Also i have no account at present.

Can I save my Pass for later?


If you have one of our Month Passes, it'll start right away. But if you've got a Sky Sports Day or Week Pass you can choose to start it any time that suits you, within a year of purchase. When you’re ready to start your 24 hours or 7 days of sport, just start watching and your Pass will activate automatically.

They won't start until you redeem them. I put a preloaded stick passes onto my account and started the Entertainment pass a few days later and the day Sports pass will be used near the end of March.


Anyway you need to set-up an account first.

Ok thanks.
I will set up an account after plugging the stick in the TV, follow the guide to set up online through my PC and the code given on the TV should match my new account hopefuly.

OP, easiest way is to just go onto their webpage and create an account. You will then have log in details. When you connect the stick to the TV, you will be asked to log in with those details. Up until that point, Now TV won't know you have a free month pass, so it won't activate before then. Once you give them the pass code, it would normally commence from then for the monthly pass. The day passes have to be purchased then activated normally, so your free day pass can be activated whenever you want.
Top tip - before your free passes expire, go to cancel the service, let it ask if you're sure a couple of times, then they'll offer you 3 or 4 months at half price for entertainment package, movies is normally 3 or 4 months at reduced rate but can vary. You will also get pass offers from time to time via email.

I have a 3 month pass but still confused if it activates straight away on sign up, or redeem when i want.
When i look to create an account online before i plug the stick in the TV, it says choose your package but i don't need one as its pre loaded on the stick.

All done and ready to redeem when needed.
I carried out the procedure in my post 8 and it worked a charm.
