    Bear in mind that 1. Still isn't HD streaming and 2. can suffer buffering particularly for major sports occasions eg British Grand Prix!!(in my experience anyway!!)

    Actual is 720P which is HD.


    And I have no issue with buffering, with any of these devices:
    ATV 4K, LG B6, Roku 2, Roku 3500.

    Not mentioned directly but other user "lives away " so limitation could apply

    "Lives away" could be any where , not just the UK so answer "could" be relevant

    To clarify - in England :)

    Then it will be fine on either phone, latptop/tablet, nowtv box or smart TV app if available

    On mobile devices hdmi output is disabled so cannot be connected to a TV

    You seem to be confusing NowTV with Sky Go or the NowTV mobile pass.


    And even if the HDMI was disabled you could cast to a Chromecast.

    The buffering wasn't due to my equipment - I believe it was due to lack of capacity at the NOW TV end - I was talking about a major event -didn't get buffering watching cricket for instance.


    As to quality? May be up to 720p but doesn't look as good as "standard" Sky Sports HD from the box.:)

    I got the F1 season pass earlier this year. As above, 11 channels in 720. I've watched every F1 race this season on it and haven't had any buffering, as well as some football. For me, picture quality is better than SD on the TV and not far off being as good as HD TV channels. I am on 200mb BB from VM.
    I share my account login with my son who lives 130 miles away (within England). I watch it through my TV's app, he watches it on his laptop, often connected to a TV - which can be done for Now TV. Never had any issues. Probably outside the T&C's, but would be difficult to prove I'm doing anything wrong, as they are often at ours, or we at there's, using our own accounts as is allowed. It's quid pro quo for other TV providers as well between us.

    This is allowed. Now TV told me I can do this over the phone a while back.

    Sport looks poor on NowTV because the refresh rate is only 25 fps.
