Nowtv with no pass

Options
I switched to nowtv from Sky a few months ago & my entertainment pass expires next month. What I'm not clear about is what if anything I can access through my nowtv stick without a valid pass, do I still have access to streamed catch up services etc?
The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    https://help.nowtv.com/article/do-i-need-active-pass-to-use-now-tv-box-stick - "If you cancel all your Passes, you can still use your NOW TV Box or Smart Stick to access most of the extra channels and apps that are available, including catch-up channels such as BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.  You won’t be able to use the Sky Sports News HQ app without an active Pass.  You can’t watch NOW TV’s on-demand movies and shows or the live channels if you cancel your Passes.  However, you can still buy on-demand movies through your NOW TV Box or Smart Stick using the Sky Store app. "

    Make sure you cancel before renewal in the last month and you should get an offer.

    Paying £1.60pm for entertainment till April with my last offer, not had a decent movie offer this year.

    As above, go into your account and passes, go to cancel it when there's less than a month to go, and they should offer you a reduced deal after a few goes of trying to ask if you are sure you wan to cancel. I got movies for 12 months for about £69 - a few months ago now though. Sports keep popping up at £19.99 per month.

    Referring to your original question we have a couple of Now tv devices without any contract and get access to BBC iplayer, ITV hub, Channel 4 (All4) and Channel 5 plus YouTube and a few other channels we never look at.
