We currently have Sky TV package and Netflix streamed through Xbox, We pay for ultra HD package on Netflix which is brilliant quality for just a normal standard broadband.
We are coming to the end of Sky contract and to be honest only use MTV, Sky 1, Sky Atlantic and Fox channels so really tempted to go with Now TV - They have a deal - I think £99 for the full year upfront payment for entertainment, Box sets / cinema which seems a fabulous deal - However I am wondering about the streaming quality - Is it really bad and if so is there an option to pay a higher price for HD quality?0 -

You can’t get HD but I find the PQ to be excellent on NowTV streamed through my smart LG TV with very little buffering. I’m on VM 50meg BB.
That deal seems really good.0 -

Hi
Just cancelled my sky and was thinking of getting Now TV but looking at information I'm a bit confused and wondering if it really is cheaper than sky.
How do you record things to watch later? Or do I now need another device to do that?
What is the Smart Now TV? Does that just mean broadband is included as well?0 -
NowTV doesn't allow you to record. It's streaming only.
The Smart Box is a faster Now TV box but is chunkier and allows you to pause and rewind live TV and also gain access to the Freeview channels - both features aren't available on the cheaper box which is just a basic streamer.0 -

If you want more traditional viewing of Sky channels together with recording, but want the possibility of saving money, then the Talktalk TV service has a small Sky bundle for £5 extra (on top of the basic TV/Fibre BB price). I understand that The Talktalk box can record the Sky channels it receives over the Internet.0 -
Thank you - I'll look into that. I've just wasted about an hour with Now TV's chat and based on their customer service alone I'm not sure I want to buy anything from them.0

If you wanted to watch a tv programme like game of thrones and you were going out for the evening - could you just watch it when you wanted later that night or the next morning?
Or do you need a freesat box to record it (and will it record it?)0 -
