Anyone else got some thoughts on Now TV I just don’t get it?

Absolutely brilliant mate, an honest personal review, from a real person, cut right to the chase on every one of the points I was viewing the video for, didn't need to watch any further videos on the topic, that addressed everything.

The thing I’ve found with Now TV is it’s the sort of thing you dip in and out of depending on the content you want to watch. For me I don’t see the point of paying £30+ each month for sky Stream or even Sky Q just for the odd thing I want to watch on Sky. I would rather subscribe to Now Tv every now and again and binge the couple of shows I want to watch. It’s not the sort of thing you would pay every single month for unlike Sky where you are paying for the complete package and the convenience of having it all in the one place. Another well put together video though, I’m really enjoying your channel.

You’ve just earned a subscriber good video 👍 I’ve currently got Sky Q and with my broadband included it’s roughly £63 a month that’s just entertainment and HD but we don’t watch a lot of the channels so I feel like I’m wasting money. I’m currently in contract until end of January. Do you reckon something like sky stream would be worth it to save money? Or Apple TV etc? Cheers

I'm completely going through some of the same things you are lol. I'm trying to find the best music streaming service and can't decide between Spotify,apple or the likes of tidal. I have the Sky Stream on free trial till the end of January and it's completely thrown me off. As my TV is android so has most of the apps I need. I actually purchased a Roku as wanted to be able to mirror my imac to it (i recently switched to a samsung fold 0hone so still kind of in the apple eco system apart from the phone lol) and then started liking the roku and its interface and the quality. I was getting hdr 10+ on amazon prime. I did have the apple tv box at some point aswell lol. But now especially with all the football I'm loving just using sky stream and all the apps work so well. SkyVIP is giving 6 months apple tv at the moment. But there's something about the sky stream box that I just can't get my head around and it might just be me but the picture quality is unbelievable just amazing throughout the entire interface and the apps and the actual content all very high quality and it enables me to watch normal TV and "record" and the remote lights up. Its becoming my fav all in one device for my TV needs. So come January ill need to decide if I cam pay the £29 a month. I have the Ultra HD add on but there's a little small print that says it's only for the Sky shows. Tbh I don't watch many sky shows. Normally Netflix,Disney apple and KZfaq. So I might get away with just 29 a month as ultra HD should still.work in other apps. Also NOW TV. Omg there is a huge problem with it. And that it's not 4k. So when you pay for boost you paying for 1080p which in 2022 shouldn't be a thing.

Appreciate your videos mate. I'm changing over to sky stream and ditching sky q as i need 4k sky mini boxes in 3 rooms and sky's mini boxes are only HD, only the main box is 4k. My only concern is that I need a way of being able to record on the sky stream puck, do you know of a workaround? Cheers!

Never knew NOW tv was that bad so thanks for the review - think I will stick with sky stream plus my other streaming services

Very good review of the Now tv versus Sky Stream. I appreciate the obvious time and effort. I will probably look to go down the same route as you - Sky Stream and Apple tv. As you say, you get what you pay for and I don’t think Now tv is worth the extra money on-top of the other subscriptions. With regards to Amazons Freevee, the movies and ‘normal’ programs do contain adverts, which can be very annoying, especially the movies. Tends to be older stuff too. Thanks again

Hi how does the now tv play on Apple TV do you. Think it’s gets a better picture thanks Gary

I think there are a couple of things missed. You went into the entertainment live tv bit but that is not the main thing the £9.99 is for. It a bit like Netflix, if you had gone into the entertainment section it would have been full of box sets, which is the main point. You do get offers if you cancel like you said, I’m currently on £6.99. I just want to get everything in I’m not saying now tv is better. I really want stream and would get it except for what I’m reading about adverts. From what I get you pay the extra to skip them in stream but even in the box sets you are taken out of the show and have to take action to skip, taking you out of the moment. On Now tv boost removes the adverts altogether. I’m still on the fence with stream, if only the ads could be removed for that extra you have to pay. Your points about boost are also maybe a bit unfair as sky stream now charge 6 quid to get better picture and sound and 5 quid to skip ads, so that is an 11 quid premium. Just my thoughts, like I said I like the look of stream and your videos have shown it off well. I will probably switch to it, it’s just the thought of ads pulling me out of the moment 😊

I have had Now TV for many years and it is a lot cheaper with a deal if you can find a code online. I got the Entertainment Pass for £3.99 and HD Boost for £2. Sky Cinema for £4.99 and Sky Sports for £20. It is best for Box Sets with out the hassle of Fast Forwarding. It is also portable unlike Sky Stream that is linked to one address so it can be used in British Hotels and Student Halls. I do like the range of channels on Sky Stream but if you cancel nothing is available and a lot of these channels are on Freeview already.

Find sky go really useful when out and want to watch live sport, and works well if you can mirror it to a smart tv in someone’s house who doesn’t have Sky Sports. Great review as always mate!

I remember when I was a Sky TV customer, the recordable feature is what sparked my interest and the fact that you retain the free to air channels long after the package contact was up was a bonus for as long as the sky dish was working properly, my sky dish was constantly bombarded by strong winds till eventually I opted to go with Virgin Media, however, Virgin Media box has a static disc hard drive which can degrade over time so I was given the Virgin Media Streaming box complimentary for being a long-term customer, Virgin Media Streaming is quite reasonable but doesn't have as many channels as Sky Streaming, but then again the Virgin Media Streaming is for free, there are no monthly subscriptions other than the optional add ons, and yes, the Virgin Media streaming puc only works if your a Virgin Media home broadband customer...

I want to hire him in strreaming but I decline my credit card, I live in Mexico Do you know why my Mastercard declined?

Yeah Now TV is a rip of at full price, but most of use using Now aint paying full price like myself. Got 3 months offer on entertainment for £15 and same on Movies at £15 for 3 months. Got a free month of boost. Canceled boost and offered it me at £2 month over 3 months. Grand total £12 a month :D And that allows kids in other rooms to watch it aswell. When you look at that its far better value than stream. But yeah if you want everything in one place and you watch alot of live stuff, stream is more likely the better option.

loving this thumbnail 👌

The sky go app is good if your away for home also if your out somewhere you can record program on your sky box through the app

Hey Steve following your Apple TV video I have now ditched sky stream at £67 a month and replaced with now to at 12 for tv and movies for 6 months. Add the £5 for boost or cancel to get offers and this is a big saving. Yes I will miss the way stream brings the Tv guide altogether but like you we mainly stream now. Plus the TV Launcher app for a one of f cost starts to make the Apple TV a winner

The other thing about now tv is if you buy the boost you can have up to 3 people stream at the same time so can watch in 2 different rooms without having to pay £15 for multi room like u do from sky. And the 3 streams dont have to be in the same house hold so share the cost

I am currently paying £4.99 a month for the entertainment package for 2 months , it's good value for money as the kids package is also included . When you try to cancel they offer you deals to stay with them

Great vid as alwasys. Be careful about showing screenshots with your email address in, there are plenty of crazies out there. Generally I use Sky Go on my commute as I can download stuff in advance onto my ipad or even stream for free as I have Sky Mobile. I have Stream and it is definately overpriced compared to Now, as many say including Andy from Clever with Your Cash, they rarely pay full price on an ongoing basis. I don't see there being any similar offerings soon from Stream especially as they have the 18 month contract. For me Stream is the convenience of not having to switch between 'sticks' to watch different content, however not sure that is worth £26 vs £9.99 for NOW given the Sky content is the same between them.

I really like Sky Stream, I just wish the puck was as fast as Apple TV. I’d happily pay for it as an app on Apple TV.

The only advantage of NOW TV paired sky stream is with sky stream. You have got to have the entertainment package before you can add anything else. Where is NOW TV if you want just the movies, you can just get the movies or just get the sport.

You seem mistaken as to the content on now tv. Yes there are 12 sky live channels and 12 live movie channels but you also get 300+ box sets and 600+ movies on demand, exactly the same as the sky go app. OK the screen quality is better on sky glass, but now tv is a lot cheaper. I get now tv entertainment and movies both for £8 pm for 12 months.

Currently have NOW 4pounds a month for 12months and boost for 2pounds pm. Without boost I admit picture is not so good. For what I watch on it it's good. Wouldn't pay full price.

Now TV does give you 720p HD in the basic subscription. The boost upgraded it to 1080p. Now TV has always been a budget offering for customers sky wouldn’t have previously attracted. It’s good for bingeing shows sky has the rights to, but not as good value as Netflix, prime or Disney +

I cancelled sky q last week to cancel in January. I would rather do in n out of now tv. I have Freesat box and Apple TV I use freesat most only app it doesn’t have is now tv that’s where I use the Apple TV. I would rather stay like this than pay over £40 a month.

No surround sound on Now through Apple TV, even with Boost. Kids is also included with the £9.99 Entertainment pack. But yes… £9.99 for that offering is ridiculous.

Hi Rate My Tech I for got to tell you on nowtv if you payed for the Now Tv Entertainment package you get the kids package for free now like sky stream does. and how meany sky tv channel you can watch in one everning more SKY channel more more more dam adverts in my eyes on a paid TV service there should be any adverts on every sky tv package thxs

What is your favourite streaming service?

Have nowtv ultrahd

Brother i am your big fan can i get a now tv account From you❤️😁

Hi Rate My Tech I enjoyed your video about sky tv & now tv. Did you no NowTv is own by SKY TV I have had Now Tv for 4 years now been happy because if you cancel a now tv package they offer you like a discount of movies or entertainment like 6 months half price. depend what offer Now Tv at the time of you cancel at that time. and you can cancel any package time. Now Tv you don't have to be in a contract. like skyTv you have to be in a contract like over 12 months or more. You mention about Sky Go thats in a subscripton through the older Sky HD boxs what every what SKY HD package you pay for is what you get on SKY GO streaming services. Iam not in favour with not getting SKY Stream or Sky Glass because people are been forced to pay more to have a internet connection to use sky stream & sky glass thats a another bill to pay out for to watch sky stream or sky glass not every one has not have money to keep paying for TV Stream service. not like the satellite service is for free. I have a IP TV streaming services that has every thing on it like movies sport kids and on Demand & get channel around the world to. I just pay £15.00 month using android boxs. here is the IP TV boxs I got . www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07JVF8FZ3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then down load iview HD at you play store I hope I have been helpfull Plz keep up the gd work take care
