NowTV Box(Roku LT) - £10.00 inc (€11.89) new model £14.99

Putting the PM number in the house name went perfectly for me just 3 weeks ago when I ordered my second box.

I used the Nowtv site .

Maybe its changed recently.

that's brilliant, they also have it for the same £12.50 price (€25 delivered inc. Parcel Motel cost) with either the one day sports pass (which is ALWAYS terrible value imho) and a 3 month movie pass too!

1 day sports: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1386039.htm

3 month movie: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1338829.htm

although for some reason the movie one is unavailable for delivery atm even though it's in stock.

So essentially this would allow Me to have Sky in another room?

I recently got a Chromecast so would this be any use to me?

Is the Movies pass just Sky Movies?

Yes and no.

It's a streaming box, similar to a chromecast but designed specifically to stream sky content (sports, movies or entertainment, depending on the subscription).

It's completely separate and independent of any sky subscriptions you may already have and it can't play any content you might have saved on your Sky+ box.

If you run a plex media server from a PC or NAS, you can sideload that onto the NowTV box to stream tv and movies you have already downloaded your PC even without a NowTV subscription, so the box isn't completely useless without one although as everything from NowTV themselves is sent over the internet, if your internet goes down it won't work for NowTV content (but plex will).

Do I need to mess with vpn or dns settings to get Sky Movies to work here if I buy one these with a Sky Movies pack?

No it all works fine. But there is vpn issues getting some of the apps to work. BBC IPlayer or the ITV demand apps don't work .

4od does work and many other apps work also.

Combined with FreeSat and Saorview, it give you quite a bit of variety without the big monthly sky bill.

All the apps work fine for me with overplay.net ca. 36 euro for the year

Is there a cheaper or even free way of watching BBC iplayer etc? I've a Sky router so don't think I can change some settings on it.

Don't think you are allowed to discuss that stuff here. Mods don't like it!

look closely at the symbols

You could replace it with a different adsl router though.

Have an old Eircom router, could I just use it instead? Is it an easy enough thing to do?

I see the You Tube App has now been added to the NOWTV box. You can just add it in the channel store!

Its the box that keeps on giving!
This is the best 15€ I ever spent

I know. I can flick through full movies on youtube with my phone now, and then press the tv button on the screen.

There it is. On the big screen.

Its fantastic.
