Yep I have both the sports packages for a total of €35 a month for 3 months

I got the half price for three months deal, it comes to an end this week, which is why I was so happy (or so I thought?!) to see another deal.

I have the same deal which expires at the end of February. It's my first time using it and overall I'm happy with the performance.

I believe from reading previous threads that when you cancel, they will e-mail you another offer.

Would you mind letting the thread know of any deals they offer?

I canceled the other day and they offered me another discount, wasn’t half price though, think it was probably 33% off ish which I didn’t go for as I have a full iptv sub on a firestick and the half price deal was the absolute max I was willing to pay

Apologies dave.

I meant you can cast it in the chromecast to your TV as colm said above.

I assumed this was possible with the new chromecast also.

Yup, can still cast but there's no app which is a pity (but not unexpected given how bad they are at device support)

Anyone else notice the Now TV picture now se ms Tobe upgraded to 1080p?

It's supposed to be 720

Could someone confirm that please? I'm eagerly waiting for 1080p in IE cause 720p is unwatchable for me after years of being spoiled by netflixes and such with 4k ☺

Thanks!

In the UK they charge 3 pounds for a month pass called NowTV Boost. It gives full HD. No one would pay the 3 per month if the regular stream was full HD

Its 1080 for me and also now has full dolby digital sound via a sound system
Im paying for neither

FRIENDO

Just noticed the Now TV app Has arrived on the Irish Fire stick
Must be still work in progress, I could log in and view perfect but the app won't add to my app list or recently viewed.
But good to see it on the Fire stick.

I haven't noticed any improvement but lately I've been watching a lot of older series that might not be in 1080 anyway.

Are you using a built in TV app or one of the sticks/boxes?

720p is the highest picture quality here in Ireland (4830/4831)
https://help.nowtv.com/ie/article/what-is-highest-streaming-quality-for-my-device

In the UK, you have the option of adding Boost for £3 extra per month for 1080p and you can watch on 3 different screens

It's crazy that they still don't offer that here. Like what's stopping them?

I'm UK now tv & get the boost but 3 pounds a month extra for HD is shocking when you get 4k hdr free on prime & netflix

4k is included on the Prime Irish package at no extra

However 4k is only available on the most expensive Netflix package in Ireland

Now tv & entertainment & boost cost much more than the 4k pack though. This is only for HD. Even the most basic netflix pack gets you hd for free

Ironically, the TV pass on its own in Ireland is roughly equivalent to the sterling cost of the TV pass with HD boost in the UK. TV and Boost is £13 which converts to just over €15 today; the standard TV pass price in Ireland.

So we're in effect paying HD prices without the HD boost. :mad:

No it doesn't
Netflix Basic SD (480p) €7.99
Netflix Standard HD (1080p) €12.99
Netflix Premium 4K €17.99

I also find myself nipping in and out of Now TV plans and getting very good value deals.

Sometimes you get a half price deal for 3 months with Now TV

Sorry. Typo. Entertainment, movies and boost are much more expensive than 4k Netflix & you only get HD with now tv.

I have 15 movie and entertainment vouchers stored on my now tv account but like you I hop in & out of streaming services. The big scoop sky have on entertainment (your honour) I've already seen on Showtime

BTW there is a thread on getting netflix from Turkey. Netflix Premium 4K is coming in at under 5 euro per month.

Is NOW TV definitely not HD? I had the sports there for a while as I got a 3 months free pass and also have it with my Eir subscription and the pic on NOW TV was much better!

On an aside does anyone know is there anyway of getting Sky Sports in HD with Eir? BT have their own HD channels but Sky don't, very annoying.

Now TV is HD at 720p

I seen that Turkish deal spoken about on boards and I do find Netflix Ireland expensive for the 4k and premium package.

Im just not tecky with vpn stuff, so I'll be staying on Irish Netflix

What is my Sky Sports with Eir then?

Always assumed SD was 720p.

Either way I find pic quite good using my NOW TV stick anyway.

SD is 576i Europe or 480 from the US also

HD is 720p,1080i and 1080p

Now TV at HD 720p is alot better than any SD picture, but it would be nice to have it in 1080p

Sorry, I don't know anything about Eir
