The brand now has no good will though I imagine they will survive on GOT audiences. When I went to cancel the thing offered me a €3 discount per pass per month. So maybe they are noticing the lack of uptake.

Streaming video services like Netflix and Now TV normally test the connection speed and adjust the screen resolution accordingly. If your broadband connection was poor or maybe you were watching on a tablet in the bedroom and the wi-fi connection wasn't great, it probably set you to a low resolution.

I'm not issuing a warning on this occasion but the OP might want to consider a more measured tone next time

The issues with UK credentials and price differences don't concern me. I'm willing to pay EUR 40 for the box and EUR 15 a month for the entertainment pass, but only if the video quality is on a par with Netflix. Is the video quality consistently poor, or are some people happy with what they're paying for ? Thanks

flatey wrote: » Probably a weird sounding question but, is there any way to watch NowTV on an actual TV without the box? I have an android TV, not a box running the android TV OS but an actual TV running the android TV OS (that sounds like the same thing, but it unfortunately really really isn't). The app is available in the play store, but not the android TV play store (the play store for actual TVs running android TV OS is different from the android TV OS one). Has anyone tried side loading it? I ask because side loading on an actual android TV is a pain in the arse because chrome isn't available for android TVs (it is for android TV OS, just not android TVs running android TV OS...) so you have to download it on another device then fiddle around with file managers and transfers and stuff. (If someone else has already tried it, I can use their experience to preserve my sanity). The Android app on the phone wants phone call permissions to set up. I'm wary of attempting to side load it in case I end up throwing the telly out the window in frustration if half an hour fiddling back and forth ends up with it demanding permission to make phone calls from my telly. *any language confusion in this post is solely the fault of Googles lackadaisical approach to nomenclature and I accept no responsibility *

That would suit me fine since currently my only options for an ongoing Sky sports subscription is to pay Virgin Media or Now TV for all of the sports channels. The Now TV website for example is talking about '10 Sky Sports channels' - does anyone know if this is ever going to happen?
