    There for me. Just watched it the other night.

    Not sure I'll be watching any more.

    Seeing as they have an Irish version of the Android app for no real reason I'm guessing the LG UK app won't work?

    Can only get the Irish version now and bought the Sky Sports day pass for the GAA the last two Saturdays and have to say the quality is dreadful. Buffering every few seconds and when i connect to the TV via HDMI cable it's almost unwatchable. I used the UK version loads of times for soccer last season and ever had any issues. I wouldnt have minded paying for the odd day pass this season either but i won't be now. Anyone else tried it recently?

    Do TV shows have ad breaks on the NowTV catch up website?

    No, there's no ads if you're watching the boxsets or movies. You do have the option of watching some sky channels live too

    Are boxsets completed seasons? What about shows that are currently running like Game of Thrones?

    Its hit and miss. GoT was up in its entirety but now its just season 6 and 7. There's enough of them to keep you going and they at least tell you what day they're being taken off so you can binge it before it goes

    I don't understand why they only licensed Futurama for two months.

    I mean I don't understand a lot of their strategy but that's my latest complaint.

    I'm finding it impossible to cancel
    I'm getting the uk site anytime I want to view my passes
    If I try to view them it asks for my card details and address but won't accept it because there's only the option for a UK address

    It's absurd

    My only option seems to be to cancel the card payment at my bank
    How is this farce regulated
    No contact only email either...

    Is Tin Star still available on NowTV? If so, what is the expiry date?

    I was going to renew to watch it.

    Tin Star available until Dec 9th.

    Not sure if all platforms are the same but I can see what's available even without a current sub, using app on LG tv.

    You are correct. I had it in my head that the ability to browse and search the website would be cut off once a subscription ended unless I re-subscribed.

    Not sure why I thought that. Anyway thanks.

    Because that's how Netflix and Prime Video work. Now TV does actually let you browse while unsubscribed.

    It's one small point in its favour, but it has 5000 negative points against it so....

    Just signed up for a trial 14 days at the weekend.

    Performance was terrible - I tried to watch something on my laptop, with both wireless and then wired access, and it was terrible, unwatchable.
    Netflix worked ok at the same time so network response not to blame.

    Anyone else have this?

    I'll try again but if same will just cancel .

    Yeah it’s been reported here before
    If you use the box or an app on a device it’s fine on the trial

    Dont want to acquire another box, and if I use an app it doesn't work with my Chromecast apparently.

    So that's me out.

    Not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue I have encountered today, it's kinda the opposite of the issues described above.

    I have 2 Now TV boxes, both UK boxes. A white one from the early days and the 2nd Gen one in black. I have been using them for several years now, since the UK launch. Around the time of the Irish launce I experienced the issues mentioned in the earlier posts - being redirected to the Irish Now TV address when trying to log into my account and geo-restriction messages when using the boxes. At the time I created an Irish Now TV account, using a different email address and details. I was able to sign up to, and subsequently cancel, the entertainment and movies.

    The issue with the boxes resolved itself and I'm using them no problem again, accessing UK servers and getting the UK Sky Sports line-up. And the login issue was resolved by logging in via my work laptop's corporate VPN which connects to the internet via the UK. For a period I was thus able to access UK Now TV via my work laptop and the UK boxes and Irish Now TV via my personal PC and Mobile App.

    Today I tried to log into my Irish Now TV account via a non-work laptop, i.e. using an Irish internet connection. But for some reason it connected me to the UK and asked me to enter payment details and a UK address, despite my already having set up this account with payment details and an Irish address. Similarly I was able to log into my UK Now TV account without using my corporate VPN access to the UK.

    In other words, today I don't seem to be able to access the nowtv.com/ie address at all!

    Anyone?

    If the show wasn’t made by Sky - particularly the HBO/Showtime stuff - it tends to disappear from Sky On Demand (and hence also Now TV) after only a short period. Seems they’d prefer you to watch on the linear channels (and to be fair, they are primarily a linear broadcaster and earn money from advertising, which Netflix doesn’t sell).

    Walking dead is on one of now tv’s live channels though- fox

    I’m currently winding my way through Banshee (great programme) and have until nov 7th on now tv to finish
    Each series episode states how long it’s there for

    My biggest gripe with now tv is that despite the Roku box having the capability,there is no 5.1 Dolby digital sound
    Just 2 channel Dolby pro logic

    Other than that it’s fine and the remote app is great

    You're getting scammed compared to the UK version, bear in mind.

    My issue is that they're still advertising them as available to watch. Can't see how they're allowed get away with that

    Can anyone tell me if I buy an Entertainment pass on ebay.co.uk (presumably a "UK" pass) will it work on my Irish NowTV account with a NowTV box? I've used up my free trial, and a one months Entertainment/Cinemas pass that came with a games console, but not will to pay €15 per for the entertainment pass.
