Just signed up for the nowtv offer of sky sports and sports extra (bt + premier).

Now tv had said you couldn't watch the extra pack on lg tvs but I found you can if you click on tv guide and the channels are in there. They are not on the main screen.

mackersdublin · 09-11-2019 04:22PM

The Sports Extra Pack is also available on the Samsung TV app

Tigerandahalf · 14-11-2019 08:56PM

Made the mistake of updating the now tv app on my lg tv and now the sport extra channels have disappeared from the app.

Funny I don't remember updating the app when they first appeared on it so maybe they can add/remove them without updating the app.

On the Now TV Stick's......can you watch live RTE on the RTE Player app?

Thanks in advance.

The sport extra channels were on the Now TV app when I looked yesterday on a LG tv.

Yes they are back on it. Not on the home screen. You need to go into the tv guide. It is very handy.

The RTÉ player has stopped working working on my Now TV Stick. Virginmedia player works fine.

No, everything else works perfect except for RTE Player

When you click on the app it just boots you out
Rubbish as usual from RTE

Just wondering did anyone take up the sports extra channels. I have till today to get the 30 Euro for 3 months offer.

Is it any good?

Tigerandahalf · 20-11-2019 09:14PM

I am very happy with it anyway.
I got the 3 month deal for €30 p/m.

It is the first time all the channels are on a single app except eir sport of course.

I have an LG tv and it is very handy to just use the tv remote to select the stream you want. Move around the house and you can watch it on a phone or tablet or cast it to a chromecast.

The quality of the streams is very good. You do get the odd buffering but it is seldom enough.

The next logical step is for catchup to be added.

Just wondering are some programmes blocked on Premier channels, I sometimes see the epg blank on Premier channels,

Tigerandahalf · 20-11-2019 09:32PM

I would think any of the pro14 games would be blocked on premier as eir sport have the ROI rights. Eir would be very quick to stop that.

The saturday 3pm football matches should be fine on it though.

I am not sure what will happen with the multiple football fixtures kicking off at the same time in December. Premier have the ROI rights. Perhaps there will be extra one off streams in the app.

The viewership for some of those lesser fixtures will hardly be great but BT and Virgin televise all the champions league games, even though some fixtures outside the English teams must have few viewers.

FRIENDO · 20-11-2019 09:40PM

Great Tiger,

Ye, I just got it now.
Have all the sports now, had to try it for that offer, cheers

I find the now TV very good

US2 · 20-11-2019 09:43PM

How would I get this on my smart TV without having to cast or use laptop and HD cable ? Would be ideal if I could get the NOWTV app on the tv but im not sure how to?

I bought a Now TV stick, some good deals at the moment coming with various offers

I think I paid 45 and that was with a free month sport,

My TV did not have the now TV app

Important to plug the power cable of the stick to a direct wall socket, I found with it connected to an extention lead it slowed the internet.

Works perfect and good picture quality

Brilliant!! Thanks. I presume my tv remote would allow me flick through channels so?

mollser · 21-11-2019 12:10AM

Wait now... does the 17pm offer for sports extra expire today too? Cannot find on website. Cheers

No, the stick comes with a very simple control to use for now TV and accompanying apps, it controls volume and standby on the tv also

Been mentioned over in the Rugby thread that apparently Pro14 matches on Premier have been going out on Now TV- don’t have Now TV so haven’t seen it myself and eitherr way I’ll doubt if it will last.

Something else...

In the UK, Now TV Boost has gone live today and it should hopefully be winging its way to Ireland in due course. This adds Full HD and Dolby 5.1 - both on Sky Sports only- as well as multiroom..

Black Friday me hoop! Yesterday's sports extra offers (3 months at 17pm) much better than today's (2 months at 17pm). Raging! Presume can just get another offer when this one expires?

doogb · 22-11-2019 07:07PM

Hi,

I've the following NowTV passes
Sports due to expire on 22nd Dec and Sports Extra due to expire on 22nd Jan.

Can I buy a 2 months Sports + Sport Extra for €60 as I've currently 2 active passes ?
If yes, will they start after my current passes expire ?

thanks

Tigerandahalf · 23-11-2019 02:53PM

Tolouse Connacht is on BT extra today but the channel isn't included in the Now tv sports extra package. Poor service.

icdg · 23-11-2019 03:09PM

Something similar used to happen all the time when the Heineken Cup was exclusive to Sky and back in the old 24 team format, games would inevitably end up on the red button and then only Sky satellite customers would be able to watch. First time it’s happened in a long time though (has it happened since the move to the 20-team format?). Not sure why there were three simultaneous 1pm KOs but the East London derby in the Premier League was never going to be bumped off BT1. I’m not sure why they couldn’t have used ESPN and pre-empted the first hour of College GameDay (which is often done when there’s live sport).

lertsnim · 23-11-2019 05:14PM

It will happen again when Premier Sport have all the Premier League games.
