Nearly had me with the multi-pass until i realised it was only a week of sports

Cracking deal, you also get access to box sets like Sopranos, The Wire and Game Of Thrones.

Can you do anything with these if you don't have a subscription?

How long of a sports sub do you get with this?

Seriously lads, read the description in the link and stop clogging up the thread with silly questions

Yes. It continues to work on all the All4 box sets, catchup etc - but not live TV - that's a restriction from Ch4, not NowTV.
The RTE Player, TG4 player and Virgin player all continue to work.

I spend a lot of time watching the Walter Presents channel on All4 which shows foreign series, mainly European, mainly drama.

It's a Roku dongle rebadged. It's a little insensitive for WiFi pickup - you'll need a decent signal in the room, and as it's usually stuck behind the TV a HDMI extender might be useful.

I got mine for Game of Thrones final season last spring (€20 including 2 months Entertainment package), renewed the Entertainment deal for 3 months when I bargained them into a decent deal, but its been running without a NowTV deal since last October I think. That €12 deal is a no brainer. I might just go get one myself, just for the Pass.

You can also claim a 2 month entertainment pass is registered with bord gais rewards

I have found that you need to cancel in the second month or it will cancel the pass on the on the one month anniversary. I also had an active free pass that came with a pack, bought another pack and it added the next pass to run concurrently. I got the cinema packs as they seem to have a fair collection on them

Jesus there website is so bad its like using a windows 95 website

Why cant they have a website like the UK one and an APP for your phone they could increase there sales 10 fold and get rid of them stupid big books they give out!!!

Same as the last posters wont let me order

Out of stock?

I reserved mine for Ilac centre tomorrow a couple of hours ago when I spotted the thread (the movie one which is same price as entertainment). Think it was the last in stock mind.

Edit: Just checked also and there's 2 movie passes in stock in Stephens Green shopping centre. Also if you are with bord gais or know someone who is they currently have 2 months entertainment pass for free in their rewards section (credit to another thread I spotted here) so you could get the stick, movies and boxsets for €12 for 2 months

The pass on these is on the stick I presume not a separate card? Anyone know if it will just add another 2 months onto the bord gais 2 months?

Thanks, you wouldn’t happen to know if the embedded pass on the stick will extend an existing pass such as the bord gais one?

What's really frustrating is when you get to the purchase page and it's out of stock, you check another store which shows in stock and then you get "out of stock" when you try to buy it.

Sort it out Argos or people are going to get frustrated with you and you will only just be back in business!

Once the pass is activated on the stick and logged into my account, can I make use of the pass on the NowTV app on my phone or is it restricted to just being used on the stick?

That's what I did previously. Shouldn't be a problem
