Yes can confirm it gives Sport and Sports Extra (BT). When setting up the stick you have the option to login with your existing Now account and it then adds these as new vouchers on to your existing subscriptions.
It does, sky, bt and premier sports.
Deleted.
And if you get the stick will it then work on the android app also?
Yep once youve added the vouchers to your account they can be used anywhere you access your account
Anyone got any boost codes? Totally missed the change to one device and have gotten caught out tonight?
Update
Thanks Tim - didn't get that update and, like Ruddy, I've been caught out by trying to be nice to my father in law 🙈
sky sports is 25e a month, BT/premier is 17e a month with NowTV. i haven't subscribed in years, are they good prices?
It can be got for cheaper. Codes for both a few posts back on this thread.
Get both for €15 total using Now TV Sticks

Every time I go into the android app it says it seems your offline... I'm cleary not.
Any ideas?
I got the same message yesterday evening. It must be an issue on Now's side.
First time I've had problems with Now TV - disaster last night, couldn't watch the footy or stream anything after about 9:30 - android phone says 'offline' and the LG tele upstairs - could browse menus but nothing would stream - actually really annoying - it was like back to the android box days of illegal streaming. Glad its not just me
Can you purchase 'boost' to view in HD and use alongside these cheap sports sticks?
Yep
I'm the still having the same issue on my Android tablet.
However if I go into the side menu, it works no problem.
EDIT: seems this workaround is also posted on Twitter as they try to resolve the issue.
Hey there - We're working to get this resolved asap. In the meantime, if you close the app, then re-open it and tap the menu icon in the top left corner of the app. Then navigate to a different section of the app, you should then be able to play out as normal. :)
Did you have a VPN turned on?
no vpn, that workaround doesn't work either - still not working today either. Fine on the laptop in work
Workaround is working for me on the iPhone
I guess you mean €30 per month?
Can you record to watch later on those sports packages?
Have ordered the sports stick deal from did online
No, recordings or even pause of live event not possible which is frustrating as other foreign providers do. Sky do have highlights shows of Premier League matches lasting about 25 minutes, they have the Sunday games up now, last nights Liverpool Crystal Palace game is not which is rather poor service.
€30 up front for 3 months.
If you manage to get a few sticks can you stack the memberships or do you have to do one at a time every time a month expires?
Might be handy for some of ye interested in the entertainment.
Is the boost worth it?
It most certainly is. also necessary if you want 2 devices logged in at the same time.
+ HD
Just checked data last night while watching and it is using 3.5GB per hour. Is that normal enough, seems high? Might be becasue Im on Boost which is HD though I dont notice any difference on my tv which is ancient, I think it is the fabled 'HD ready'. Is there any way to reduce the bit rate, my internet is not unlimited and it will get munched through with all the football on.
