Handy for the house of dragon starting this Sunday night
On a slightly separate note, what's going on with all the ads in the middle of episodes (and at the beginning, too)? Complete pain!
Not seen these yet, do you have Boost?
If it goes down the RTE Player level of ads I'd stop subscribing right away, any ads when you are paying is poor form.
Oh **** that. I'm on a boost deal at the moment and if that's whats going on without boost I'd rather cancel the whole lot.
NowTV doesn’t serve ads to you.
Any ads you see are the ads on the channel you are watching.
Its the exact same stream all Sky customers see.
I assumed the post was about catch up and boxsets.
Never seen an Ad on Now before ( Boxsets) unless you are watching a chanell, which is normal.
Any luck with any boost promo codes?
Only a matter of time so as their site says Boost is needed to watch on demand content without ads.

We've been watching box sets through Entertainment and have also been getting ads for the last few days. It's pretty annoying tbh.
With price hikes and ads, it just turns people back to dodgy boxes and torrents.
Netflix and Disney+ success can be put down to low prices and no ads.
Adverts are coming to both Netflix and Disney+ for the lowest paid tiers.
Are the ads at the start and end of a show, or are they even in the middle of it?
I had ads playing before movies today, unskippable too. Cancelled both the packages we had subbed when I realised this is their new norm. We already have to get rode to watch rte player with a tv license, no interest in paying nowtv for the same & it’s not good enough content to justify paying extra to avoid ads.
Do you have Boost? My understanding was there would continue to be no ads if using Boost.
Except that's been happening on the boxsets for the past week, or so. Two to five ads per episode, depending on what series it is. There are ads at the beginning and throughout the episodes. Only one or two in a row, mind you, not a full ad break like on the channels, but still!
For those who asked, no, I don't have boost.
Where do you enter the promo codes?
For example, NOWWBXNCJLWQ
I don’t see where I can enter it?
On your membership page.
These ads are a pain in the hoop. Is that 6 month boost code still working?
It's a strange business model whereby they put ads on the non Boost version but the Boost version is what your likely to share with a friend or family member and this will then cannibalise their membership numbers.
Which is only acccessable through the nowtv.com web page - not in the app itself.
Perfect, thanks guys
I've found their content to be shockingly weak for how much of it there ostensibly is. I find it genuinely hard to find stuff just to leave playing in the background.
I had been rolling my subscription out of handiness sake, just because the app was on my tv, but now the app is being disabled, ads are creeping in, and I'm finding outages more common over time rather than less. It's not worth the low price for me, though I can see how it would be if you're mad into sport.
The big advantage it had to me over the dodgybox was that it was two buttons closer to home and it was generally more reliable. Now it's gone to the point the dodgybox is a better experience all around - at least I can fastforward and feckin record something on that.
Just set up 6 different accounts and you're good to go
My subscription to Sky Sports is up next month, I'm trying to add voucher NOWWBXNCJLWQ but keep getting "We're having trouble with vouchers right now". Tried two different desktop browsers, same issue. Any ideas? (I'm doing this from abroad if that might be the issue?)
You don’t need to set up 6 accounts.
You do have to set up each stick alright but at the end of the setup you can log in using the same account each time and the vouchers stack up on your account.
Cannot do it from abroad.
anyone have an issue with activating now tv stick?
the code on my tv that it says to enter with a pc never works, i tried a few of them now. contacted live chat and they could not fix it, they just said theyd e-mail me when it was resolved (no word since)
i only bought a new stick because the old one randomly stopped working (not surprised based on how hot they get from being plugged in)
It's not showing up through the membership section of the Now TV site, but someone over on the URC thread has discovered that if you google “now tv sports extra deal”, 10 months of Sports Extra is available for €17 p/m.
Not as good as last year, but probably unlikely to come down further.
When I set a stick up I was already logged in to my NowTV account on the PC, that might help.
