You can watch via browser yes, nowtv.com

AFAIK the rugby World Cup is carved up between eir sport and virgin.

I used to run it off the app on my phone and through a chromecast to the TV, worked really well. Slight delay is all, maybe a minute

For the RWC, all on eir plus...

RTÉ has secured TV rights to broadcast 14 live matches. This will include all of Ireland's games, all knockout stages and the final, as well as 16 nights of highlights.

Is the resolution still 720 and 30FPS on NowTv?

thenightman · 04-08-2019 10:24am

This include the BT Sports pack that Sky acquired?

States 11 sky sports channels. No mention of BT.

Probably another subscription.

Can't be discounted

Not too pushed, now tv only has a partnership with sky

It is a division of Sky

Yeah still 720 and its 25 FPS! Ridiculous in 2019!

They're hardly gonna make it 4K HDR and kill their subscription service!

I was tempted to get this. It is great value if you are a Premier League fan. Otherwise there is very little on it. The rugby world cup will dominate the next few months and all the gaa is finished for the summer on sky, rte have the rest.

The picture quality is very good. Better than eir sports hd streaming for me.

NateDogsCats · 04-08-2019 10:48pm

OP did you actually manage to get the code to work with this? I was a little on the fence too but I haven't properly been able to watch much footy for near 10 years I'd say and I don't want to have to deal with Sky directly but a discount would definitely help push me.

Yes it worked for me. But the code doesn't seem to be working now.

I purchased it and I was worried about the quality of the picture but I have to say its not too bad at all. I also got a free two week trial of Sky Cinema too.

I paid 78 euro earlier in the week and its worth every cent.

Does nowtv cast?

For all the banging on theyre doing about piracy and illegal streaming theyre hardly going to attract many customers with a paltry 720p / 25 FPS stream for top dollar prices when there are alternatives of 1080p 60 FPS steams right up to 4K HDR available for nothing.

Not anymore easily. Sky have managed to scare all the IPTV companies away!

THey all discontinued Sky sometime in June

hawaii501 · 05-08-2019 12:26pm

Afternoon all, I have purchased this but it says it expires in 3 days.
I currently have Nowtv so I thought I'd be able to use it when the monthly subscription expires as it says it can we redeemed between August and September?

Yep, very smoothly

It stacks, just add it now.

Question, if I may. So if you bought a previous version of this offer, you could add another one to get 8 months, and then in theory 12 months @ €20 p.m.?

All to be activated by the end of Sept

True, had no issues with the stability of this last year. Compared to say the Eir sports App with BT sport, which just wasn't as smooth

hawaii501 · 05-08-2019 2:56pm

Cheers for that, I had entered the voucher code rather than the redemption code!!

Nolars · 05-08-2019 2:56pm

Cheers for that

AEH1984 · 05-08-2019 3:37pm

Redemption code wont work for me, keeps saying error, waiting on an email back from them.

SSeanSS · 05-08-2019 6:04pm

Wonder if you buy 2 of these will you get 8 months?

Akula · 05-08-2019 8:47pm

Very interested in knowing if these stack also. I'd buy enough to get me through the PL season at least!

byte · 05-08-2019 9:21pm

I doubt if they'll stack because it's mentioned at the top of the T&C's:

"Available to new and existing NOW TV customers without an active Sky Sports Pass."

Cant hold a voucher til the first runs out either, they seem to have thought of that, as voucher expires 30 Sept!
