    They'll offer you another deal when you try to cancel after the 3 months, you'll never pay €73.

    Call me old fashioned but I’d much prefer they tell me how much and if I’m interested, I’ll pay it. Not a fan of made up theoretical prices and me having to ring up and haggle to get the best deal ... €15 Netflix, I know what I’m getting into

    Sports Extra is €17 pm without Sky Sports for first 3 months.

    Price will only show up when you add it to your basket.

    €30 for both passes, €73 for both after 3 months. Any wonder people are enticed by alternative, dodgy means

    How are you working it out to 73?

    I got the pigsback offer last month which is about 70+ for three months of sky sports alone.

    Sky Sports is €39 per month and Sports Extra is €34 per month at full price, which is €73

    The offer at the moment for new customers is both packs for €30 per month for 3 months

    Oh right thought you were saying 73 for 3 months.

    On the vanilla subscription discount til Dec so little incentive to upgrade to extra pack.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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.

    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

    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
