    Yes I think I might buy cheapest one on ebay and try it out when my passes are up! I might email now tv and ask them too

    Be prepared to lose your money when the Irish box refuses the UK Pass.

    MOD Edit. Against charter. I know you were giving them away but maybe take it to bargain alerts or something instead of spamming this thread with a large post like that.

    I'm thinking of picking up a now tv box and buying the mayweather/mcgregor ppv on it this weekend. Has anyone any experience with using the box office stuff? I use iptv or streams normally and the ppv stuff isn't necessarily reliable. Is this much better?


    I ordered it this evening, first time to try boxoffice, but I have watched live tv stations and sports before,worked fine.
    So hopefully box office will be as good.

    Was in argos castlecourt in Belfast on Wednesday and picked up a half price now tv box with 4 months kid pass for £12.49, the half price entertainment boxes were all sold out. When you consider that the kids pass is £2.99 pm plus I bought a 3 month entertainment pass for £15.

    i know it's a few days post fight, but i'd like to echo this. had a few people over, streamed it all on the now tv wirelessly with the box office, perfect hd without a glitch. very reassuring for any future events!

    Adding device support for the ROI box is a positive development, if they get around to supporting Apple TV I might look at their offerings.

    Anyone else have to log in each time they use the box? Is there a way it can be kept logged in?

    what's your broadband connection? It downgrades the quality if your connection is poor to average.

    Depends on how your tv handles 720p as well. Maybe there's an upscaling issue.

    I'm not overly fussy but I still like decent quality. But I don't need to see 4K or 1080i

    Now TV on PS4 :-)

    Good to see the app finally available on PS4 but it needs an update.
    When launched the word 'beta' is shown next to the Nowtv logo. I watched about 20 mins of one show and then suddenly got an error. Internet connection was fine and when I reloaded the app it would not resume the episode from where I left off but instead started again from the beginning. I hope they get this sorted as I am getting tired of using the mobile app all the time.

    Hi, I'd like to cancel my account, I don't use the service and I don't feel comfortable to keep my credit card there without a reason. How can I do that?

    Thanks

    I know what you are saying the restriction is that you must have less than 30 days on your account - you can avail of the offer up to Nov 30th

    I have to wait till then as my pass expires Dec 28th

    It's a one off payment and starts when your current pass expires

    Ye I got the three month deal at 7.50 a couple of days ago by chance, as I wanted to watch a certain boxset.

    I don't think any other deals on offer.

    I find the problem with the email is when you click on it you are brought to the sterling priced deals.

    Hard to find the Irish deals

    How did you get it? When I click on the link it takes me to the sign-up page for new customers, which I'm not.

    The T&Cs say the offer's available to existing customers but I can't figure out how.

    I just logged into my UK account... I have passes paid up until Feb and they are still offering me the deal for £99. No mention of 30 days anywhere.

    It was a fluke, I had cancelled now tv a while back, just clicked on the entertainment boxsets as I wanted to subscribe again through my roko now tv box.
    Was just given this offer for three months.
