    I have these codes running at the same time as a free 14 day trial of entertainment and movies and works fine. Then I setup a new account using a new card and buy another code and it works the same. The ebayer I linked was extremely helpful to me when I had all these questions hence me figuring all this out.

    The Darts were on Sky One last night so I compared the NOW TV time compared to that of Sky One and it was 47 seconds for me.

    Interesting, why is that delay there?

    Probably getting a bit off topic here but I think it's because it's streamed rather than using satellite so delays are naturally longer?

    Have still to use a couple of the codes I bought from the above seller...saving them for this weekend :)

    TBH I find a lot of the free streams available for matches to be superior to NowTV. It has good picture quality but the video seems a bit choppy at times (when watching live football anyway), as if there's a missing frames or something, and that's on my well spec'd pc with 200mb+ connection. It's astonishing that they can charge for that when I can get it free elsewhere (legalities aside).

    Yeah but those illegal streams are so prone to not working and crashing I find. Different strokes for different folks I suppose but a quid isn't gonna break the bank. I haven't found any issues with the streaming quality thus far anyway!

    I use it on my PS4...I created a new user on my PS4 and set the country to the UK and use the NOW TV app on that user without issue.

    Sorry,
    Wasn't trying to pry.. was just wondering if you used those disposable cards...

    ok.. I will have a look at the nowtv app on the tv after the ulster match and see if I can set the country to uk.

    Thanks again for all your help on this.

    Haha yes I know it's ok! Did you manage to set it to the UK? I'm using one of my last day passes today for the Man Utd and Liverpool games later.

    Nahh.. I tried the free alternative first.. got Smart IPTV app onto my telly and then got a free trial with a premium IPTV supplier..
    Tried to watch the Munster match on Sunday with it.. but my broadband (Imagine Broadband) was crap.. down to like 7.5Mbs or something ... so twas like watchin stop motion animation...

    I suppose 5:30pm on a Sunday arvo is peak time..

    Imagine Broadband was ok when we moved out the country first..cos we do get 50Mbs a lot of the time.. but it seems to be crapola when the pressure comes on.. not happy ..

    I want to try eliminate the telly as a possible problem (could just be underpowered.. an LG thingy) ... just waiting for a long hdmi cable to arrive.. to try the laptop with it instead...

    But basically.. before I go any further with streaming I think I need to sort out the broadband..or the device.... NowTV or anyone else is going to be the same story if the broadband/device ain't up to it..

    Again tho.. thanks for letting us all know bout these passes...
