    I'm getting this a lot too. And dropping the network connection.
    Never happened last year

    Is that with a now tv stick ?

    I get that all the time but doesn’t happen with laptop or phone.

    Yeah, with the stick. Worked perfect last season

    Same as yourself, very poor quality stream during matches, or dropping out entirely. I have Virgin media broadband as well. Tried setting up a guest network for now tv as suggested elsewhere, but no improvement.

    do you have 2.5ghz wifi and 5ghz as separate networks. You need to split them out to get the best speeds.

    Has anyone tried the mobile monthly pass for 7 euro per month. I know its only limited to watching on mobiles and it is limited to 5 channels but that includes Sky Sports Premier league so doesn't seem like the worst option

    Yep works perfectly, got it for the gaa and stuck with it. Doesn't include all the channels as you've said (doesn't include main event or golf channels). Grand for the Premier League though.

    Great cheers I reckon I'll give it a shot.

    Yep, got it too and find it good. You get used to the small screen too. The delay can be an issue, as it's sometimes close to a minute or more, but once your not getting goal alerts from twitter, etc it'll be fine. It's good value too in fairness.

    Meh. 30 a month Feb to July.

    Bit no footie for half of may, June and july. Closer to 55 per month to me on that basis.


  • Registered Users Posts: 561 ✭✭✭thenightman


    They charge 39 a month for sports + 34 p/m for sports extra, so still a decent deal for both at 30 p/m. Worth noting that Spanish football is gone off Premier Sports now, which makes the Sports Extra package less attractive for me anyway.

    I think the deal is good, especially if you can split the cost with someone (2 devices at any time). Would be useful to highlight the deal in a new thread/update title of this thread? It is essentially a different offer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,353 ✭✭✭naughto


    Does the devices have to be on the same network or can I get one of the lads to go halfs on this offer

    they don't have to be anywhere near each other. just share the NowTV log in and connect anywhere in ireland on whatever network.

    The premier League is done and dusted that's why they're discounting it, a non event unless you're a fan of the red Scouse, then it's a 3 month victory parade. Some of the ****e they've served up as super Sunday of late has been unwatchable also rans.


  • Registered Users Posts: 308 ✭✭donnyvegas


    if you go incognito and sign up - you'll get 10% discount to your email address. Takes it down to €161.99.

    The offer is for ALL Sky Sports channels, BT Sports and Premier Sports. They show more than just Premier League.

    Fair if you don't appreciated the bargain but there is no need for such negative comments.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,158 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    They run these offers all the time. I bought two months of this for €60 off them before Christmas, it runs out at the start of February. I can't see the same offer on their site currently but last time they were doing offers like this on pigsback the same offer appeared on the now TV site shortly afterwards.

    It's a good deal for €30 a month, and I'd keep sky sports year round, but have no use for sports extra once the football season ends.

    Went for it .I'm a football and f1 fan and my old man is a big rugby fan so this deal is good value imo.

    Only snag is, think I have to wait for the sports extra 2 month for 1 deal to expire at end of jan before I can activate it as says you can't have an active pass when starting. Could prob set up another now TV account I guess tho..

    Good man. I hope you got the 10% off!

    30 quid a month is essentially about fair for that package on your TV. But Now TV has its downsides that make this not really a bargain!!

    I was having a nightmare with the now tv stick previously but they’ve released an Apple TV app now so all good.

    you can also just chromecast it from their app.

    There is also a now tv app for most smart TVs and that works very well

    Often delayed by up to a minute but probably works best

    Yup. Welcome to the internet.

    if you have a pass already for sport, will this extend it, or can it only be used when they have expired ?

    I was listening to Liverpool v Utd yesterday on Newstalk as I arrived at my in-laws. Van Dyke scored just before I got out of the car. I stopped to hear the confirmation that it was allowed by VAR, and then got out and went inside. They were watching the match on Sky Sports virgin media and it the goal hadn't even been scored there.

    Always assumed it was just NowTV with such a delay.

    It can only be used when expired but you have until early March to redeem it.
