Now tv

I think Sky used to let you have unlimited logins. Now it is limited to only two devices. Why hasn't someone done a work around for this? They do it for everything else!

Because sky have secured it very well by MAC address of a device. You are now limited to 2 devices other than your TV. So ipad, Xbox, phone etc etc.. No technical way around that i know of, I am sure mac spoofing may be available somewhere, but you would need to be pretty clever to do it and is it really worth the hassle?!

EDIT: Sky have release SKY GO EXTRA allowing 4 devices.. 5 quid a month..
 
Iv bought one of these boxes for my dad today, I went to make an account with now tv but it won't let me unless I choose one of the paying options. Is this correct?. I really only bought it so he could watch the masters and don't want to pay a monthly subscription to any of the channels, is it possible to do this?.

You just set up the payment options to purchase passes when you want them. No monthly payments are taken unless you subscribe

Can't see an option for that, iv only got, 30 day free trial for movies, entertainment pass or sky sports pass???
 
If I remember correctly, you go with the free pass which requires debit info (which opens your account in case you do want to buy time) and then cancel the payment before your free trial expires.
I bought my Now TV box for £15 and that was the deal. I guess they get some money back from those who forget to cancel.
 
Only problem is you can't pause it. You have to remember to go for a pee during the adverts.
I remember when all TV was like that. And when you had to get up out of your chair to change channel. And that little white dot when you turned the telly off :)
I just wish someone like Sky would offer a device like Now TV that showed live TV over wifi, so I wouldn't have to connect to a dish or cable.
i can't get a signal in the bedroom for Freeview and even though I have 2 Sky Feeds I can't get the cables into the bedroom and I am not allowed to run cables down the outside of the building. Now TV has Sky Sports news live, but that's it as far as I can see ( I think you can buy an entertainment package now). Other than that its Sky Go on my ipad which they won't allow you beam to a large screen.
Still, it's better than having to get up to change channel. :)
 
I've got mine now and we've watched the whole series 1 of Blacklist already, watched many of the episodes back to back, got to wait now for series 2 to finish as I can't access the early episodes only 4 at a time :(

It says you watch on 2 devices at the same time or 4 in total, can I watch it on our bedroom tv also, and if so, how?

I've just finished watching all of series 2 now after it emerged a few weeks back and loved it, but now the episodes on catch-up start at series 3 episode 4 through to 7 so I've got to wait again now for the series to finish, no doubt 22 episodes as I can't access episodes 1 to 3 :(

Need to find something else now like last time to fill the gap, the last 2 were Alias which I enjoyed and The West Wing.

Any recommendations?
 
Just had an email and you can now watch on 4 different devices, we watch currently on the main TV, my PC and my iPhone, I have a TV in the bedroom which I'd like to add, it says you can watch it through the following devices;

PS3
PS4
Xbox One
Xbox 360

plus a few others but there more dedicated, so, if I got hold of an old Xbox or any of the others do I just link the TV to it and.....what? Does it find it the NowTV box through a wireless link within the Xbox?

I have just got hold of (well santa brought the lad it ;) ) xbox one and you down load an app to watch now tv through the internet wifi fairly straight forward to set up too.
 
Connect the Xbox to the TV and download the app. Really easy. Have it running on my Xbox one in the manservatory
