Quick NowTV question

LOSG · 02-09-2014, 12:08

I've already bought the box with an extended movies pass which runs out in December. Can I buy another box with the entertainment pass and add the pass to my existing account with the movie pass? Effectively having both passes on the same account and then that account on both of the boxes?

I hope that makes sense and thanks for any help.

simple answer - yes you can. Just login to your account on your new box.

With both passes enabled on the one account?

Sorry to be pedantic...Just want to check that this is the inclusive 3/5 month passes that come as a package with the box? To put 2 of them together on the same account?

I'm aware as Subscriptions you can pay for Movies/Entertainment/Sports as and when you wish.

Thank you for your help.

The passes are nothing more than voucher codes. You can use them with any account, and it doesn't need to be with the box supplied (I know of people just binning the spare boxes).
As the ents and movies are separate subs you can start and stop either whenever you want without affecting the other, and the same goes for using the vouchers.

Hi,
You can add more than one roku box to your account.

Day 1 of my seven day 'NOW TV' trial - now online at www.sportonfreeviewuk.wordpress.com - over the next 7 days I'll be trialling a Now TV box, and reporting back daily, think it will be of interest for those thinking of purchasing a box...

I’ve been looking into getting one of these with the cheap pass enclosed with the box but having read a few reviews here and there I’ve knocked the idea in the head after reading about naff picture quality.

I’m sure it’s great for watching stuff on your 10” tab but as these boxes are intended to be connected to large screen TV’s I’m keeping my money in my pocket until they do 1080p streaming.

To be honest, the picture quality is nice and crisp from my Roku LT ( which is what the Now TV box is, but rebadged ). It is only 720p output though. I feed this into a 42" Samsung Smart TV and generally I think the quality is good on the Entertainment Pass but I found the quality poor using the Sports Day Pass during a Premier match! I have only used the Sports Pass once but I have been using the Entertainment service since last November and find that it is improving all the time in terms of choice and quality.

I find the quality of the NOWTV box on my 42" Sony via HDMI to be excellent, but on my Samsung 37" TV its awfull.
Provided you have decent broadband speeds and a decent TV its great

Thats cos Sony TV's are better quality than Samsungs.

I think you're allowed 5 devices - with 2 streaming at the same time.
