It wouldn’t be worth much to me coz I’d still have to buy a stick to be able to access it: and there’s an offer for 2 months access for about £20 for the stick (normally £15). Thanks though.



Yeah yeah yeah, Samsung (and Phillips) and LG. Just not MY frigging telly. :)

You make it sound like it’s their fault your tv isn’t compatible?

Shame you don’t have a PlayStation or an Xbox either because they work a treat

It’s their fault that it’s not made immediately and absolutely clear that some TVs are not compatible even though though the icon appears on the set and they take your money off you and allow you to log on to the system on the TV set that isn’t compatible. Thus making me go around in circles establishing that I have to do something else.

I realise that this is also an aspect of my ignorance and when I come on here people tell me how easy it is for them and talk technical Swahili at me of which I’m also in ignorance.

Which is my experience, generally, of technology. Such is life.

For reasons that will be obvious to GoT fans I thought I’d engage with a 7 day free trial and £7.99 a month package from NowTV.

About an hour of setting up accounts on the telly and tablet followed by NowTV forums and Chatservices ... and going around and around the houses, I discover that the only compatible TV for NowTV is an LG.

I don’t want to watch telly with Mrs Kaplan (no) on our tiny tablet or a laptop so I now know I have to buy a NowTV stick for £15 so I can get it on my (Sony) telly. I’d have saved myself an hours frustration if I’d know that or the now tv website had been a bit more upfront about the technological restrictions.

The inclusion of the letters ‘TV’ in the company name is, in my opinion, a trifle misleading.

This has been a public service announcement. You’re welcome.

Absolute Bollocks. Fine on Samsung and Panasonic ones here.
 
You can usually get the stick or box for next to nowt on amazon with a pass chucked in.

You can also use NOWtv on a PlayStation btw.

Basically what you meant was, the only tv that comes with a NOWtv app is LG. All the others work perfectly well if you get a stick, which you can generally get for pennies anyway. Or every other telly works with a PlayStation, or an Xbox or Apple TV.

Isn't true at all though.

Most Samsung ones have the NowTV App. No additional sticks or boxes required.

Eh? :lol:
 
The missus (no) couldn’t buy a NowTV stick or box anywhere today. Sold out. So we borrowed the brother-in-laws until the one we just ordered is delivered.

I’d have been happy to wait but Mrs Kaplan is surprisingly frantic for her Game of Thrones fix

Don’t get a nowtv box, get a roku for £10 more and you get so much more, so can use all the amazon stuff, Netflix, roku have there own channel, also tv player etc! Much better value.
