I’ll offer my tuppence worth.
I had the full Sky package but it was costing me £80 a month just for the TV. Cancelled it and went for the Now TV box with the entertainment package. Don’t miss Sky at all. The option to bolt on movies or sports for a month if there’s a particular reason to do it is way better than paying all year round.
the Now TV box itself is pretty good. Seems pretty reliable, fast and easy to navigate. My only slight gripe would be navigating the live TV listings. The channels aren’t numbered, you have to scroll through the entire listings. You can’t jump straight to one channel. Not a huge pain as I don’t watch a lot of broadcast TV. Only time it does become a bit of a pain is due to the HD channels which are quite far down the listings and take a bit of time to scroll to. A minor gripe for saving £80 a month though. Would also be good if Netflix was included in the apps but I use the xbox for that.
all the boxset stuff from Sky is there on the entertainment package (plus more) with the only caveat being the stuff doesn’t tend to be on the now tv listing for as long as it is on Sky, but they do warn you well in advance when a show will no longer be available on demand.
all the tv players are there (iPlayer, More4, ITV, Demand 5) plus Redbull, Youtube (which streams brilliantly from mobile devices), Spotify etc.
Genuinely can’t see me going back to Sky now. I’d tried BT tv a few years back and it was a hateful experience. Terrible box and unreliable service. Now TV is far better.
