I bought a day pass for Sky's Now TV to watch Glasgow in the Heineken Cup. I ended up having the same issue the people here did:

The upshot was I spent £9.99, missed the first 10 minutes of the game trying to get it to work, and ended up having to watch the rest on wiziwig (I can definately recommend wiziwig these days, reasonable picture and it didn't hang up once).
My conclusion is that illegal services:
a) work
b) are free
whereas legal services:
a) don't work
b) are not free

I'm watching Leicester vs ulster on nowtv right now on xbox.
Works fine. What were your issues?
I bought the day pass but when I clicked on Activate Your Pass it came up with "Sorry, your session has ended. Please sign in and try again". This was on the PC. When I tried on the Ipad it tried to make me download the app but then crashed the app store. I googled the error message and found that I'm not the only one that's had the problem.
