Not quite sure what You mean by that. Are you referring to the other devices that can get Now TV? Surely you're not referring to nefarious way of obtaining it dear chap; I'd be shocked!

It's just a pain in the ass keeping track of what's on where, what's getting a new episode on where, what needs to be paid when etc.

Ad yeah i know i'm asking too much
kodi does do it if you have correct addons but best not discuss that lol,
I also mentioned Roku which intergrates amazon, netflix and other services in it's serch (i have mine set up to usa does uk do same?).

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Video previews whilst browsing the Netflix catalogue sounds useful , anyone noticed this yet on any devices ?

Don't think you will ever get unified billing as that really won't be in the customers best interest but Apple seen to be trying to tackle the content issues with their new universal search, although this doesn't currently include Netflix.

Why do you not think it would be in the customer's interest, zantarous?

If VM did a wholesale deal, the cost should be lower and included within our subscription. How is that a bad thing? It would certainly suit me!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

NOW TV with 6 months Entertainment pass only £19.00 from Currys.

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-...39929-pdt.html

NOW TV with 4 months SKY Movies pass only £19.00 from Currys.

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-...39945-pdt.html

That's not bad. £95.00 for a full years SKY Entertainment, SKY Movies and 2 NOW TV Boxes. Works out at £7.91 per month. Surely better than Netflix and only 42p more per month? Bargain.

These are great value; they appeared the same time last year. Bought two then, and just ordered another two now. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

More deals on the TV streaming front. This one appears to be for new customers only.

Sign up for TV Player Plus using promo code "PLUS2016" to get your first month free and your following 2 months for £2.49.

Over a year it works out at £49.89 or £4.15 per month on average. Of course your free to leave anytime. I think it's a great deal for 30 of the most popular pay TV channels.

As posted earlier the Now TV Entertainment pass for a year works out at £3.16 per month. That deal plus the TV Player Plus deal gives you almost all of the top pay TV channels for only £7.31 per month. No wonder people are moving away from conventional TV.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

I got shot down by some for suggesting pay tv platforms would move to smaller bundles of channels over time with delivery over the Internet and on a device of your choice. A few interesting links

DirecTV Now from $35 a month
Quote:
It will target the 20 million people in the US who don't have pay TV, but the company plans for it to be the primary TV platform by 2020, according to Bloomberg.

Hulu
Quote:
Hulu will have ABC, Disney, ESPN, and Fox on its live TV service
