Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box

Mine is supposedly being delivered today (according to RM tracking).

I'll believe it when I see the red card on the doormat, after I've nipped round to the shop for a nanosecond and missed the postman.

Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box

Well I got it.

Interface is fast, iPlayer is great as always, Demand 5 is by far their best on any platform (probably nicer to use than iPlayer), VEVO works great and so does Revision3. Remote has a weight to it and the buttons are well made.

Hopefully Roku gets YouTube, ITV & 4oD and Rdio make their app available in the UK.

All in all a great buy for a tenner, especially for people who don't already have a streaming box.

Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box

The dev menu can be accessed and it comes up with the local IP to access it so I imagine you can yes.

Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box

Still waiting for mine. I notice today the roku Lt is £39.99 which is quite good.

Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box

Looks like things are about to get very interesting on Now TV.

Can't reveal the source of this however changes appear to be afoot.

"It’s showtime, now. Loose yourself in the smartest, sharpest and most
addictive TV shows from ten of Sky’s top channels, including Sky 1, Sky
Living, Sky Atlantic and Sky Arts. It’s only £9.99 for your month pass.
Watch live, catch up on missed episodes or see entire series,
on a whole load of devices. Entertainment this good? Don’t
miss a thing."

I mainly watch the Sky entertainment channels and Sky Movies on top or the freeview stuff , I'm fed up with the cost of sport at the minute so this could be a viable alternative if I decide to drop the sport.

I agree. SKY appear to be putting together a great streaming service for people who don't want to be tied down to long term expensive contracts.
