Does Now tv cinema package have ads?

Debating over getting now tv, it says 9.99 a month then the small print says an extra 6.00 for 'boost' to stop ads. If I'm paying 9.99 do I really get ads still unless i top it up to 15.99, thats crazy.
If I do it I won't be able to pay the extra 6 to stop the ads so how intrusive are the ads, just at the start of the film or throughout the film.

They on during the films. I’d always paid for Boost (when you could sign up for the ge odd month) because I can’t stand ads when I’m watching TV shows and films on TV.

When I last looked, they’ve stopped signing up for the odd month, like you can do on Prime and Netflix. It’s six months minimum membership periods now (may be different for newcomers).

I think they give you boost gor free for 7 days, then k have to cancel it before they take out money, that's even worse if I'm trapped Into it for 6 months.

I hate ad, I feel we're going backwards by being made to watch ads. I understand free apps need to make money,but monthly subscriptions should never have ads.

We have Boost and I have never paid more than £2 for it - when you say you want to cancel it they give you an offer to tempt you to stay.

I pay £2 a month for boost.

Maybe I'll wait to see if boost has offers, or hopefully they will give me an offer if i try to cancel it. I rechecked the small print and it's shame that it's definitely 6.00 at the moment.
Now is the most expensive of all the movie subscriptions, would you say its worth it?

I don’t watch many movies so just get Now Cinema for a month a few times throughout the year when I have a few things built-up to watch.

I’ve never paid full priced. They always have offers. If you have NowTV, go into your account and cancel and they’ll give you some offers which might include one for Cinema, or Boost.

If you do cancel, they usually send some decent offers within a few days to encourage you to resubscribe.

Think I’m paying €5/month for TV and €3.60/month for cinema. Had Boost for €1/month but didn’t renew when that expired.

For a month or two, yes. But the content on there doesn’t warrant being tied in for six months.
