Last night I spent £6on Home Alone. Ancient, ancient movie. I've never done that before and won't do it again. I think amazon prime is a rip off but use it for the photo storage and free post. Netflix is good but a lot of the box sets I hear about are not on it.
So this Now TV. Is it worth it? And is it just a one off payment? Any tips?

I pay for Netflix and now tv. Plus have access to prime. I like nowtv but it can be expensive if you want all the packages (entertainment,movies,kids,sports and hayu) but its month by month like Netflix. Normally when you buy the stick you get a couple months free. I tend to pay for the entertainments then every couple of months will have the movies for a month once a few I want to watch have built up

Thanks. So it would be better to have it but ditch Netflix perhaps.

i Have Netflix, prime and now tv entertainment.

Every so often I’ll add a month of now TV movies - don’t think it’s worth having movies all the time as they don’t refresh that often.

NowTV also quite frequently send deals through to add passes - and if you try to cancel will normally offer a discounted month.

We have Netflix and buy or rent the odd film on Google Play (and then Chromecast onto the telly) I'd rather pay £6 every now and then rather than commit to anything more monthly. That and All 4, iPlayer etc is fine for us.

NOW TV has live channels (Sky One, Sky Atlantic, Fox, Gold etc) and boxsets that Netflix doesn't have.

I don't have Prime so cannot comment.

I’ve recently cancelled Now we don’t miss it but I liked the way films were listed

Also cancelled my add on for prime TV (had three different ones) And audio books and kindle books and something else on my kindle for games

Was spending over £50 a month on all this 🙄

You can buy now tv passes on Amazon for a fraction of the cost. They just email you the code. Check the descriptions carefully, but generally they're significantly cheaper.

I have Netflix and Now TV Entertainment pass only. I watch Now a lot more than Netflix. Will cancel Netflix for a few months as it has been poor lately.
When you get Now, try the Good Doctor, my current favourite.
I accidentally paid for a month of AppleTV. Waste of £5.
