Yes i use them i cancelled sky 12 months ago never looked back i tend to buy movie passes and sports passes off ebay at half the price. Freelander2 GS TD4 Manual in Lago Grey .Roof Mount DVD 9.2''Screen~Window Tints~Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth~Retro Fit Sony Satnav~iPhone Dashmount~Side Steps~Woodco Armrest~Mudflaps~Land Rover Sunglass Holder~LED Interior Lights~Private Plate.Evoque Collected 17th Sept 2012.

I have a NOWTV box on my upstairs TV and have the app on downstairs TV's.

I only subscribe to the movies package as I have normal Sky TV, BB and phone. But the BB and phone line are free in the deal I have so overall works out cheaper.

However if the free stuff was to end next year on renewal I would look at prices for just having the entertainment (normal TV channels and box sets) and movies on NOW TV, and sort out my BB through someone else. IMO Now TV is a good set up, you just need unlimited internet from another source.

(hadn't thought of looking on ebay for passes though )

Sky to me is like the Sun with Murdoch family interests.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

Yes. I've used it! Brilliant.

Like Barton Freelander I buy a week's sports pass when I need to. Good value @ £10.99 Beats paying for a whole year when there're often weeks when you don't want to watch anything.

Now that terrestrial TV has lost so many of the major sporting events, it makes sense.

The picture quality is much better than trying to find some obscure streaming website, somewhere.

I have Virgin, which gives me BT Sport & Eurosport, so with that & NowTV I've got sport pretty much covered.

I have apple TV so I can stream it to the big TV on the wall but........ you do lose a bit of definition when the picture is bigger. Still watchable, though.

Definitely worth trying!!

Got rid of sky years ago, had the full package and I've never missed it now using freesat, Netflix and YouTube. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green
MY57 SE Stornoway Grey. Gone
Nissan X Trail
Discovery V8 LPG
Series II Land Rover

Im on freesat and amazon prime, but still have a now tv box as amazon prime only gives you older movies

just started paying full whack of 9.99/month for movies after using up the various half price introductory offers, I need the black box as panasonic TV's dont seem to have the NOW app

I butchered the panasonic TV remote removing the magnet from the huge Netflixs button as it was so easy to accidentally press, and so cumbersome to get off netfix once pressed.

netflix still available on tv just via the apps menu At work
At home

I was paying sky £115 a month cut this down to £15.40 now just have landline which i don't use and free unlimited basic broad band. and they let me keep the free to air channels and sky plus so i can still record programs. at the moment i pay 2.99 a month for a now tv movie pass till august then will purchase another deal.just buy sports passes as and when i need off eBay. Freelander2 GS TD4 Manual in Lago Grey .Roof Mount DVD 9.2''Screen~Window Tints~Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth~Retro Fit Sony Satnav~iPhone Dashmount~Side Steps~Woodco Armrest~Mudflaps~Land Rover Sunglass Holder~LED Interior Lights~Private Plate.Evoque Collected 17th Sept 2012.

im paying £36 a month for sky TV (entertainment package), unlimited BB and phone line, then pay £9.99 a month for NOW TV movies

I only watch maybe 5 channels on sky but im ok with £45 a month for everything.

Like the others here I have NOW TV - great for movies and box sets - watch eBay for bargain access vouchers - just got movies for 4 months for £16
Easy to use, discrete little box (they can be bought cheap too) and so far no issues with picture quality etc - am on ordinary BB No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

OK sounds good thanks for the info. Common sense isn't very common.

i haven't looked at nowTV, might do so though

£68.50 a month just for Sky HD with Movies and a extra box

Spoke with them this morning about switching to Sky Q, £68.50 + £99 for a box (no 2nd box) or £115 with the second box, same price each month

Also the factoring in of no box with all channels to take away in the caravan, they could not commit to installing the hybrid LNB so my freesat TV would still work within the house

So im now left, wait till Virgin finish the installation in my Town and risk them, for 200mb and sky movies etc or stays as i am Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Seeing the kit you all have I must be living down on poverty street. I do have a classic Panasonic TX-P46G20BA Plasma screen TV which has Freesat and Freeview tuners plus a superb picture. Also keeps the room warm! I have unlimited BB plus phone via Plusnet and Apple TV box which I have not got around to using apart from some YouTube. Not too much bothered with sports except F1. Do like dramas & movies. What am I missing?

I only have Freeview and Now TV - sacked Sky 10 years ago - don't follow sport so it was a waste of time and money for me to have their bundles.
I am being bombarded now by Virgin who want - wait for it - £60 a month!! That is their cheapest bundle package - you can go over £80 a month if you want the lot.
Why would anyone want to record 6 programs whilst watching a 7th??
I'm happy with my minimalist approach  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

So lets see if I've got this right.
1 get a box
2 plug in
3 get pass
4 watch tv

Do I have to sign up or can I get a box and passes off ebay?
Do you have to watch when the programmes are on or there a catch up/ on demand option?
Presume you can't record? Common sense isn't very common.
