NowTV Boost - Free Trial (Existing Customers)

Posted 21st Nov 2019

What is NOW TV Boost?
NOW TV Boost is the way to enjoy sports, movies and shows with better picture and sound quality than ever before on NOW TV.

Not only that, but Boost also lets you stream on 3 devices at once instead of the usual 2. All for just £3 a month.

I’ve already got a Pass. Can I get a free trial of NOW TV Boost to go with it?
If you’ve got an Entertainment, Sky Cinema or Kids Pass, you can start a free 7-day trial of NOW TV Boost whenever you fancy. Just head over to the Passes & vouchers area of My Account, and select Start free trial. Your free trial will cover all your active Passes, including any Sky Sports Passes you've got.

If you’ve only got a Sky Sports Pass and no other Passes, you won’t be eligible for a free trial but you can add NOW TV Boost for just £3 a month. Head to Passes & vouchers and hit the Buy now button.

Keep in mind you won’t be able to get NOW TV Boost if you’ve only got a Sky Sports Mobile Month Pass, or if you’re billed for your Passes by a third party such as iTunes or Vodafone.

Wow, let's charge extra for something that's pretty much at least standard from all of our rivals.

Was debating paying for another year upfront if there's a good offer on Black Friday, but not sure now. Especially with Disney+ on the way!

I think most people will say no thanks......trying to charge an extra £3 a month just for HD is taking the p155

Sky / Now TV just can't seem to grasp that ultimately they'll have to offer the same or better for a similar price or they'll just lose many customers.

May be so, but NowTV is the only one where if you threaten to cancel you're more than likely to be offered discount passes for 3 months. By doing this recently, I got Entertainment for £1.60/month for 3 months & Cinema for £2.40/month for 3 months.

Just went to cancel my entertainment pass and movie pass, as the annual deal I had during last year's Black Friday offer is coming to an end and I was also offered £1.60 entertainment and £2. 40 movies a month for three months.

I'm not paying extra just for full HD and 5.1 though. They are just extracting the urine there.

Whilst obviously it would be better not to be charged again for it, the quality upgrade watching the football in 1080p/50 on my 65" 4k TV probably is worth three quid.

Stream quality is 7831 for those who know about such things

i have the sky sports season pass (10 months for £199. My mate and i (different towns) shareded the subscription 50/50. Now the boost has option for 3 simultaneous viewings, so now will "sublet" the third screen for remained of month to another mate, to pay for boost. Ways of getting round the boost, to avoid the increase.

I took the free trial but cancelled recurring payment immediately. Thanks (edited)

Can't say i'm surprised seeing as they still have a £6 charge for HD on their normal satellite packages for Sky Sports, still ridiculous though.

I think that day will eventually happen but it's going to take some time. Their profits last year were apparently over a £billion and their highest ever. In a few years time when the profits start stagnating instead of increasing they might start to change to pre-empt the drop.

Sadly if people continue to stump up the extra money there going to keep on charging.You will only get change if enough people say " No thanks not anymore ".It will take a while because people are on contracts ending at different times,but stick with it.People power is good when everyone sticks together.
