Product Information

Now TV is now an incredibly popular choice among binge-watchers, offering low-cost access to Sky's exclusive collection of films, sport and TV programmes. That means that you can watch shows like Game of Thrones without having to sign a contract. The main fault we could find – other than the price – is the sluggish interface. It’s a bit slow, and takes a second or two to perform every action. If you don’t mind that, and you’re willing to pay extra for all the bells and whistles – this is a great Freeview device, with a Netflix app as the cherry on top.

A Freeview box requires an aerial to receive broadcasts while a Freesat box requires a satellite dish. Below, we’ve run through some of the other differences: Freeview It is worth mentioning up top that, while all of these passes have a monthly fee to access, they all have a 14-day free trial to give you a little taste of what to expect. You can redeem this the first time you sign up and get 2 weeks of free viewing. The cheap price comes with a cost, of course – the interface (switching channels, moving around the EPG) is rather slow and some have had issues with the EPG occasionally showing garbled text, picture quality degrades fast with bad reception, the remote is small with too many tightly-spaced buttons, and there’s no internet connection or apps – so no catch-up TV. Yes, you can still keep your Smart Box if you cancel your membership. However you won't be able to watch any movies, TV or live sport with the NOW app.

Humax is a big name in the Freeview Box market, as they have been producing various models for years. As such, they know what they’re doing – but they charge extra for it. Note that, though the box and channels may be HD, by running the display through a convertor/adapter and an analogue TV, the image will no longer be in high-definition. Do I need an aerial to watch Freeview? It’s not the cheapest out there, and it has no recording capabilities – but it makes up for that with how fast and easy to use the interface is. If you’re only looking for Freeview channels and the major catchup apps, the T3 will serve you well. Previously known as the NOW TV Entertainment Pass, the NOW Entertainment TV membership has 17 channels you can watch either live or on-demand, which includes access to Sky's original content as well as the best of US TV.NOW TV can also be watched on most of the main games consoles (notably Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4). Viewing habits may be shifting towards internet content like the best music streaming services, but we think you’ll agree that public service broadcasters are important for society. A recent survey found that 90% of Brits want to see continued support for Freeview and broadcast radio.

It’s an online streaming service that gives you access to Sky on-demand, and catch-up. It’s available on gaming consoles, smart TVs, phones, tablets and via the Now TV smart box (which connects to your TV with an HDMI cable). You can go month-to-month, and there’s no need to take out a yearly contract. You do need an internet connection, but not a satellite. And there are no live TV recording capabilities.
