Product Information

Critically acclaimed shows and kids TV you won’t find anywhere else with an Entertainment Membership. Well, you will be once you’ve signed up for an account online first. Once you’ve done that and selected which Now TV passes you’d like to sign up for (from a choice of Movies, Entertainment, Kids and Sports), you have to connect the box to your Wi-Fi network – or, you can use Ethernet if you’re feeling old-school. As for audiovisual standards, the Smart Box supports up to 4K HDR at 60fps, though if your TV doesn’t support the higher standard, the Smart Box will automatically adjust to your display’s properties. You can override these settings manually in case the box doesn’t detect your TV correctly. The Best of Catchup screen offers a fairly random selection of suggested apps and particular TV shows from all services, while the Settings menu is self-explanatory. If you’re looking for a 4K streamer, Now TV’s Smart Box is definitely a decent option. It now, at last, supports Netflix and Prime Video and can deliver that content in 4K, which is great news for those struggling with clunky on-TV apps or having to switch to other streamers to watch their favourite shows. And it still provides a cheaper option for those wanting a cheaper way to watch Sky Sports and Sky’s exclusive TV shows.

If you've got an LG smart TV or recent Samsung one, chances are there's a NOW TV app on there, meaning that you don't need a separate box. Setup is just as easy as on the other devices.

After an alternative to the Sky Q box above? Your best bet is Virgin Media’s Virgin TV 360 box because it offers many of the same premium channels and recording capabilities. The key thing to note is that if you want the Virgin Media TV service, you need to have its broadband too. Once you do, you’re getting a competitive Sky rival that delivers a huge selection of premium channels (including Sky Showcase, MTV and Comedy Central), the ability to record six programmes simultaneously while watching a seventh, and the same 1TB of storage that the standard Sky box includes. Got a Sports Membership, and one of the devices listed below? You can access extra channels on selected sports events using Bonus Streams, including additional EFL matches and F1 Race Control.

The Smart Box has all the major ones covered: BBC iPlayer, All 4, Demand 5 and ITV, plus YouTube, Vevo, Vimeo and UKTV Play, which offer catch-up for channels such as Dave and Yesterday – although considering how many shows are repeated on Dave, this seems slightly unnecessary.
