Is there any chance Freeview are going to be adding Now TV into the players list , or is there any way of downloading it
Many thanks
Q1 Doubtful, NOW TV is owned by Sky, they aren’t exactly known for supporting so called competing platforms.
Q2 – No Way
If you want to subscribe to NOW TV, the subsided NOW TV boxes are very cheap. Note compared to Netflix and Amazon Prime are limited at best to 720p.
eg

Many thanks Graham I thought as much.
Or you can cast Now TV from your smartphone or tablet if you have one to something like a Chromecast dongle plugged into a spare HDMI socket on the TV.
I dont know about other TV manufacturers but NOW TV is available as an app on all my Samsung TVs so I have ditched the boxes.
Also available on Android and Windows 10.
Hi guys thanks for your reply’s, I do already have the app on my BT youview box and a Chromecast dongle in my kitchen, just would have been nice if it were on Freeview as well
The Now TV app on your BT Youview box is limited in what it offers (no sports for example) though that is due to change in 2019 following a recent agreement between BT and Sky.
