Hi @Anonymous User 

game of thrones has gone due to content rights. NowTV are only allowed to have content available for a certain amount of time, after which they must remove the content. Due to the agreements they have with content rights holders in the case of game of thrones, the rights holders are HBO. HBO content is also some of the most expensive content around, especially game of thrones, so even if NowTV could keep it. The cost of keeping it would probably become prohibitive after a certain point, which means it could only be kept at the expense of losing other content.

 

The slightly better news is the game of thrones box sets will probably be back in February/March next year just before season seven starts

 

It has been known for a long time that the expiry date of the game of thrones box sets was June 13 most devices show the expiry date of content and if content is going to expire within the next 30 days. You will see an expiry countdown on all devices and also the now TV website. I myself warned people over three weeks ago that the box sets where going to expire

The whole reason i bought a now tv box is so i could continue watching game of thrones legally and safely as it was advertised got stream on now tv or sky 1 but as soon as the walking dead came back they got rid of game of thrones and it really annoyed me and there also a lack of episodes when it comes to certain series such as little britain my family and blackadder all with no more than one series and ino GOLD channel shows alot more than now tv has to offer i really enjoy my box and the movies pass is brilliant but entertainment could have a few more episodes to one series rather than galleries of different series with a few episodes from each where as Netflix provide full series even with top gear they have a very wide selection of episodes

@Anonymous User Welcome to the forum. In case you weren't aware GoT seasons 1-6 are now back on NOW TV until 25th Jan.

 

The range of shows on at any one time does vary due to rights issues. For more info on how content works on NOW TV see the following help page

I was concerned that them only being up until January 25th I might not be able to watch them all, but this show is so good that I have just finished my season 1-6 binge! Now I need to find a way to see Season 7, i'm going to have to search the web to see the best option. I cannot wait!

Congrats on getting through S1-6! If you're happy to watch live broadcasts then Sky Atlantic are doing their usual GoT marathon again this year where they show every episode over the Xmas/New Year period. They should be getting to S7 about Monday 8th Jan with 2/3 eps a night, but you have to watch live as they don't get added to catch-up afterwards.

 

If that doesn't appeal it's either waiting for S7 to appear on boxset at some point of buying the season to watch elsewhere.
