Why has Games of Thrones season 1,2,3,4,5 gone from nowtv?
I'm no longer able to view it!
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

Even if I'd started when it first came out, I wouldn't have watched them all. I don't spend my entire life watching tv. I might watch an episode a week at most. So the time limit is crap.
In that case, I suggest you (and others) either buy the DVD's or buy the seasons via Amazon Video...

Unfortunately under the license agreement with the studio there is a time limit that NowTV can have GOT on their service.
GOT seasons 1-5 have now surpassed this time limit agreement, but may be available on their service in the future (usually the seasons reappear just before a new season is aired, keep an eye out on the forums and also subscribe to the NowTV GOT blog for updates).

@Anonymous User have a look at the Girls boxset on any of your devices and on the episode list you'll see the countdown next to each of them. It was exactly the same for Game of Thrones.
