Entertainment Pass Changes: We are losing 3 channels

[Anonymous User]

So let me get this straight,

You are removing 3 channels and you are adding only 1 and you expect us to pay the same amount?!?

How is this fair? You should add at least another channel like  SyFy or AMC.

It's not that expensive . In fact, I think it's less than BT and talktalk charge to get the kids channels on their TV services.

Looking at the BT website. The basic kids pack only gives you on demand content is 3 pounds a month if you want the kids live/linear channels you actually have to have kids extra and to get that you have to have their standard entertainment pass as well, which means other services might actually be more expensive than nowTV. Especially if you factor in that you would have to have broadband from BT as well and they are not the cheapest when it comes to broadband

Good. Should I expect the cost of the entertainment package to go down by £2.99 ?

Maybe time to try netflix instead.

Had a quick look on Viceland website, doesn't look very promising to me, but will reserve final judgement until I've seen it. I'm dreaming now but would love to see Syfy or Watch maybe, won't be holding my breath though.

So I've just bought a load of Entertainment gift passes (to cover me to Christmas) so that the kids can watch the kids channels and now you're stripping those channels out...? Not a happy Now TV customer. 😞

I had a look on Google at Viceland and the programs listed on it. Some quite frankly sound pornagraphic! Just the titles are not kid friendly, one had f*** in it! I hope these won't be visible to kids.

so where is this announcement as this is the first I've heard of it?

(unless it was in an email i didnt bother to read or havent got yet 😕 )

Really unhappy about this.  The three channels being removed account for about two thirds of the viewing in my household.  Most likely to ditch the entertainment channel and sign up for the kids only.

Also will be checking out kids selection on Netflix and Amazon Prime this is making a good value service much less attractive.

Have a rethink NOW TV and at least reduce the entertainment package accordingly.

I agree with many people here im not happy either.

and while i would agree with some argues about paying for other peoples Kids packages - IF   they were to drop the main price, which they dont appear to be (at least from what i have seen, i could be wrong, i will go back and check later) but in effect its brought the total "package"  cost to nearly £10 + £10 for films + whatever for sports (and while i agree the film package is slightly better than others - i still dont think the "total package" cost is worth 3X the competitions. + Netflix and amazon "sector off" the kids stuff - surely with skys resources they could do somrthing smarter - mind you increasing your revenue some would argue is the smartest thing. 

Either way im not particulary happy about another price increase in a few months time.

for those wanting to get good kids channels i have had prime and netflix you can now get both for the same price as now tv entertainment - and the kids stuff along with documentaries are great.

take a look........
