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

I think it will be dvds from Ebay. Buy them, watch them, sell them. Should be able to watch a season for the price of posatage and Ebay selling charges if you sell for the same price as you buy.

Walking Dead S1-6 are available with an Amazon Instant Video sub, so if you have Amazon Prime you can watch for free, or depending how fast you can watch you can pay £5.99 for a month of Amazon Instant Video to watch.

Very disappointing 'bait and switch' marketing techniques on Now TV. Stupid decision to remove seasons 1-5 whilst advertising '250 box sets'. Membership cancelled.

I just rejoined now tv in order to watch Game of Thrones from the start.Very disappointed and I feel tricked as all the ads for now tv give Game of Thrones as a reason to subscribe....I will be cancelling today.

I am probably not the first one or last one but after writing to Customer Service they advised me to post my desire to extend the GOT box set.
Hope something can be done about it.
Cheers
