Can I access BT Sport on now TV? To watch champions League matches.

On another forum people are stating that BT have updated their terms and conditions stating if you have a now tv pass through now tv you will need to log into the app to view your passes.

Dont know if this will take effec tomorrow or not

If with you. I'm plusnet customer so I hope they update the app all round on Youview boxes just will make it all easier to have it all on one device. I'm hoping we do get the update real soon our Plusnet TV box!

For those who are BT TV customers it looks like all the TV packages have been completely revamped. 

https://www.bt.com/tv/packages/

A quick copy and paste of the super package. 

VIP 

• Everything from the Big Sport and Big Entertainment packages
• Sky Atlantic, Sky One and more premium channels from NOW TV
• All 11 Sky Sports channels from NOW TV
• All four BT Sport channels and BoxNation from BT
• All the Sky Cinema channels from NOW TV
• Full HD channels from BT, plus full HD channels from NOW TV including Sky Sports HD and Sky Atlantic HD

£60 a month

24 Month Contract

The question is, what would this mean for watching Now TV across other devices, could it still be done? 

Either way I am still content with my current Now TV at £11.48 for Entertainment, Movies and HD Boost (at least until May when my deal finishes).

No update or revamp on NOWTV.

They updated the app last night on my plusnet youview TV box and it's allowing all passes now and in full hd

Hi @gavs82008 

Sorry don't know the answer perhaps a BT customer who has signed up to the various packages can confirm.

Apart from the live record with a 7 day EPG which would have been an extremely useful feature to have (especially for sports).

Where i am more than happy using my NowTV Cinema, Entertainment, Sports Passes, together with the HD Boost from various sources at discounted prices to watch three streams on up to six registered devices on my account.

All i would like to see now rolled out on the NowTV service sometime soon is the remaining eight Sky Sports channels getting the 50fps PQ treatment, a red button sports service, a 7 day sports catchup service and maybe a BT Sports App on my NowTV & Roku branded devices then i will be an happy NowTV customer 😀😀😀.

@schnapps 

Spot on, sports catch up and red button are and should be no brainers. God knows why 50fps was not standard across all devices and channels?

Is 50fps standard across all channels on BT YouView? Probably not....

Personally I would like to see Now TV pick up more channels, taking a look at the BT "classic package" then those channels not part of the Now TV lineup should be added to the Entertainment pass. 

Its still begs the question, BT sport on Now TV. We know Ireland has a BT sport pass which is purchasable and watched within the Now TV app. 

My assumption is that for Now TV there will be the same here in the UK, but surely a BT Sport app needs to be launched to Roku devices that are not Now TV stick/boxes?

More to the question when will BT sport be launched across other Smart TVs?

Either way, all improvements and overdue and late improvements finally come. Still far too much left to do do truly improve Now TV to a fantastic standard.

Just can't see how difficult it is for Sky to put a BT Sports App on their Nowtv service like they do in ireland. The amount of money they must be missing out on in subscription is mind boggling . So so so disappointing.

Without giving too much away, I believe this is most definitely in the works. That being said I am not part of any trial for this, I am only aware it is happening, but personally do not know when.

@schnapps 

I suspect some of this will happen in the very near future except red button & 7 day catch up.  FWIW I think now tv should provide this to monthly subscribers even if day week and mobile subscribers are excluded.

Hi @gavs82008 

This help article has just been added to the NowTV Help Centre about BT customers with the NowTV bolt on package purchased directly from BT.

Where it looks like it's six registered devices with two streams standard or a third stream with Boost.

When will the BT sport app be put on the nowtv stick? 

[gavs82008]

@Anonymous User 

Its slated for a summer 2020 launch, however no actual date provided yet. 

[schnapps]

Hi @gavs82008 

It says on this NowTV help article linked below that the BT Sport App is due Spring 2020 (so they have until the 31st of May the last day of Spring).

Unless NowTV haven't amended or forgot to change the scheduled date on the link (Covid-19 would be an excuse if the link date needs updating) ?

I just bought the Now TV stick over the Amazon Firestick and Apple TV, after reading that the BT Sport App would be available from spring 2020 and Sky Sports is also available.  Having just signed in though, I can't see the BT Sports App available anywhere.  Has something changed but not been communicated about the availability of the app?
