@Anonymous User As per your note I've moved this into the Off-Topic area as its not directly related to the Entertainment Pass, hope that's ok for you. However this is great news, must admit I never thought I'd see the day coming (and we probably wouldn't were it not for the power of Sky Q so we should thank big-Sky!)
For a lot of people I would imagine this would now mean a NOW TV box/stick ticks all the boxes. Just need to wait and see what part of this year it turns up!
Grreat spot, give yourself a medal!

It's about time. Netflix being on Now TV devices will benefit Now TV as it makes the sticks/boxes etc more appealing. Pay-lite streaming services are complementary, not direct competition.
We just need an Amazon app for the full suite. (The current Roku app is terrible, but the app on my Samsung smart TV is good).
If this has solved your issue please mark this as an accepted solution.
Those little green stars by my name mean that I'm a Community Contributor - not Now TV staff. I just try to help out if I can.

@Andy Trust you to know that. 😄
would it surprise you that I also know about the genre codes the Netflix as well @caseyb1993
I found out about the genre codes by watching a YouTube video. Just one of many questionable things in terms of usefulness that I've learnt by watching YouTube

It's great that Sky are starting to open up their walled garden service (even partially), and NOW TV getting the UKTV Play and Netflix (eventually) apps will make the boxes a better hub for TV entertainment.

Hi, does anyone know if Netflix is free with Nowtv or part of a Package. Or literally just accessible through nowtv and payment is made directly to Netflix.
Thanks 😊

Hi @Anonymous User
Netflix is not free through NowTV and you still need to pay Netflix for the previlage to watch any thing on the Netflix App on the NowTV box or stick.
More info here.
