how do i add boost to a mobile membership

Hi @wilko 

If the Mobile Sports Membership is the only Membership you have with NOW then you can't purchase a Boost Pass.

There is a paragraph on this linked article explaining about it.

Boost would be pointless on just a Mobile Membership because the NOW App on smartphones has a max picture quality of 720p 😡.

Wouldn’t it stop ads, though, and maybe make the Sport 50fps, if it could be done?

Hi @RoyB 

50fps is not available with a Sports Mobile Membership on a smartphone and not sure if it would be a major benefit on such a small screen.

Because the majority of the Sports watching would be the five permitted Sky Sports live channels with a Mobile Membership, then adverts are mandatory for all.

Never used a Mobile Sports Membership to be honest and not sure if you get adverts for watching on Demand Sports with a Mobile Membership, but i wouldn't fork out a £5 Boost Membership for avoiding adverts just purely for on Demand Sports on a freebie Mobile Membership anyway (though a Boost purchase is not possible if Mobile Sports is your only active Membership according to the link that i posted).

@schnapps @wilko 

I see, thanks.

BTW, I note that nobody has yet asked @wilko how he was hoping to benefit by buying a Boost.

Maybe we missed something? 😛
