Hi everyone,
Once a box is activated with a Now TV account, is the activation permanent?
The reason I ask is because I want to sell an old Now TV box with Plex installed. Obviously if the box is deactivated the customer will have to do a factory reset and sign in with a new account, which isn't ideal for them.
Thanks for any help.

@Anonymous User if you leave the boxed logged in it will be possible for them to watch your content and if the payment isn't enabled to buy passes.
As the box needs a valid account to be used at all, I'd suggest that they have their own NOW TV account, as at some point in the future if you change your password, delete your account or they have a bug requiring a factory reset they'll need to do it anyway.

Thanks for your reply artesea.
I was worried about the potential pitfalls you mentioned, so I tried a couple of things as a precaution:
After doing the above 2 things, the box is still activated. NowTV channels can't be watched, but iPlayer, Youtube etc can still be used.
Based on that, I thought it would be safe to sell on the activated box- unless anyone knows different?
