Using now box in a caravan.

We have just bought a now tv box for use at home but can it also be used in our caravan?

 

Wifi is transmitted over the caravan site, there are no individual routers. We are able to watch iplayer etc on ipad there using wifi but want to use the now box to upgrade our tv which has no catch up.

The tv is not very modern , no hd so now box would be useful.

 

Will the box easily adjust from one wifi to another and will it work on older tv ( it does have hdmi connection).

New to now tv so any help most welcome.

Welcome to the forum.

 

If the TV has a HDMI port then you should be fine to connect the box to it. The box can connect to the caravan site wifi if it's the sort of wifi where they provide you with a wifi name and password that you connect to in the same way you would connect to your home wifi, but if it's the sort of access where you need to open a web browser and enter the password into a webpage (like some hotels or Internet cafes do) then the box won't be able to connect to that.

 

Bear in mind the wifi network would need to be able to provide you with a fairly stable connection for good results, NOW TV recommend a minimum speed of 2.5Mbps.

That’s how these WiFi services work.

 

For your first browser login, instead of getting the page you want, you get a page from the WiFi service you are using.

 

Then you put in whatever details it is asking for, and once it is satisfied you are a bona-fide authorised subscriber, it will either carry on and take you to the page you asked for, or it will let you close the page you are on, and re-request the page you wanted.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
