Well, @Anonymous User , you  don’t have to, but if you don’t you won’t be able to use the box for anything other than a paperweight after 6 October. So, yes, if you want to continue enjoying your NowTV service then you either need to upgrade to a stick or switch to some other compatible device. A fully-fledged Roku stick, although more expensive that the Now TV stick, will give you access to more streaming apps. Other options would be (but not limited to) a Chromecast ultra or a Youview box.

Looks like my white now tv box is being sent for recycling then.

@sb64 if it's the only device you have registered and use to access NowTV, you may be entitled to a free stick. Email

 

customerservices @ nowtv.com (ensuring no spaces).

 

If you have other devices registered, unfortunately you'll have to pay for a new device.
