Welcome to the forum. You only need to buy a pass to watch content in the NOW TV app, you don't need a subscription to use any of the other apps (apart from the Sky Sports News HQ app).
However you do need a valid NOW TV account to set up your box in the first place.

To creat a valid account I presume you first have to take out a free trial account for 14 days? What happens if you decide not to carry on with the free trial after 14 days, will you still have access to the youtube app?

@Anonymous User That's exactly right. 🙂
Once you cancel a pass, (make sure you follow all instructions and receive a confirmation email) you can use all the other apps without needing NOWTV itself. 🙂

This guide should answer your question, start a 14 day free trial and then cancel straight away (you will still get the full 14 day of the trial).
When you cancel the trial make sure that you go through the step by step on screen instructions until you reach the cancellation confirmation.

So if you cancel your pass it appears that most of the free apps will continue to work like youtube etc, is that correct?

Thats correct.

What has not been mentioned is that NOW TV boxes come function locked and you need to create a NOW TV account (requiring a valid credit/debit card) to unlock them.
However once a box has been unlocked all the catchup services/apps remain available even when you stop subscribing to NOW TV services.
