The stick has no inbuilt Freeview tuner for you to connect an aerial to, so unfortunately you can't use it to watch over the air broadcasts like on a Smart Box. You can only watch the on-demand apps and other Internet enabled apps available in the App Store. BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub allow you to watch live channels over the Internet.

 

If you need to be able to connect an aerial to watch Freeview best to carry on using the Smart Box and either use the Stick on a different TV in the house or see if you can return for a refund.

Welcome to the forum. You can buy passes on the stick itself by opening the NOW TV ap and going to the My Account screen, or you can buy from your My Account > My Passes page on the website

Bear in mind if she shares your account rather than using an account of her own then purchases will be made against the card on your account. You might want to consider adding a payment PIN to your account, although if you want your partner to be able to purchase on her own using your account she will need to know the PIN.
