NOW TV to launch most advanced box yet

"Online TV streaming service, NOW TV, is to launch its most advanced TV box later this year. The brand new NOW TV Smart Box will bring together NOW TV’s wide range of pay TV content and over 60 live free-to-air channels.

Additionally customers with a NOW TV Box will see new a brand new interface (UI) roll out to their TVs from February. The new-look UI will include a number of great new features including a content-rich homepage offering editorial recommendations of what to watch across catch up TV apps and pay TV content from NOW TV. A new ‘Best of Catch Up’ section, curated by content partners, will also arrive showcasing all the best shows our customers may have missed in one place.

Gidon Katz, Director of NOW TV said: “The launch of our new homepage on the NOW TV Box will make it easier than ever for our customers to quickly find and watch their favourite shows. And when the new NOW TV Smart Box arrives later this year, it will be the perfect one-stop box to get a contract-free, flexible way of watching the best of pay TV and free-to-air content all in one place.”

NOW TV worked with Silicon Valley based Roku Inc. to develop the new NOW TV Smart Box which will sit alongside the existing NOW TV Box, with pricing details and further information to be made available later in the year."

I remember when the NowTV 2015 black box was introduced back in August last year Argos was the first Retailer to have the new box on their website, places like Amazon etc if my memory serves me right followed a couple of days later.

Hopefully this will be the case with this new 2016 smart box (perhaps emailing Amazon Customer Services Dept for confirmation that they will be selling the box and when they expect stock) ?

Maybe a member of the NowTV Team can confirm the full list of official retailers that will be selling the new smart box (a pure guess on my part that it may be the usual NowTV shop outlets & website retailers) ?

Ah yes the box that gave Sky some palpitations, when Argos sold me one early. The Spanish Inquisition followed when I revealed that here.

When someone gets the box would they mind post pictures and/or videos of the new box and how it looks?

@Anonymous User that's exactly the same link I was about to give 

@Anonymous User remember what channels you can actually get depends on where you are in the UK. So depending on where you are you can get up to 60 channels and up to 12 HD channels.
