Hi @Anonymous User, 

Just an update to let you know that Netflix is now available for you to download through a select number of NOW TV devices. 

For more info check out our post about Netflix here.

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum. So just to confirm, no there is no Netflix app available on the NOW TV Box (only those apps in the App Store on the box are available), which is why most of these posts are talking about other devices instead.

Hi @Anonymous User where did you get the impression you could watch Netflix on Now box? I'd love it if we could. By chance do you have a Chromecast? As you can use that for all three services.

@Anonymous UserUnfortunately it's an easy mistake to make as NowTV boxes are made by Roku but have different software.

 

I started with RokuLT and then switched to Roku HDMI Stick which can be purchased quite cheaply.

 

The NowTV black box is still excellent value for money and is an excellent device for demand services.

I've got to admit, i'm very impressed with this device now i've started using it. It is indeed excellent value for money. It is also much, much better performance-wise compared to Fire TV stick. Never get any freezes, which happened frequently with Fire TV.

 

I'm hoping the Roku box will be the same, as I'm probably going to purchase one of them so I can use netflix and Amazon prime.

@Anonymous UserThe NowTV box is based on Roku 3 which is a powerful box, hence good performance.

 

My HDMI Stick is slower and a lot cheaper but I can live with it. There's a more powerful version in USA but unfortunately Roku haven't released it in UK.

 

One sees US imports for sale but......

Where did you purchase it from? If it was from Argos it should have come with either an 'Entertainment' or 'Cinema' bundle: -

 

NOW TV 'black' box with 3 month 'Entertainment' pass @ £14.99

NOW TV 'black' box with 2 month 'Cinema' pass @ £14.99

@Anonymous User Welcome to the forum. Funny you should ask about Netflix just now!

 

For you and anybody else waiting for Netflix on NOW TV, Sky have announced a new partnership that will be bringing the Netflix app to NOW TV boxes and stick sometime later this year!
