My Now TV account now allows me to add 6 devices.
This is great improvement, as I always thought 4 devices (with one swap a month) was hobbling the service somewhat.

Yep the 6 devices now permitted on everyone's NowTV account with 3 device swaps per a calendar month is a step in the right direction.
Would be nice to see an option maybe for a slightly higher tier price for families to allow more than 2 streams at the same time, (where 2 simultaneous streams is sufficient for my needs though).

I seriously doubt if the number of new devices allowed per month will actually be three, as this number may just be a result of adding the new device slots. But we will wait and see!

Hi @chai
Three device swaps per calendar month if you need to replace any of the six registered devices on you account is definite.
Where i had the above confirmed by somebody from NowTV Management in a PM conversation.
Also it's confirmed here in this related help article.

Stockholm syndrome.
Only someone who has never had Netflix or Prime Video would think this goes far enough

Yea all we need now is 1080p like every other streaming service. Really disappointed that Sky treat NowTv subscribers like the cousin they don’t want to talk to. UHD would be a nice addition but I’m not holding my breath for that anytime soon.

Sky X (Sky without a dish) will soon be released in Austria (with 1080p streams), and will at the same time replace the Austrian version of Now TV (Sky Ticket).
When Sky X is inevitably released in the UK I doubt it will replace Now TV in the short term, however Sky X having 1080p streams will probably be used as one of the selling points to encourage users to upgrade from Now TV to Sky X.
Therefore I doubt that Now TV will ever get an upgrade from 720p to 1080p streams.

I'm happy to stay at 720p if they just improve the frame rate on the live sports channels!
