advertising

I cannot believe that I am now getting advertising before I watch a show. NOW TV is the most expensive streaming service I am subscribed to and I do not expect to have to sit through any advertising. I am going to cancel my subscription just on principle.

What sort of advertising?

 

Promos for NOW or third party like Tesco?

 

If it’s the latter then you can get boost and that will get rid of third party advertising

True, but it doesn’t exactly help with “NOW TV is the most expensive streaming service I am subscribed to”, does it? 😢

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

This link will explain in full detail what boost is all about.

In short

  • 1080p and 5.1 sound
  • No third party adverts
  • 3 streams instead of 1

Thanks for the info gavs8 but Im not looking to pay NowTV more than I already do.

I never had adverts show up in between episodes of a series before so Im not going to pay extra to have them removed. As I previously stated NowTV is already more expensive than other services that don't have adverts so paying them more is out of the question.

That’s not entirely true.

 

I am paying £9 for boost, cinema and entertainment membership.

Whereas Netflix is around £13.99.

 

It’s all about cancellation offers.

Adverts not just before the programme but also three times during the programme.  I'm very disappointed with this and will not be subscribing to NowTV again.

Just cancelled, not paying for ads.

Don’t want adverts but still want NOW. Then you'll need to take out boost.
