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."

Whatever you do, make sure that you don't disclose anything about the new box on the open public forums, please ensure that all postings about this new box are made on the Private Board section only. 

Thanks

On the email you received from the NowTV Trials Manager, there is an email link to contact them.

Suggest dropping them an email explaining that you can't access the Private Board on the forums.

I am sure they will sort you out.

I don't think you can apply now.

The registration page is still being advertised (in a box on the right hand side of the community home page).

It leads to here:

http://community.nowtv.com/t5/NOW-TV-Box-black/Test-the-NOW-TV-Smart-Box/m-p/358612#M3013

and the link on that page still seems to open the survey to register.

I guess it's still open to any further interested customers, but don't know for how much longer so - if you want to but haven't done so already - get in quick!

Thanks for the link - I've applied - hoping it's not too late!
