Well i bought a new black box from Amazon in the end as after reading reviews i was put off getting the Stick. £11.99 for box with 2 months ent pass plus a £5.49 sky store voucher.. bargain.
Shame that as per usual the problems being reported are just being ignored, my account is still all messed up, no repsonce from any staff member.. well the usual NowTV service of course.
At least i was able to apply the voucher code.. so i can't buy any sticks/boxes/passes or even view my account details but a voucher code works.
Guess i will make use of the two months i now have to watch some boxsets then call it a day. Shame, i really thought NowTV might of improved since 6 months back when i last used it but seemigly it is much worse now than ever. Aside from my account being completely messed up, website even more buggy than it was, live chat that never works, i now see how mucked up the app is.. in particular the watchlist. It no longer sync's across devices/account (and maybe is the account issue thats the problem there) but half the shortcuts don't work.. "oops something went wrong", i can no longer add a programme without getting all the stupid "extras" also being added which you have to then scroll through, it even adds extras that are "no longer available".. whats the point in that!! You try delete a show, it deletes a ton of other related things also.. what a complete mess.. what idiot thought this was a good system?
oh, and then theres the adverts we must now suffer before each episode.. great now if i watch something like South park with 18min episodes i have to put up with an advert break between each one.. loud, flahy, horrid things too. May as well stick with Freeview for that crap! You cant even take a peak at a particular episode or set/show to see what it is like and if it might appeal to you without first having to watch a advert.. oh and by the way.. why would i want to watch an advert for something i already have!!
I used to love NowTV.. was really great when i joined years back.. but now just another company that got too big for there boots.. see's the £ signs and loose's the quality and never listens to the customer, and as i am sure many will confirm, customer service is terrible.. the usual robotic, non english speaking drones.
When i think of NowTv i don't picture some awsome professional streaming company.. i picture a small group of spotty teenagers attempting to run an online service from their bedroom or basment, with no experiance or real knowledge on what they are doing..
