NOW subscription - streaming devices

[Sportie]

Hello, if i get monthly subscription for sky sports, how many devices i can sign into simultaneously?

One. If you subscribe to the additional Boost package, £6 a month, you can have three.

With both packages, if you start the Cancel process, you may well be offered a discounted price going forward, which will ease the pain.

Thanks a lot for the reply. does that mean one at a time ? i can switch between devices provided i use only one stream at a time ?

i shall negotiate for a discounted boost package as well, thanks for your tip

Yes, you can switch from one device to another, and in seconds, provided that you exit the stream cleanly on the first device, rather than just exiting Now or switching off the device.

But you have to be careful to do it this way, so it sends a message to Now to say you have stopped streaming, so Now know it’s OK for you to pick up elsewhere straight away.

If you just exit, Now don’t know you have quit until their checker makes its rounds, which it does every ten to twenty minutes, and only then would you be able to use another device.

So be sure to exit cleanly when you want a fast switch to another device!

But as long as you do you can switch to any one of an unlimited number of devices you may have that can support Now, as often as you like.

Hi @Sportie 

There is a flash sale on the NOW website offers page for 6 months Sports at £21 per month plus 1 month free Boost if your interested, see screenshot below (assuming you are a UK Customer and don't subscribe NOW through a third party such has BT TV for example).

There is also a NOW £15 per month for 6 months Sports email offer floating around at the moment, but this is for selective customers by invite only, maybe check your email inbox and spam mail just in case you are lucky.

If you cancel the free 1 month Boost during the first month, then you may get a retention Boost Membership offer to keep it running for a little while longer at a discounted price.

Apart from the three simultaneous Streams with a Boost, if you are watching live Sports then the Boost includes 50fps for smoother playback on NOW 50fps supported devices which for me is important.

Not to forget full 1080p HD rather than the usual 720p.

Hi @redchiz1 

Talking about 1080p and more importantly for me 50fps.

I wish NOW would bump up their Bonus Streams and catchup on Demand Sports service from 720p 25fps to 1080p 50fps with a Boost Membership.
