Managing Now account after taking Sky sport via BT

[Anonymous User]

First post 🙂

I am looking at as the Now Sky Sports to my BT TV package.

I already have Cinema and Entertainment packages directly through NowTV.

If I use my NowTV account details on BT TV will I still be able to manage the Cinema and Entertainment packages on NowTV? 

Hope that makes sense.

Don't think so, if your wanting to add Sky sports via BT then you will need to let BT transfer your account over to BT for billing. 

Unless you create another account, which would prove more hassle than what it's worth.

@Anonymous User You can do whichever you prefer. Bear in mind that subscribing via NOW directly gives you more flexibility with only one month commitment at a time, along with the opportunity for better discounts on pricing. The main advantage of going directly with BT is that you can watch and record content directly through their EPG on the BT TV box.

It’s about as clear as mud, but your options are here:-

https://www.bt.com/help/tv/learn-about-tv/channels-and-packages/what-channels-and-add-ons-you-get-with-the-different-bt-tv-pack

My interpretation (based on the details for ‘new customer’ ; please do your own similar analysis for the two ‘existing customer’ categories if you need this):-

If you go for the Big Sport package , you get Now Sports plus a bit more. Or you can get the Sport package, and then add Now Sports.

Both options let you keep Now Entertainment and Cinema direct with Now.

I am unable to determine if ‘Sport plus Now Sports’ differs from ‘Big Sport’ in any material way 😢

If you go for Entertainment, Big Entertainment or VIP, this will impact on getting Entertainment and/or Cinema direct from Now.

If you don’t have at least one of the above, then you don’t have BT TV, and so you can’t just have the Now Sports add-on without any of the above.

Anybody interpret things differently?
