Using other apps on Now stick without a pass?

[MarkC]

Hi all.

We have a Now (Roku) stick and a long standing Entertainment pass.

Looking to suspend the Pass for a few months whilst there's not a lot to watch.

Would we still be able to access the other streaming apps (Netflix, Prime, Disney+) with no pass? It seems we should as Now is just another app listed on the apps screen?

Cheers in advance.

Hi @MarkC 

No problems using third party Apps if you decide to cancel your NOW Membership.

Don't factory reset the Stick anytime in the future if you don't have a current NOW subscription, otherwise to get the NOW Stick running again you will need either to start a NOW trial or take another NOW subscription again.

Many thanks for this swift, and hoped for, answer! 👍

Hi @MarkC 

There is some information in this NOW article linked below.

Though the article doesn't mention what happens if you factory reset the NOW branded device without an active NOW Membership on your account.
