Watch Now TV on Sky Q+ box

[RDH]

I have a Now TV account but not a Sky account nor a dish.  Can I watch Now TV on the Sky Q box through the internet.

Hi @RDH 

Nope.

Have a read of this on what devices are supported.

Thanks.  I have looked through the list of devices but Sky box is not listed.

I am a wee bit puzzled why you have a Sky Q box without a satellite dish? That's the only way they can receive a signal I'm afraid.

Also, the SkyQ box is rented and has to be returned to Sky when your contract is up.

You wouldnt have a skyQ box unless you had a dish at some point and didnt return the hardware.

Technically. There are other means of getting them though, but let's not embarrass the OP any further. 😉

The Sky box is not listed on this.

That’s the point. You can’t watch NOW on any Sky devices, you need Sky TV for using a Sky box.

Thanks.  Saves me lots of time trying.

You can’t watch anything without a TV in the equation somewhere.

What make and model TV have you got? Is that listed as a device you can watch Now TV on?

If so, sorted; but if not, a Roku Express or Amazon Firestick, both under £40, plugged into a spare HDMI socket on the TV, will bring you Now, and a cornucopia of other apps,

Hi Rob, I do have a Samsung smart TV and use a Now TV box with it so no problem with that.  I have been given a Sky Q+ box and was trying to work out if I can use that instead of the Now TV box to watch Now TV as the controls have more functions. It seems this is not possible but thanks for your input.
