I’ve paid for Entertainment Monthly and also tonight for Sports Day Pass so kids can watch football. Why can’t I watch Entertainment on a separate new device (Samsung TV)? Help!

The latter, illustrating the sort of situation Now would encounter if your suggestion were implemented, and the sort of message Now would have to put out (and what’s the betting that it wouldn’t be that informative?)
At least, I presume that you wouldn’t expect the stream granted by the Cinema pass to be used by a second Entertainment watcher, if no-one was watching a movie?
I’m not against your idea at all; just pointing out that it would need careful implementation.
The other thing Now could do would be to let you use the browser on a phone or tablet to swap accounts on a device, the way that BBC iPlayer, and other Players, let you sign in.
Now already have that mechanism, but inexplicably reserve it for new customers, when it could greatly benefit existing customers as well, in both account swap and account logon situations; and Now implementing it would let you have an account for each pass and switch straightforwardly, a S(r)MOP.

@RoyB that is exactly how it should work. So if my daughter is watching a movie, it doesn’t stop me watching entertainment. I would also say sports, but I nearly always have boost with Sports for the 50fps live stream.
