While those two are squabbling..... 😛
If you don’t use a WiFi connection, you will have to use an Ethernet connection.
This means getting a NowTV Smart Box in place of the Stick, about £45, and running Ethernet cable into the man cave, price unknown.
Alternatively, you could use a pair of PLAS (PowerLine Adaptors) to pass the Ethernet over the mains into the garage. About £40.
So about £85 that way, all in.
And still the WiFi problem for anything else you might want to use in there.
So, best all round, use a pair of PLAs where the remote end is also a WiFi hotspot:-

£40 or £60. I use the higher-spec £60 set (faster, dual band) to give me WiFi in my garden room, though the £40 set might do you.
And thus still use your existing NowTV Stick.
The other great thing about this solution is that it gives you WiFi all over the man cave. You don’t want to be out there and find you have to burn mobile data to use your hand-held devices.
If your TV is Smart, that will probably want the WiFi as well. And if you have anything that needs Ethernet, e.g. a YouView box, there’s a port for this on the £60 pair, and three ports on the £40 pair. Though who needs three remote Ethernet ports these days?
Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
If you take an offer that comes with a ‘free trial’ of Boost or another Membership, Cancel them straight away. You will still get the full duration of the trial, and if you decide you do want to continue with one or another of the trial products, just revisit the Cancel, and UnCancel it.
