Set up on BT TV

[Anonymous User]

We have recently bought a new TV connected via broadband to BT TV. It comes with a series of apps, one of which is Now TV movies. I have tried simply subscribing to a NowTV sports package but there is no access to it via the NowTV app on my TV. How to I get the sports package on the TV?

Hi @Anonymous User

Unfortunately at the moment you can't watch sports, entertainment or kids with a nowtv pass on the YouView boxes (only on demand movies is available via the nowtv App on the Youview box).

There are plans to bring nowtv sports, entertainment and kids to the BT YouView platform, but this is not planned until sometime 2019 with no date confirmed yet.

Thanks for your advice. Very disappointing!

Hi @Anonymous User

Yep i got a BT YouView box myself and even though i have a  nowtv cinema pass i don't bother using my BT box due to an outdated nowtv App UI for movies, no My TV feature and SD streaming quailty.

Maybe look at a nowtv black box from Currys which comes with a bundled 2 month entertainment voucher or 1 month cinema voucher for £9.99.
