BT Sport on NowTV

Hello - I have a NOWTV box for a couple of years now.

Can I buy a pass to watch BT sport  via my NowTV login?. I really want to watch on my smart TV.

I have BT Broadband so if I upgrade and pay for 12 months I can only watch BT Sport - online - and not on my smart tv.

Apologies if you have answered this before but I rarely go online to the Nowtv website.

I do buy Sky sport passes and currently a Entertainment pass.

Thanks

Unfortunately you can not watch BT Sports on any NowTV device or NowTV app.

 

If you can watch BT sports online via a computer or mobile device and you want to watch on a  TV.

 

Then my opinion the cheapest solution would be to buy a Google Chromecast device, where you can download the BT Sports App onto say a smartphone or tablet etc, where you can cast the BTSports onto your TV.

 

I got a BT box in the living room to watch BT Sports, but in the Bedroom i have no BT box and use a Chromecast to watch BT Sports.

 

If you go down the route of the Chromecast you will need a spare HDMI port on your TV.

The recent deal done between Sky and BT should gain both parties when it comes into play next year. I currently also sub to BTTV and find the package good value for money. It will be interesting to see what deals might be floating around when this new joint BT/Sky venture eventually kicks in. Hopefully Sky will stick a competitive price on it to entice us NowTV subbers to use the app on our boxes/sticks instead of needing a seperate device as we do now.

They sure are.  I only have Virgin to get BT Sport cos there aren't many ways of getting it.  They should make it available to those who have broadband even if it isn't with BT.

Must admit that I wish BT had a sports pass equivalent.  Fortunately I can get it via Virgin, but there is so little on it, that the £18/month extra is pretty steep.  Still given the chronic performance of certain London teams in Europe and the FA Cup, I able to cancel it in the middle of March.

How do I get BT sport on NOW TV?

 

I have a Roku device which i dont believe will show BT Sport but I bought a Now TV HD stick which I was under the impression would allow me to viw BT Sport with my Sky Sport Pass.

 

I dont seem to be able to view it ? do i have to install a BT app? How do I view it?
