Hi,
I just signed up to Now TV Entertainment and have a YouView DTR-T2000.
However, the On Demand App only offers Movies (much like the Sky Store app alongside it) - but not the contents of the Entertainment package.
I've left it for a day to see if it's an account clearance thing - but no joy.
I understand streaming of live channels doesn't work, but what about the 250 box sets I've signed up for?
What is going on?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately YouView only supports the on-demand movies on Movies Pass, you can't watch the Entertainment or Sports pass on it.
Have a look at the following list of supported devices as you might have something else in your house that you can use instead, eg games console, Chromecast or Apple TV.

Hi @Anonymous User,
I disagree... As there are plenty of other devices you can use to view the 'full blown' NOW TV service on. Perhaps the following 'Help Centre' article may be of use to you: What devices can I use to watch NOW TV?
Cheers

I would say that while Talktalk offers a similar package, the lack of Discovery Channel is a major irritation. And I can't watch that on Youview Nowtv.... It appears that the only catch all answer is to pay £4 million a month and subscribe to Sky... 😕
@Anonymous User There are plenty of devices that support the NOWTV entertainment pass. 😉

I can understand there are various contractual issues between BT and Sky. They're obviously competing in the same space so there's obviously a bit of friction there. So I can't watch the entertainment stuff from NowTV on my YouView box, not the end of the world, as others have said, I can watch on Chromecast. I've got loads around the house.
Except NowTV restrict that as well. They count each Chromecast as a device which is completely bonkers. So I have my YouView box as 1 device, the lounge Chromecast as 1 device, the bedroom Chromecast as 1 device, and my phone as 1 device. Then my son tries to watch something on his Chromecast but he can't because it won't let me make any changes as I've already made 1 change that month. My daughter also can't watch anything on her tablet also. It's utterly ridiculous. I know I can beg a support rep to give me more changes but why should I have to? I've never had to with Netflix. That wouldn't solve the problem anyway, it's still not enough devices to support what my family uses (YouView box, 4 Chromecasts, 4 phones/tablets).
I'm pretty sure my 3 month special offer is up soon anyway and I can't wait to cancel it. The films available are mostly old and the new ones are generally rubbish. About the only good stuff on Entertainment is Alan Partridge which I've now watched.

Hi Darren
If you really want to cancel your 3 month entertainment pass you should do so now rather than later because if you wait too long you could find yourself paying an extra £6.99 for another month of viewing you don't want.
However, if you cancel your pass now you will still get your 3 months of free viewing without running the risk of having money debited from your account.

I was foolish enough to believe the TV advert that said I could view ITV Encore with Now TV.
I am a BT Vision/Youview customer. All I seem to get from Now TV is Sky film channels
This is not wehat I felt I would be signing up for, Therefor I am now cancelling Now TV.

You can view ITV Encore with Now TV but not on a YouView/BT box, as they offer their own subscription service!
Perhaps the following 'Help Centre' article may be of use to you: What devices can I use to watch NOW TV?
If you're still interested here are some direct links to a couple of Argos 'bundle' product offers: -
NOW TV 'black' box with 3 month 'Entertainment' pass @ £14.99
NOW TV 'black' box with 2 month 'Cinema' pass @ £14.99
