does Boost work on 3 different IP addresses

If I upgrade to Boost, can my daughter watch from her PC at her home?

Considering Boost for the 1080p but there'll only be one usually, max two watchers at my place.

Makes you wonder how Netflix manage it….

But my point was that it’s against Now’s T&Cs, no matter how easy these may be to circumvent technically, so we really should not be telling anyone it’s OK to do this. And those who do it do best to keep it sub rosa.

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.

Why would it be an issue?

Because she is not in the same household.

So what? You can have one account in London playing, one in Manchester - what difference does the IP Address make? As long as its in the UK, IP Address will never affect playback

It doesn’t matter a penny where you are as long as it is in the UK. 

Have a full read of what boost provides. You need to check everything because 1080p isn’t supported on all devices and that includes PC.

ROFL nobody follows this. Can you imagine your IP Addressing changing on your iphone/tablet every time you move to different wifi hotspots, and NOW stopping playback.

Come on Royston.
