Now TV review

On demand TV boxsets and movies are complimented by live TV streaming




Now TV is a non-contract Video on Demand service powered by Sky TV and launched in the summer of 2013.
Aimed at those that (for whatever reason) don't want to be shackled to a premium Pay TV contract, it offers a low cost way to consume Sky's exclusive sports content, stream movies from its sundry film channels and keep up to date with some of the best entertainment telly around.

It's a similar proposition to Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video, albeit one with a good deal more focus: you get to choose from dedicated sport, movie and TV content strands, plus live channel streams.
So is Now TV right for you? And if so, what's the best way to watch it?

What's On Now TV?

Now TV offers timed chunks culled from Sky's various subscription channels. For many the biggest lure will be the movie package. Unlike Sky's satellite-delivered platform, Now TV is a dip-in/leave whenever proposition, useful when you've blazed through everything of interest.
New subscribers get a 30 day free trial for the movie service, which then migrates to a monthly fee of £8.99. This auto renews, but you can cut the chord at any time, without penalty. Fill your boots and it works out as a sweet deal.
For less than a tenner you gain access to films at exactly the same time they debut on Sky's various Pay movie channels. Time your buy-in correctly and you can take big advantage of the broadcaster's comprehensive Hollywood deals, goggleboxing everything from White House Down to The Croods.
Films here inevitably appear before they land on rival services such as Netflix and Amazon, and shortly after the DVD/Blu-ray release window.
Content is themed by genre: Disney, All-Time Greats, Action, Comedy, Family, Crime and Thriller, Sci-Fi, Horror, Drama, Romance, Indie and Classics. Now TV also curates special Collections, such as Monsters (featuring Godzilla, naturally, alongside Pacific Rim, Jurassic Park and a host of other creature features).

Why the Nokia X is the best phone you'll never buy In Depth What's its X-factor? The Nokia X hasn't made much impression in the US and UK, but it's a bestseller elsewhere in the world While 2014 will likely be remembered for its Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony and Apple flagships, it's a trio of budget Nokia handsets that have been among the most unexpected and surprising releases so far. We're talking of course about the dramatically named Nokia X and its siblings the Nokia X+ and Nokia XL . They're phones which had tongues wagging ever since they were first rumoured for the simple reason that they were Nokia devices running Android . When they were finally revealed there was perhaps a sense of disappointment at just how low end they were, but that hasn't stopped the Nokia X from selling. According to Saulo Passos, Head of Communications, Mobile Phones at Microsoft Devices Group it's "getting a tremendous consumer respon
