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).

Samsung Level On Review

Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions Proof: Facebook affects your mood More negative posts in the news feed can affect user emitions A Facebook News Feed packed with negative status updates from peers is more likely to spur individual users to follow suit, a news study carried out by the social network has shown. The company's experiment artificially tweaked the feeds of 689,003 users to show more downcast or more positive updates from their friends over the period of a week. The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a direct correlation between the emotions conveyed in the users' own posts over that period of time. While it's unsurprising that something sad or happy happening to a large number of close friends and acquaintances can affect our emotions, the study offers proof social media is affecting the mood of users, for better our worse.
