Customers of the Sky owned NOW TV<\/a> video streaming service will be hit by a price hike of 14.3% on 15th August 2017 when the monthly cost of the provider\u2019s TV Entertainment Pass rises from \u00a36.99 to \u00a37.99. The good news is that NOW TV<\/a> Combo (Broadband, Phone and TV) users aren’t affected.<\/p>\n

The move makes NOW TV<\/a> more expensive that Netflix’s standard HD streaming plan (\u00a37.49), although the two are quite different services and NOW TV’s Entertainment Pass also includes live access to 11 premium TV channels (e.g. Sky Atlantic, Sky One, Fox, Discovery etc.).<\/p>\n

The other good thing is that NOW TV uses a 30 day contract and so there should be no worry about being locked into the service. One way to push the price increase further into the future is to buy one of those \u00a314.99 NOW TV (Roku) boxes online that includes a 3 month pass (effectively \u00a35 per month), but don’t do that multiple times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
