What is NOW TV and how does it work?

NOW TV is a streaming site, a bit like Netflix or Hayu, which is connected to Sky - but can be cancelled at any time.

Customers can watch NOW TV channels on their games console, smartphone, tablet, computer or TV.

You can watch Sky channels live, as well as accessing the On Demand catch-up service.

There are individual packages for sports, cinema, entertainment and kids channels - while you can also buy day passes for the sports channels.

You can even sign up for Featured Combos - which include line rental and broadband as well as TV.

Customers can save TV shows, matches, and movies on the Watchlist, to view later, but it's a streaming service - which means shows can't be downloaded to watch offline.

Can you get a free trial?

Yes, if you're unsure about whether or not you want to be a permanent NOW TV user, you can sign up for a .

After that, if you are convinced, it will cost you somewhere between £3.00 and £21.99 a month based on which pass you choose.
