Sue, have a look at hot UK deals website for Now TV boxes with 6 months entertainment. I know this sounds weird but for the last 3 December's I've bought a year's worth of Sky Movies & Entertainment packages by buying 3 NowTV boxes with Movies & 2 boxes for a year's entertainment. I just set Google calendar to remind me 3 days before the voucher expires, then open another box and add another voucher. I also sold the unopened unused Now boxes minus the voucher, I got around £10 each for the 5 boxes on eBay.
I hope that's clear, sounds more complicated writing it here.

Well, I got my telly last Sunday. Ended up getting a Super Ultra HD 49incher with HDR Plus and Dolby Vision, and Harmon Kardon Virtual Surround speakers, which are supposedly on par with sound bars. It does sound nice, but not as great as expected, but I do have a 5.1 system.

Now TV took a bit of faffing about to set up. You log in with your existing Sky account, but the last software update caused a glitch so that all non-alphanumerical characters aren't recognised. So I registered my 3 months free Entertainment pass to my Sky account, then couldn't log in on the TV. Googled the isdue and discovered the ONLY workaround was to create a new account, so losing the 3 free months. However, I got one month of free Entertainment AND movies, so it's swings and roundabouts, I guess.

Sky tried their damnedest to get me to stay. Instantly offered to drop my £38 monthly fee to a mere £22, which just p***ed me off, to be honest.

But it's all rigged up now and its bloody lovely.

Still alive and kicking. You can't get rid of me that easily!
