What is Now TV?
Now TV is an on demand streaming service that offers both live and on demand content, offered by Sky streaming services. The biggest pull factor for using Now TV as your streaming service of choice, as opposed to competitors like iPlayer or Netflix, is that it lets you watch Sky channels, for a significantly cheaper price!
Another reason many opt for a Now TV pass is that you can subscribe on a month-by-month basis, rather than tying yourself down into a year long contract.
Now offers a personally tailored media experience, as you only subscribe to the type of shows you want to see. There are four tailored membership packages for you to select from; Now Sports, Now Cinema, Now Hayu and Now Entertainment memberships – we will take a look at what each of these packages include and cover in this article, so stick around if you want to learn more!
What do you get on Now TV free trial?
With a Now TV 7 day free trial you will have access to Hayu membership and Now Boost.
You should bear in mind that you will be limited to one membership per person, and so you will only be eligible for a free trial of a plan you haven’t tried before.
All free trials will also give you a Now TV Boost free trial along with it. This allows you to watch ad-free on up to three devices at once, in Full HD and with a Surround Sound speaker system. It is important to note Now Boost free trial will not be available if you only have ‘Sports Day membership’.
The free trial plans include:
- Hayu membership free trial
- Now TV Boost free trial
- Entertainment membership free trial
- Now TV Cinema movie pass free trial
- NOW TV Kids pass free trial.
What happens when my Now TV free trials end?
Once your Now free trial has ended, your membership will automatically renew, and charge you for the next month.
One you have a membership you will be able to cancel ad free streaming anytime, but it’s important to remember to cancel your free trial once it has completed if you want to avoid being charged!
After the 7-day free NOW TV trial your membership will auto-renew. If you used the ScribePay Virtual card to pay for any of the membership plans, we will notify you to approve or decline the subscritpion upgrade to avoid being charged for unwanted subscriptions.

What devices support Now TV free trials – Do you need a Now TV smart stick to stream?
You do not have to have a smart stick to stream Sky entertainment via Now TV free trial. If you don’t have and don’t want to buy a smart stick or smart box, you can download the app on iOS and Android phones, tablets, laptops and mobile devices. LG and Samsung Smart TV also support Now TV free trials, meaning you can download the app and stream on them with ease, and without a TV stick, as long as the model is newer than 2014.
You can access the Now app via internet connected devices, such as Apple Tv, Amazon Fire Stick, iPhone, Android, Playstation or Xbox.
Existing customers Now TV offers deals and free trials.
Make sure you are checking your emails!
The offers for existing customers and Now TV month pass users are sent out via email. The only thing you will need for the offer to work is your unique Now TV pass voucher code (sent by email, in case you didn’t get that).
Another, perhaps more unorthodox way, of being offered a special offer is by cancelling your subscription. Yes, this might not make sense right now but if you are at the point where you want to cancel your subscription and have started going through the cancelation process, Now will try to convince you to stay.
If you don’t already have a Now Tv smart stick, it may be worth getting one. The smart sticks plug into the HDMI port in your smart TV, allowing easier access to stream Now TV. With a Now TV smart stick you won’t have to pay monthly for the Boost plan, and you can get up to 3 months free streaming of Now and Sky TV. It will also be possible for you to get one or two months of your preferred Now TV pass pre-applied when you purchase your stick. If you can find a Smart Stick at a reasonable price, it may be worth it down the line.
Don’t forget, even if you are already subscribed to Now TV on any of the passes, you will still be able to access a seven day free trial for any passes you have not tried yet (excluding Sky Sports pass).
