NOW TV Smart Stick

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 31, 2021

Very impressed with this NOW TV Smart Stick, mine came with a one month Cinema pass.

Installing was quite easy, I followed the instructions to the letter, with my TV off I plugged in the stick into my spare HDMI socket, then connected the power supply to the stick. Powered up the TV, installed the batteries in the remote and started on the stick's installation. It took a few minutes, connecting to my Wifi, remote shaking hands with the TV and so on. I had to break out my Tablet to get a code from the company website and input it. I discovered that the remote control will operate the volume on my TV and also the power button, nice touch!

As I'm already an subscriber to NowTV via an APP on my tablet I had programs set up for me to watch. I spent over four hours watching a program, 4 back to back episodes of a show and at the end of each one I was given the option of simply watching the next episode.

Due to a lack of information from the paperwork given and the company website I feel I am working blind, I don't know if you are suppose to keep the power on for the stick at all times. I'm using my own judgement and I've turned off the power to the stick and will turn it on later to see what happens. I would also like to know what will happen if I remove the stick and use it in another TV. AN FAQ which is easy to find would be nice. Due to lack of information I've only given 4 stars.

Even with a weak WiFi signal I am able to watch programs without any problems, I've been streaming from my PC to the TV for weeks now so I was confident I wouldn't suffer problems with the stick.

Overall I'm delighted with the stick and the chance to watch shows on my Main TV instead of a tablet, it was a logical move.

Update, the batteries don't last long in the remote, order a supply of AAA batteries.

Best to have some computer knowledge, and take your time when setting up.

Hi, I am 88 and made a bit of a hash of trying to set it up. The NOW team did their best to help me, but in the end I had my local T/V man come and do it for me. It is working very well ( I have Sport only at the moment) including the voice recognition, probably because I have an up to date T/V. I have the BT system, and it certainly saves ripping that all out to install full Sky system. Terry K.

Worth the money

First of all the instruction book says 3 AAA Batteries are included.. Wrong mine were missing. Overall set up was reasonable straightforward and a case of following the on screen instructions. What I wasn't happy about is you're forced to input your card details even if you don't want to subscribe to pay per view / on demand. Although yes I agree you don't have to subscribe and you can cancel anytime. I have a Netflix account and that's all I want to pay for. You get all the free catch up apps including BBC IPlayer ITV Hub All4 Five etc. You can NOT get Amazon Prime video app on this stick. The voice activation is only for paid subscription apps excluding Netflix so unfortunately this feature is useless if you only subscribe to Netflix and not Now TV passes. Having said this the stick is good for Netflix it's good for accessing all the UK catch up channels and the You Tube app is good. Navigation is fine and the user interface is basic but we'll layed out. This is ideal to make your TV into a smart TV and you only need to have a free HDMI input on your TV. It comes with a USB power lead that my TV can then power the stick or a separate power wall adapter if you prefer. Picture quality is very good and I'd say its DVD quality. Overall I'm happy with this stick for the price I paid. It is WiFi only and no ethernet socket is available. If you want to convert your TV to a smart TV and have access to catch up tv Netflix sky movies and additional TV channels such as discovery UK gold sky one etc this is all possible with this stick. Set up took approximately 15 minutes.

It doesn’t work. The code to the computer doesn’t work.

It doesn’t work, the code that comes up to put into the now tv website never works, error code each time. A big waste of my money as well as the waste of nowtv membership.
