I believe only you can answer if the deal is any good... If you watch many of the channels you have it looks a good deal 😀

I did a self audit on the channels I was watching on Stream only to discover that it focused on Sports and more Sports.

As a recent ex Stream customer I was paying £68.19 for Ultimate TV (whatever that included), Sports incl Sports +, Ultra HD and Dolby Atmos,, Netflix Premium.

Currently paying £34 with Now TV for Sports (20), Cinema (5), Entertainment/ Kids (5), Ultra Boost (4)... which I think is a good price.

Interestingly with Stream I paid for channels and programmes I did not watch viz Signature..... silly me.

With Now TV I don't have to subscribe to channels I don't watch.

Now TV offered Entertainment and Cinema for £10 pm so went for it.

Only recently discovered some of the great 4K nature documentaries on Sky Nature channel/ VOD... absolutely stunning picture and sound on my TV setup. Cinema provides at least 1 movie I am interested in per month.

On holiday now till January so feet up and TV binging 🥳

@David683 Yes I would say this is a good deal. I'm paying £49 a month for ultimate, sky cinema, add skipping and UHD. I don't have sport at present. If I wanted Sky Sports, it would be an extra £20, but offers are always changing . The best deal I saw when I joined just of 2 weeks ago was Sky Sports and TNT for an extra £40, which would have taken me up to £89 per month.

I've come the other way having recently been a Now TV subscriber, having had Sky plus and Q in the past. It was a good sevice , but there wasn't the same choice of channels and not the option to cloud record. I had some good deals from Now, but the wanted to put my sport up from £20 to £26.99, which is still cheaper than the full £33 per month.

I'm currently watching the Force Manchester. The only option I have , apart from watching it live, is to Cloud record.

I'm enjoying Stream at the moment. Is it worth it? Probably not, but as long as I can afford it, it's not a problem. However, I would consider Now again in the future.

Hi @Al+East+Lothian A few months ago i took advantage of the Sky F1 monthly option for £20 per month which I have now cancelled as the season is finished. It occurred to me that I could get the full Sky Sport package on NOW for a similar price. As there is no playlist feature on NOW if I was to take that option next season is there any sort of catchup facility for when I can't watch a live broadcast?

Hi @Fothergill1 ,

Yes you can. I just checked on the Now app, which is still on my phone. If I was still subscribed, I could watch the full Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

You'll need to see what sort of deal you can get. Standard deal is sames as Sky, I think, for full sports at £33 per month though you may get a deal if you're a new customer.

Thanks @Al+East+Lothian In that case I will definitely have a look when the 2026 F1 season starts. I tend to watch live when I can but some of the races are at unsociable hours.
