Activating a Now TV Box & Pass

Postby Unicorn » Mon Aug 14, 2017 7:24 am

Hello

Can anyone tell me if the Now TV box has to be activated in the UK or can it be done here, if you have UK bank account or will it not activate if you are not in UK?

Thanks folks....

Is it plug and play or do you need a VPN? My apple and Amazon boxes with Kodi are now dead so all we have is Spanish and Sky news. GRRRRRRR

You might need to adjust how you use the Amazon box. Download the firedDL app then google it to get the download codes and a tutorial on YouTube on how to use it. The app can be downloaded directly from the Amazon app store.
Kodi still works and can be downloaded via fireDL,although I have heard it is becoming more and more difficult to get addons that work.
There are a couple of Apps that can be added through FireDL giving UK TV.

The Now Tv box will require a DNS or VPN set up on your router to work. I use SmartyDNS. Once you set up your account, you can apply your voucher.

NowTV boxes are available at Sainsbury's, in UK, for £13.50 until they are sold out.

Thanks for your help

I already have one set up at home here in Spain. I had to fiddle with the router and I did have Smartydns already. It is working great!

I have another couple coming over and was not sure whether you could activate without a UK address

I was lucky while in London in July because I came across a promotion for Now Tv and got 2 free boxes and around 10 vouchers.

The below link is a great site for "deals and promotions" across a vast selection of products on offer in the U.K.....Nowtv has its own sub section which shows all current deals past and present on its vouchers and boxes.

Just sign in on the new boxes using the same details as the first box.
