Does anyone have this?
I currently have sky TV for both tv and internet but I'm moving to a flat soon that has internet so I wouldn't need that
Now seems to be a good solution to not having enough choice on freeview

I've got it (and like it). The basic box doesn't require any subscription but it only gives you things like BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Youtube, etc. That's fine for people who simply want to make a 'non-smart' TV into a 'smart' one but otherwise you need to buy one or more passes. A Sky Cinema Pass costs £9.99 per month and gets you access to over 1000 films. An...

I have it. You get the most popular TV and Movies from Sky, on demand. There are also several live channels including SKY 1, Living, Atlantic, Arts.
You can buy a box from the Supermarket and it comes with a pass installed. So you get two or 3 months telly including in the box purchase.
I would recomend it. Or a Android box that cost nothing after the initial purchase, and has far more free content.

A Sky Cinema Pass costs £9.99 per month and gets you access to over 1000 films.
An Entertainment Pass costs £6.99 per month and lets you watch Sky 1, Sky Arts, Sky Living, Sky Atlantic, Gold, Fox, ITV Encore, Comedy Central, MTV, ABC Studios, Nat Geo Wild and the Discovery Channel.
(There's a separate pass available, at £2.99 per month, for access to 6 kids' channels)
You can also watch all of the Sky Sports channels (except pay-per-view events, such as world title boxing matches) by buying passes but, while they're useful for occasional viewing, they work out expensive for regular access. A single day costs £6.99. 7 days costs £10.99. A month costs £33.99.
I've just got the Entertainment pass, which I find useful for watching Gold (and a few programmes on Sky Arts, etc). The good thing about it is that's there's no commitment. I can cancel my subscription at any time (and then pick it up again later if I wanted to).
As Gromit says, there are 'starter packs' available in many larger supermarkets, which work out cheaper than buying the box and your initial passes separately. (They're also available online but they're sometimes a few pounds cheaper in supermarkets).

The 'ordinary' Now TV box doesn't have pause-&-rewind facilities but they've recently introduced the (higher-priced) Now TV Smart box. [That's a ruddy silly name for it though because the original box has 'smart' capability anyway!]
I've not yet seen the Now TV Smart Box in supermarkets and it doesn't seem to be available with any introductory offers (as the ordinary boxes are) but it does have pause-&-rewind available. (It also allows you to access all of the main Freeview channels over the internet, which could be useful if there's no TV aerial at your new address). It costs £39.99 (plus any passes you might want to go with it):

(Neither type of Now TV box offers a recording facility for later viewing though).
