SKY : NOW TV launches the UK’s first ever contract-free TV, broadband and calls package bundle

Online streaming service NOW TV today announces the launch of the NOW TV Combo - the UK's first ever contract-free triple play bundle, offering the latest and best TV, unlimited broadband as well as a range of call packages, all without a contract.

Available from July, the NOW TV Combo comes complete with the brand new NOW TV Smart Box, combining a wide range of live and on demand TV with up to 35 pay TV and over 60 free-to-air TV channels, making it even easier for people to find and watch the shows they love.

Launched in 2012, NOW TV changed the way customers can watch the latest movies, must-see TV shows and exclusive live sports available on pay TV, giving them the flexibility to enjoy great entertainment on their terms, without a contract. And the NOW TV Combo will give customers even better control, enabling them to get TV, reliable unlimited broadband and call packages starting from just £9.99* a month plus line rental, without a contract.

Gidon Katz, Managing Director of NOW TV said: 'NOW TV has got something for everyone - TV they love to watch, when they want and on their own terms. It's why we're not stopping there. With the NOW TV Combo, we're pushing the boundaries again with the UK's first contract-free triple play bundle. Plus, our customers will get the benefits of our new NOW TV Smart Box that brings together free-to-air and Pay TV shows seamlessly. We know people want the freedom and control of a no strings relationship when it comes to choosing their TV, broadband and call package, so the NOW TV Combo is the product and service they deserve.'

Every NOW TV Combo comes with the brand new Smart Box, which is the most advanced streaming box available in its price bracket†, enabling customers to watch the best free and pay TV available all in one place. This means easy switching from the latest episodes of Game of Thrones or Geordie Shore on NOW TV to shows on one of 60 free-to-air channels or Catch Up services, without having to swap inputs on the TV remote.

The new homepage is the one stop destination for all our customers' viewing needs. The super simple homepage also offers editorial recommendations updated throughout the day, featuring the best shows from all the channels. With so much great TV to watch, the new live pause functionality, of up to 30 minutes, means you never need miss a moment of the action from phone calls or tea-making interruptions. It's also easy to turn your standard TV into a smart TV with the new box; simply connect the box to a digital TV aerial and broadband to start watching instantly.
