Now — formerly Now TV — has been a popular product on the U.K. streaming market for over a decade now. Initially launched in 2012, it has given fans of drama, sitcoms, films and sports an avenue to watch Sky TV content, just without the onerously long and expensive contracts. Want to watch Now TV from anywhere? We’ll show you how below…
The appeal of a Now Membership is manifold. For starters, it’s completely commitment free, meaning you have the option to sign up on a rolling monthly basis that lets you cancel any time. Plus, it’s divided into different content types, so you don’t end up feeling like your paying for channels that you’re simply never going to watch.
And because it gives access to some of Sky’s most popular content, you can take advantage of Now as and when you need it to watch televisions’s watercooler moments. So that might be every episode of “Heated Rivalry” on Now Entertainment, Ryder Cup golf action on Now Sports, or Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi in the latest “Wuthering Heights” adaptation on Now Cinema.
That’s all well and good if you’re in the British Isles, but what happens when you want to watch the best of Sky while abroad on holiday or for business? That’s where using one of the best VPNs comes in. Find out why below.
