New internet TV service launches tomorrow
NOW TV, the new internet TV service from Sky, will, from tomorrow, will open up more choice for consumers by making Sky Movies followed later this year by Sky Sports - available across a wide range of internet-connected devices.
Building on the increasing popularity of watching TV over the internet, NOW TV will offer access to Sky Movies in a new way.
Customers can pay & play for instant access to an extensive range of over 1,000 movies through Sky Store including the very latest now on DVD releases and much-loved classics - read old movies. From launch, now on DVD titles will include recent releases such as We Bought a Zoo, The Woman in Black, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, This Means War and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Pay & play movies on NOW TV range from 99p for classic titles to £3.49 for the latest blockbusters.
For an 'all-you-can-watch' experience, NOW TV also offers the monthly Sky Movies Pass with instant and unlimited access to the entire Sky Movies collection. Each Friday, there are up to five new and exclusive Sky Movies premieres, at least 12 months before they are available on other online subscription services. In fact, they say, Sky Movies offers customers access to around three-quarters of the years top 100 UK box office movies. At launch, the Sky Movies Pass comes with unlimited, instant access to titles such as X-Men: First Class, Bridesmaids, Green Lantern, Cowboys and Aliens and more.
All NOW TV customers signing up for the Sky Movies Pass can enjoy a free 30-day trial. Following the end of the trial period, the Sky Movies Pass is available for £15 a month.
Available to anyone in the UK with an internet connection, NOW TV will launch tomorrow on PC, Mac and selected Android smartphones; on iPhone, iPad within the next month, on Xbox later this summer and YouView when it launches. NOW TV will continue to develop for other platforms and devices, including Sony Playstation 3 and Roku streaming player, with further announcements to follow.
More great Sky content will also be added in the coming months, with Sky Sports due to launch on NOW TV before the end of the year. This will enable NOW TV customers to enjoy live action from the Barclays Premier League, UEFA Champions League, England Test cricket, Heineken Cup rugby, ATP tennis and the Masters from Augusta. The introduction of Sky Sports will be followed on NOW TV by shows from Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, Sky Arts and Sky Living, including home-grown drama, original comedy and US shows.
