NOW TV's offer is divided into various specific tickets based on the type of content we want to view; we do not have to activate all the tickets, but we can choose whether to activate only one, only two or only three out of four, so as to customize the offer of contents and channels that we can view. The tickets currently available are:
- Ticket Cinema: at a cost of € 9,99 per month, it offers access to over 1.000 on-demand films and allows you to watch 8 channels of the Sky Cinema package in live streaming (Sky Cinema 1, Sky Cinema Hits, Sky Cinema Family, Sky Cinema Passion , Sky Cinema Comedy, Sky Cinema Max, Sky Cinema Cult and Sky Cinema Classics).

To watch NOW TV contents on our TV, we will have several methods available, so that we can access the platform quickly and easily:
- App for Smart TV: the most convenient method, since it is sufficient to install or start the NOW TV app from the Smart section of the TV and enter the access credentials to access all the contents of the active ticket. All Smart TVs manufactured by LG, Samsung Smart TVs from 2012 onwards and other recent Smart TVs manufactured by Sony and Philips are currently supported.
- NOW TV Smart Stick: if our TV does not have the Smart features or the NOW TV integrated app is not present, we can point to the dedicated Smart Stick. It connects to an HDMI port on the TV, connects to the Internet via the home Wi-Fi connection and allows you to view all NOW TV content at the highest quality.
- Google Chromecast: if we have a chromecast connected to the TV, we can use it to watch NOW TV in live streaming, just start the cast from the app for Android and iOS (as seen in the previous chapter).
- Game console: NOW TV app is currently available for Sony PlayStation 3, Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Microsoft Xbox One consoles, so you can view all movies, TV series and live streaming broadcasts using the connected console to the TV.
- Vodafone TV: if we have the Vodafone set-top box, we can access the NOW TV app without problems to watch our favorite programs; it is currently included in the Vodafone TV offer.
Conclusions
NOW TV is probably the best way to access Sky's best content without necessarily having to use a satellite dish and decoder. The channels available in streaming are of excellent quality, as are the contents available on-demand (we are on Netflix levels, at least with high definition).Since NOW TV works via the Internet, we will need to make sure that our connection speed is adequate, otherwise we risk seeing sudden freezes, freezes and buffering. To use the NOW TV service it is sufficient to have an ADSL or fiber optic line of at least 2.5 Mbps in download (standard definition).
To access the high definition content the bandwidth demand rises up to at least 3.5 Mbps in download, while to take advantage of the channels and films broadcast in Super HD a 1080p e 50FPS you must have a connection for at least 10 Mbps in download.
In this regard, I invite you to read our guides for the Check your internet connection speed and how to choose the Best Optical Fiber: check coverage and offers.
If you use the Smart TV app or a game console for NOW TV, we recommend that you take advantage of the connection via Ethernet (more stable than Wi-Fi), perhaps helping us with the Powerline technology.
