How Do I Purchase a Now TV Sports Day Membership?

[BARNESIP]

I'm a BT BB customer with a YouView Box and a Now TV Lite Entertainment subscription. Logging on to the Now TV website to purchase a Sports Day Membership, I am now redirected to My BT in order to make the purchase. I did this last month, but when I attempted to do this earlier this evening I couldn't find the option?!?! Hence, my son and I missed the Miami GP!!!!!!!!!!

So, can someone give me a clue please?

As far as I remember, you can't buy additional passes directly from Nowtv using your BT Nowtv account details and you'll need to set up a separate Nowtv account using a different email address. If you do this, you will need to log out of the Nowtv app and log back in using the alternative email address and you will have to watch via the app and not the EPG.

EE tv is effectively a middle man for now tv. You have to subscribe for at least 24 months. 

All the good stuff like UHD  cheap deals (I have never paid full price) and sports passes are only available if you subscribe direct.

You should be able buy it through your account on the BT website.

Choose Upgrade TV then Manage EE TV  Extras, there you can buy a Sky Sports Day Pass for £14.99, it will be activated immediately.

I just checked and the option is there on my account.

You can and I have.

Not true. I have purchased Now TV Sports Day Memberships for years.

I am no longer getting the option to purchase a Now TV Sports Day Membership.

If I select ...

My BT (Home) > Get more from My BT (Products) Manage > Your Products (TV) Manage > Now Entertainment M'ship 

I just get options to add monthly subscriptions for TNT Sports, NOW Cinema, Netflix, Asian Mix, and NOW  Hayu.

Or if I go ...

My BT (Home) > Explore EE TV > Manage EE TV  extras >

I get the same four monthly options.

Also be advised any changes to your subscriptions regarding EE tv usually triggers a new 24 month broadband contract.

BT allow you dip in and out of TV packages as you wish there is not a requirement to recontract.

Also I currently subscribe to the ''full works' TV package the first 3 months of which are costing me a total of £25 per month,Id like to see NOW match that kind of discount.

Often thought who fell for these "first three months " offers .

Obviously from months 4 to 24 you pay full price which the savings made from now over the same period easily wipe out any alleged savings you think you've made.

Of course there's no requirement to reconnect, it's often done without warning.
