Now TV on BT Youview

[Petruchio]

I am thinking of buying a 24hr sports pass for Sky Sports tonight. I have two questions:

1) Is Sky Sports available in HD on Now TV or just in standard def (I have the 1st gen Humax BT Youview box if that makes any difference).

2) What's the picture quality like if not?

thanks

You can't buy the 24hr sports pass on retail or BT YouView boxes, only on TalkTalk YouView boxes.

Who told you that? The sports pass has always been available to me and I have BT Youview. I just haven't bought it so wanted to know what the picture quality is like.

Hi, Can you get the entertainment pass on it?

Oh hang on its catch-up only not live. My bad.
This is God telling me that I need to watch QPR V Wigan down the pub tonight.

There are no live TV channels available on the Youview Now TV app --  live channels are only available from Freeview or by subscribing to BT or TalkTalk packages as the internet delivered live channels need to be provided via the respective ISP.

No, you've NEVER been able to buy the sports pass to watch on a BT YouView box.

It's only available to TalkTalk users:

No. On YouView the NOW TV app only supports on demand movies.
