  • Annoyingly I had an old NowTV account, and so I didn't qualify for the cheap Sky Sports deal and had to go for the full £35/month version (plus boost at £6/month for HD).

    Presumably they just look at which email account you signed up with, no? I had a NowTV account six years ago using my old email address, so I'm just going to use a new email this time and see what happens.

  • My NowTV account was also linked to my home address. Physical addresses are probably required for passing on to TV licensing people.

    Hence the comment about creating a new account in my wife's maiden name. Any attempt to create another account under my name (and probably even just the surname) would probably flag up their "trying to sneak a new 6 month deal" code even if I used an vastly different email.

    (It was also linked to my BT account as I signed up for the Sky Sports deal and didn't have to supply any form of payment info. I can now see it on my BT bill, and I was also able to access Sky Sports on the NowTV app on my BT TV box without having to provide any new login details.)

    Really? Didn't think you need a licence to watch NowTV. Why would they pass on details to TV Licensing when it's a mobile only deal?
