Sky’s original Now TV is still the best way to watch Sky TV without the costly subscription and Now the streaming box is even cheaper thanks to Black Friday 2017 and Argos.
As part of the Argos Black Friday deals, you can get the Now TV box with a choice of passes depending on whether you love films, or want access to more family-friendly channels, from £12.49. Sky is also offering a range of options if you buy the Now TV direct and the Sky Black Friday deals offer much more bang for your buck in terms of passes.

More recently, Sky unveiled an upgraded version to its Sky Now TV box called the Sky Now TV Smart Box. It costs £39.99, so is a significant increase on the original box, and (as you’d expect) comes with a number of additional features.
Namely, while the original Sky Now TV box comes with apps pre-installed, to watch TV, you’ll need to get one of the passes mentioned below. You also can’t pause or rewind live TV. The Now TV smart box comes with the same apps but adds a digital tuner, meaning you can watch 60 Freeview and 12 HD channels without buying a pass, and you can pause and rewind these channels. The passes cost the same regardless of which box you have.
