If you have an older TV without smart features and apps built in, then a streaming stick is a good way to get access to a lot more content quickly and cheaply. Less expensive and bulky than a games console, and a whole lot less fiddly than connecting a laptop via an HDMI cable, the Now TV Smart Stick is up there with the best of them. Just plug it in, and you get access to iPlayer, Netflix and – of course – Sky’s own channels if you’re prepared to pay for passes.
That’s what makes this particular Now TV Smart Stick deal so tempting: not only do you get the stick itself for £14.99, but you also get two months’ worth of Sky Cinema to enjoy, as well as a day pass to Sky Sports. You don’t have to use these right away, so you can hold onto that pass until your team are next televised (I may be waiting a while for Derby County’s next match, but you get the point.)
A Sky Cinema pass will normally cost you £9.99 per month, and a day’s access to the sports channels will cost another £7.99. That means you’re looking at a value of £27.97 before you even get on to the stick itself.
And that stick is very good. As we say in our review: “it’s great that we’re finally at a point where we can buy a well-equipped media streamer for the price of a single movie ticket or, alternatively, a couple of pints in a London pub.”
Suffice it to say that when you get content thrown in on top of that, it becomes an even more attractive proposition.
To get it at this price, just click through to Currys, add the device to your basket and enter the code “NOWTV50” at checkout.
