Can I Watch NOW TV on Two Televisions?

NOW allows you to stream on multiple devices, but the exact number depends on your membership and whether you have NOW Boost or Ultra Boost. Let’s explore how you can watch NOW on two televisions.

Understanding NOW’s Device Limits

NOW limits simultaneous streams to prevent account sharing and control content access. By default, you can only stream on one device at a time. However, subscribing to NOW Boost or Ultra Boost increases this limit, allowing you to watch on two or three devices simultaneously.

Watching NOW on Two TVs with Boost or Ultra Boost

If you want to watch NOW on two televisions concurrently, the simplest solution is to subscribe to NOW Boost or Ultra Boost.

• NOW Boost: Enables streaming on two devices at the same time.
• NOW Ultra Boost: Allows streaming on up to three devices simultaneously.

With either of these add-ons, you can easily enjoy NOW on two separate televisions without interruption. Simply start streaming on the first TV, then begin playback on the second.

Watching NOW on Two TVs as an EE Customer

EE TV customers have a unique advantage. You can watch NOW on two devices simultaneously, even without Boost, as long as one of those devices is an EE TV box. However, there’s a specific order you need to follow:

• EE TV Box First: Start watching NOW on your EE TV box. Then, you can start streaming on a second device using the NOW app.
• Two EE TV Boxes: If you have two EE TV boxes, you can start streaming on them in any order.
• EE Customer with Boost: EE customers with Boost can enjoy NOW on up to three devices at once.

Troubleshooting “Too Many Streams” Error

If you encounter a “too many streams” error message, it indicates that you’ve exceeded the allowed number of simultaneous streams for your account. Here are some common causes and solutions:

• Account Sharing: Someone else might be using your account. Check your account’s device list in “My Account” to see active devices.
• Previous Stream Still Active: Ensure you properly exit content on your previous device instead of just pausing or closing the app. This signals to NOW that you’ve finished streaming.
• Boost/Ultra Boost Activation Delay: Newly added Boost or Ultra Boost can take up to four hours to reflect in your account. Try signing out and back in to refresh your account status.

Expanding Your Viewing Options with NOW Boost and Ultra Boost

Besides enabling multiple simultaneous streams, NOW Boost and Ultra Boost offer additional benefits:

• Enhanced Picture Quality: Enjoy Full HD with Boost or stunning UHD with Ultra Boost on compatible devices. Plus, experience smoother sports action with 50 frames per second on Sky Sports channels.
• Immersive Audio: Experience surround sound with Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby Atmos.
• Ad-Free Streaming: Enjoy uninterrupted on-demand movies, shows, and sports without ads.

Conclusion

Watching NOW on two televisions is possible with NOW Boost or Ultra Boost, or if you’re an EE TV customer. By understanding your membership options and following the correct procedures, you can enjoy seamless streaming on multiple screens. Consider upgrading to Boost or Ultra Boost for the best viewing experience, including enhanced picture quality, immersive sound, and ad-free streaming.
