NOW TV is a popular streaming option in the UK, but how does it stack up against a full IPTV subscription? Here's a straightforward comparison.
Content breadth
NOW TV sells access in separate passes — Entertainment, Sky Sports, Cinema — each priced individually, and costs add up quickly if you want more than one. A full IPTV subscription typically bundles equivalent (and broader) content into one flat monthly price.
If you only want one specific pass occasionally, NOW TV's flexibility can make sense. If you want broad, ongoing access, IPTV is usually the better value.
Pricing over time
Stacking multiple NOW TV passes (Sports + Entertainment + Cinema) can easily exceed £30-40/month. A comparable IPTV package typically runs £10-20/month for a broader channel and VOD selection.
For households wanting consistent, all-in-one access rather than pay-per-pass flexibility, IPTV tends to work out significantly cheaper long-term.
Device compatibility
Both work across most major devices — Smart TVs, Fire Stick, mobile — so device support isn't usually a deciding factor between the two.
The real difference comes down to whether you want the pay-per-category flexibility of NOW TV, or the broader all-in-one access of a full IPTV subscription.
