What Is Now TV?
Now TV is a subscription-based streaming service owned and operated by British broadcaster and satellite television provider Sky. The Now TV app is an official Amazon App Store app, available for download for all FireSticks registered in the United Kingdom.
This streaming service offers critically acclaimed movies, popular TV shows, reality shows, and sports. Its popularity is based on its no-contract policy, which makes it an excellent streaming service for short-term or on-demand content such as seasonal sports events and reality TV shows. The plans are priced monthly, and you can cancel your subscription anytime.
The app is compatible with all popular operating systems, such as Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. Moreover, when you buy a subscription, you can register up to six devices and stream content from three devices simultaneously.
Streaming content on Now TV is straightforward- you only need to buy a membership (plan), create a NOW account, and start streaming your favorite content. Each membership offers exclusive content you can boost for an ad-free and HD streaming experience.
I like the app because:
- It offers hundreds of classic, trending, and popular movies, TV shows, sports content, and reality TV Shows
- It provides affordable and noncontract packages to let you stream premium and exclusive content
- Offers an ad-free and full HD streaming experience
- It has a seven-day free trial, except for the Sports membership

Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Each category has subcategories, further organizing the content in an easy-to-navigate system. For instance, when you select the Movies category, you find Highlights, All Movies, and Watch Live. Under All Categories, the movies fall under different sub-sections, such as comedy, action, family, crime and thriller, 5-star films and sci-fi, and more.
The magnifying glass symbol at the top right corner of the home screen lets you quickly find what you are looking for. Type in the keyword you seek and click search to see if what you want to stream is available. For example, you can enter ” Formula 1″ to find live channels showing the Formula 1 Grand Prix races.
