TV streaming service Now is to start showing adverts and scrap its multi-screen option later this month unless you pay extra for its optional Boost add-on service, which is also rising in price.

    In all fairness even though the boost is rising in price (£5 from £3) it does now offer more.
    No ad's 
    HD
    Surround sound
    Muti screen etc.
    Also like everything else you rarely continue paying full price,  currently I'm paying £1 for it till September. 
    Good to note that the movies have actually decreased in price but again only paying £4 till October. 
    Which in the spirit of going off topic reinforces my belief anyone paying for Sky Virgin and especially BT for tv content must be mad.

    No ads - which there weren’t before 
    HD - which it did before
    Surround sound - which it did before
    Muti screen - only when watching The No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
    (Or if you meant multi - which it did before)
    etc. - there’s an etc.?

    But unless there’s an etc., there’s nothing extra for the extra £2; you are just paying to stay the same.

    I've never paid full price for any NOW package so the £2 increase doesn't bother me. So why would it bother a millionaire like you? Does it take you down to your last 10 million?
    :D 
    I'm now happy with the disagree icon, because its gone.

    Be nice if it’s satellite counterpart, Sky, did a “No ads” option.

    You do get some funny ideas. We’re all quite poor here. Even our butler is quite poor 😢
