Quite frankly, Now TV is rubbish compared with the likes of Amazon. The big shows that Amazon buys from the studios, that are released as weekly episodes, also have all previous seasons and current season episodes available. Netflix is the same.
The fact that Sky can't do that with HBO shows, considering the amount that they paid, is tantamount to robbery by HBO or stupidity on behalf of Sky.
Personally, I think that because HBO make it so restrictive to gain access to their shows' back seasons at a reasonable cost, although I don't do it myself, they deserve all the illegal downloads that they get.
And the three month exclusive access to HBO Now via Apple products is pathetic; I'm sure it will lead to even more piracy. Not everyone worships at the alter of Apple! Two egotistical companies having a love-in  |
Well said.

I thought that these adblock type services only blocked the adverts that you find on sites such as this one. Will they prevent any adverts from being streamed before/during the YouTube material that you actually want to watch? If so, this would be useful for the ITV Player etc.
