I don't think TruTV wanted to pay the VM startup costs, much like Spike.

BIB That doesn't appear to be the case when using a PC. When I tried it, I used a track from the music library on my computer which must have been a track I'd actually bought from Amazon, rather than my CD rip of the same song.

It's a shame the combination is not possible, but I've still found loads of albums that can be combined into Prime music playlists or played as a single item. If I was using a tablet or a smart phone, then combining local tracks and Prime tracks would be possible. It's just not possible on a PC.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Argos are selling NOW TV boxes, with 6 months Entertainment pass, for £28.99! That's working out at £4.83 per month. Buy 2 boxes, for £57.98, and that's you covered for a full year with a NOW TV box in your living room and bedroom.

No wonder cord cutting is becoming more and more popular.

It looks like it's the old NOW TV box though, not the new one.

It is the old one however the 12 months entertainment passes for £57.98 is still a bargain. The standard price for an entertainment pass is £6.99 per month, £83.88 over the year. Your saving £25.90 based on the standard price. You could buy the new NOW TV box for £14.99, along with these old 2, and still be saving money

I went to cancel my entertainment pass last night and was offered it at £3.49 for 4 months.

Heard that from a few people now. Seems to be their retention tactic. Who knows how long it will last but they've allegedly been giving that offer since January of this year.

As posted above, you can get 12 months worth of Entertainment passes for £57.98. If you sign up now, as a new customer, your first month is only £1.00. As you've posted when you cancel you get a further 4 months for £3.49. So all in £72.94 for 17 months, which works out at £4.29 per month! You seriously can't beat that for value.

And if Sky added subtitles, I'd buy it in a heart beat. Until then...
