Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box
" Do I need a Roku account to access other apps?
When using your NOW TV Box, you do not need to set up a Roku account to access apps in the Roku Channel Store. A Roku account is only required if you use a Roku box."

Mind you I will most likely set up a Roku account to get the full benefit. I suspect though that the amount of Roku apps you can install will be very limited.

Pretty much as I expected , locked down it will be interesting to see what gets added and how they develop the Now TV service.

that shows there is access to the hidden menu which means you should be able to side load apps. I hope that devs will take the job on and either this device will be flashed to a stock Roku or apps will simply be sideloaded
I imagine within a few weeks we will see ways of making better use of this

Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box
well info on some sites are starting to show Dev mode is available which means in theory side loading should be possible. I have sourced a Plex zip to try when mine arrives which will certainly be a good start. In theory is should be relatively easy to build your own Netflix channel ( if you have a clue I do not lol ) so hopefully there will be access to files

Re: Sky announces Now TV set-top box
The tracking number doesn't work at all on the royal mail site but to be honest I've had that before.
I'll just be happy when it gets here - I can be patient, a little that is
