It’s available for £46 from Now TV’s website or £50 through Currys PC World, although both options are usually on sale. The extra £4 for the latter includes a month’s free Entertainment, Sky Cinema and Kids TV, plus a day of Sky Sports – we’d spend the extra few quid to get a taster of Now TV’s services.

First, you’ll need an HD TV that supports 1080p resolution, a sound system that supports Dolby Digital 5.1, and a minimum internet speed of at least 12Mbps. There are certain caveats to using Now TV Boost, though.

Boost also lets you watch two sports channels – Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League – at 50fps, meaning even better video quality. Another useful benefit of choosing Now TV Boost is that it lets you stream content on three devices simultaneously, instead of the default two.
