NOW TV looks good value, esp via Talk Talk, who have a box with the app so you can at least get Freeview channels.

My worry is it is too complicated to use, especially for my 4 year old. At the moment he simply presses the mic and says "nick jr".

Would he have to fire up the NOW TV app and browse that way to get to the kids channels? I will need to check if either of my TV's have the NOW TV app. I do have a fire stick, but think that will be just as akward to navigate too.

Are there any cheap PVR boxes where you can record normal TV but also has the NOW TV app?
I'm not sure as I've only ever looked into BT TV where Now is on the EPG and can be recorded.

Sky scrapped their Now TV boxes in favour of making their app ubiquitous on TV's etc, so hopefully it will be on your TV's

The people that I know who have it have a Freeview or Freesat recorder and use the Now TV app for pay TV, either live or on demand.

Note that the kids channels are included in the price with Now TV and don't require a £6 extra monthly payment like Virgin or Sky.

If your TV's don't have the app, Now TV boxes are plentiful & cheap, in fact I might have a spare one that you could have or you may be able to cast it to your TV.
