We bought several of the NowTV branded Roku boxes. Even before taking into account that for some of them we paid less that the value of the supplied passes (we even paid as low at £15 which included 3 months Entertainment or 2 months Cinema passes), they are great little boxes that just work. Maybe not lightning quick, but certainly now slow. Without any addon, we get HD out of them, although the feed may not be any more than 720p. Quite simply, we don't care, the picture is pretty good most of the time and when its not, there is an explanation, like wifi speed.

Not sure what the Now TV is offering now, but these little Roku boxes have transformed how we watch TV and have been a blessing over lockdown with a nightly episode from some boxset from a catchup service. It also saved our bacon for Formula 1. Buy the time our £33.99 sports pass runs out, we will have got 4 race weekends out of them. I believe same the following month if races align nicely. Yet to try Netflix out on them yet though.

If you came across them on a supermarket deal and bought one just for the pass, you probably wouldn't bother to get a more expensive solution out of its box.
