EETV Extras HD & 4K or Now Boost - what's the difference?

Traynor78 — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 13:43:35 GMT

Since the introduction of HBO Max, I watch HBO content via the HBO app on my EETV Apple TV Box instead of the Now app as full 1080p HD comes as standard via the HBO app.

I don't subscribe to any sports channels or content, so was curious to know what the difference is between Now Boost and the HD & 4K extras that are available in this set up?

I'm assuming the HD & 4K extra provides access to both the HD linear SKY/ Now channels via the EETV app on the TV box, as well as the HD content within the Now app itself?

I guess I'm asking is one better than the other or if there's no difference if TNT Sport is out of the equation. Just find it confusing as to why 2 different options are offered by EE for essentially the same thing (again, assuming that it is!) ?

Thanks in advance...!

If your just subscribing to Entertainment channels with no TNT sport channels, there is no difference currently in the add ons.

No one outside EE knows if this will change in the future.

Channel packages change often. The HD & 4K add-on had more meaning in the past, where it would add HD/UHD for Sports, discovery, and some others.

At the moment, I can't see any channels it'd add HD.
