Hi, just to be clear.

I recently have taken out EE TV and added big sports which I can view on two devices. I'm sure I saw an offer of around £6 to increase the number of devices but I'm unable to find it. Personally, I find it quite difficult to navigate. 🙂

Now Boost (£6) used to let you watch on 3 devices at once, and still does for existing customers, but it’s now back down to two for new customers. The new Now Ultra Boost (£9 from Now, price from EE TV TBA) lets you watch on 3 devices at once, but it’s not available to EETV customers yet. This is what conditions Now Sports.

The HD&4K add-on, also £6, maximises what you can get from the TNT Sports side; I don’t know If there’s a user limit on this side, or what it is, but I’ll have a dig. [Edit: there is a limit, but I don’t think the HD&4K add-on affects it:

TNT Sports on discovery+

You can only access TNT Sports in the UK.

TNT Sports includes access to discovery+ where you can stream all TNT Sports content on any compatible device, including Large Screen access in 4K HDR, complete with immersive Dolby Atmos.

discovery+ Premium RRP £30.99 per month

discovery+ account required and terms apply. See Terms of Use.

EE Broadband contract required.

Requires minimum 400kbps line speed or good Wi-Fi/3G/4G and a compatible device.

Maximum of 2 devices may be used simultaneously.

Do you have either or both of these add-ons?

To have three devices to watch on, in full EE TV mode, you need a further Box Mini, at £10/month.
Or you can use the relevant apps on other devices you have that can support them.

Currently TNT sports channels are also streamed on the EE TV app in upto HD quality so that app can also be used to view TNT Sports or Eurosport if more convenient.

can you watch ee tv from your tv and on the laptop at the same time with a different channel

@Leigh55

Yes. Or even the same channel. And it doesn’t cost extra to do.

The one proviso is that if you have Now without Boost, then you must start the Now browser/app on the laptop first, and then watch Now only from the channels in the EPG from an EETV device, as your second device.

If you have Boost, though, you can watch Now on the two devices with no restrictions at all.

Though note that if you want to stop watching on one of those devices and move to another device, still within your two-device limit, then you must take care to stop the stream you are watching on the device you are leaving - don’t just swap away, or turn the device off before doing that first - or Now will continue to regard the device you are leaving as live, for about 20 minutes, and not let you swap to your ‘third device’ until that time is up.

Do it by taking care to stop the stream, though, and switching to that ‘third device’ is immediate.

Easy when you know how 😛

can you tell me what is the boost

@Leigh55

Boost is an add-on subscription for Now via EETV that means your Entertainment, Cinema, Sports, or other subscription from Now, is available on two simultaneous devices, in HD 1080p instead of HD Ready 720p (which EETV refers to as SD, though it’s a bit better than that), and 5.1 surround instead of stereo.

If your base package is Entertainment, you can buy the £6/mo HD/4K add-on from EE TV which includes Boost, but if your base package is Sports, the £6/mo Boost needs to be bought separately from that.

EETV are working on supporting Now Ultraboost, UHD, 5.1 and three simultaneous users, but the start date for it, and its EETV pricing, are yet to be announced. It’s £9/mo from Now, though, and I imagine EETV will follow that.
