Like many others, I've dipped in and out of NowTV over the past few years to watch GoT and a few other exclusive series but as a general streaming provider this new service is simply not competitive when you compare the monthly prices for 1080P/5.1 audio (which I consider the minimum acceptable quality).
Amazon Prime Video £7.99 (or £79 p.a. = £6.58 per month)
Netflix £8.99
NowTV Movies Pass £14.99
NowTV Entertainment Pass £11.99
NowTV Movies+Entertainment Pass £23.98
While I've never had to pay more than £5 for a discounted monthly Entertainment Pass, the "Boost" would still put this service at £8 a month and you don't even get any movies.
It's a shame really because their movie selection is more current and extensive than other providers but it only costs £12.98 a month to get unlimited Blu-Rays at Cinema Paradiso with more choice, newer releases, better picture quality and 7.1 HD audio.
I suspect the NowTV prices will fall once they realise that customers don't switch in the numbers they must be hoping for.
I'm also surprised there isn't a discounted Movies/TV combo pass to go up against the Netflix and Amazon directly. If such a Pass (in 1080P/5.1 audio) was under a tenner I'd probably alternate between them and Netflix/Amazon.
