Now TV does not require UK customers to have an existing TV subscription. Anyone can rent a movie costing from between 99p and ÂŁ3.99, or users can opt for the full subscription plan that costs ÂŁ15 per month.

At launch only movies will be available but TV series and sports, included the Premier League & Champions League, will be added later on. With Now TV, Sky hopes to challenge Netflix and Lovefilm on the UK market.
