You can watch NOW TV on a maximum of two devices simultaneously, even though you can register up to four devices to your account.
NOW TV allows its members flexibility in managing their viewing devices while also setting limits to ensure fair usage. Understanding these limits is key to enjoying your favorite shows and movies without interruption.
Device Limits Explained
There are two primary limits when it comes to watching NOW TV:
- Registered Devices: This refers to the total number of devices you can associate with your NOW account.
- Simultaneous Streams: This refers to how many of those registered devices can actively play content at the exact same time.
Here's a breakdown of the device restrictions:
| Feature | Limit | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Total Registered Devices | 4 devices | You can add up to four different devices (e.g., smart TV, phone, tablet, laptop, streaming stick) to your NOW account. These are the devices that are recognized by your account as authorized to access NOW content. |
| Simultaneous Streams | 2 devices | While you can have four devices registered, you can only stream content on two of them at the same time. If you try to start a third stream, you will typically be prompted to stop one of the existing streams. |
Managing Your Devices
Keeping track of your registered devices is important, especially if you share your account with family members or frequently switch between different gadgets.
- Adding Devices: When you log into NOW TV on a new device and start watching content, that device is automatically added to your registered device list, up to the four-device limit.
- Changing Registered Devices: If you've reached your limit of four registered devices and want to add a new one, you will need to remove an existing device first. You are typically allowed to make one change to your registered devices per calendar month. This policy helps manage account sharing and ensures the system isn't overused.
- When to Manage Devices: You might need to manage your devices if:
- You get a new phone, tablet, or streaming device.
- You sell or give away an old device.
- You encounter an error message about reaching your device limit.
By understanding these simple rules, you can make the most of your NOW TV membership and enjoy your entertainment seamlessly across your preferred devices.
