Also £9.99/mth for no-contract Sky Movies (the broadcast channels & on-demand), which is a better deal than subscribing via satellite.

Why am I paying for Sky TV when I can get what I want via my Apple TV and Now TV ( i hide the app ages ago so never thought about it)

The downsides:
- fewer channels in the Entertainment pack than you'd get with Sky-proper.
- no Sky+ / catch-up (just what's in the Box Sets selection for the NowTV channels).
- Sky Sports is hella expensive.
- 720p max to AppleTV (which is better than they give some other boxes...)

So there are tradeoffs for the low(er) prices...
 
£6.99 for entertainment and then an additional £9.99 for movies? Or is £9.99 entertainment and movies. Sorry I'm highjacking this topic

£6.99 Entertainment, £9.99 Movies, £31.99 Sports. All separate (so you can subscribe to Movies on its own if you want, don't have to take Entertainment with it), all no contract. 1-month free trials available for Entertainment & Movies.
 
Thanks for the Now TV help.

Back on topic I've just contracted UK Mail via Twitter with my tracking details - They have no tracking of my consignment.

WHAT THE F&£K....

Got mine - has anyone worked out how to quit an app yet? They still run in the background - not good for switching Netflix regions... :/
 
Got mine delivered today, nice interface, easily usable. Not many apps at the moment! Airplay works really well
 
Are you sure your using the correct tracking number provided by Apple?

Have you called UKMail and asked them?

Dial UK Mail and tell me what happens ( 03451 554455) it is purely an automated system. You can't get to speak to a human no matter how much you try
 
It's like SkyTv but only £6.99 and with Apple TV you can watch live tv and catch up stuff at 720p HD.

If your happy with Sky etc , no point for you , but for me it's perfect as it has all the channels I watch like Discovery Etc

Thanks for this. I'm in the process of moving house and bought the new Apple TV for streaming movies and TV as I will not be getting Sky or Virgin in my new house. This looks like the best way of being able to still watch Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead etc.
 
So glad i chose to pre-order... /s

Dispatched last night. UKmail has no info for my tracking number. Expected delivery 2nd November when i can just walk into an Apple store and pick one up today. Very, very annoying.

Also anyone got any recommendations for a pair of bluetooth headphones that aren't £270? Them Beats are so expensive :(


if you are okay with on ear headphones, check out Jabra Move Wireless. I've been using them for the past couple of weeks and they are awesome headphones for the money!
 
This isn't the first time this has happened. I'm never pre ordering again, rather just go to the store even if that means for iPhone launches getting up at 3am.
 
UKMail just text me to say it'll be delivered Monday. Least I've got some actual clarity on the situation.
