One thing you won't get on box is Netflix - for obvious reasons. Also it can't get ITV Player.
Back in June/July a lot of people here did buy £9.99 box - it's actually good value as includes hdmi cable.

@Nadger
I am not to bothered about netflix and the like, as I don't get that much time to sit and watch films, therefore would be a waste of money tbh.
I am more interested in the catch up TV side, would I need a subscription to watch them on the aforementioned box.
I see that https://shop.nowtv.com/?DCMP=KNC-Brand- mentions
However they are not clear what channel(s) can still be viewed
Quote Do I need a subscription to keep my NOW TV box?
You must already have or be able to create a NOW TV account to setup your NOW TV Box.
You can still keep your NOW TV Box and use any other app that you've downloaded if you've cancelled your NOW TV subscription or stopped buying Sky Sports Day Passes.
I know that I need an internet connection as it is not capable of running from the roof top aerial.
What apps can anyone recommend from their list http://images.now.nowtv.com/Web/BSKYBMovies/%7B180d0310-6205-4f3f-976e-22197dceff7b%7D_nowtv_box_app... that are free

4OD seems fairly comprehensive but there are commercials albeit reduced in length.
No ITV Payer and can't see that appearing for quite a while.
BBC iPlayer is obviously comprehensive.

That sound like the deal clincher to me (you should work for them ;D)
When you say Demand5 seems to be a cut down version, do you mean the programs and films etc are not full length ?? (hence having to record the Mentalist etc)
Its a pity that ITV Player does not stretch themselves on as many devices as is possible, as its only a matter of allowing the code / app hopefully (it wont take to long (wont be holding my breath though))
I am ok with reduced length commercials, as they pay for the channels
BBC iPlayer set the example for the iPlayers (in respect of availability through more devices) and they all should be available (although we don't make the rules)
Thank you to all that has helped and a Merry christmas to you all

Available programmes are full length - some just aren't there albeit it says they are when watching CH5.
eg Castle and Under the Dome were available but not Mentalist or POI.
I always said I'd never give Sky a penny but NOWTV doesn't tie me to a contract.

That was quick for Royal Mail aka (Snail Mail)
Hi Nadger
That liveable I suppose, however it can be disappointing when they don't put all the programs/ films that we would like on the app
I have said the same bout Sky and the like(s) however, Subscription free is really crying out (buy me, buy me now)
You have all helped me make my mind up, and I am going to purchase 1 in the new year
