Sky Now box any good ?

[Vogon]

I was thinking of getting one to watch the non BBC F1 races and Game Of Thrones on Catch up soon after it starts.

As I understand so far, I can pay for a one off day or week sports package, but for entertainment, its a fixed period rolling billing correct ?

How easy is it to unsubscribe from the entertainment pass ? (premium phone number or ?)

Any catches to be aware of ?

I understand that sports is only SD ?

What is the quality like, and would anyone who has one recommend it ?

I just noticed I can get the app on the XB1, so no need to buy a box even
I presume sports isn't 720p whatever you watch it on ?

As I don't like my XB having payment details, can you buy passes that use codes like Gold/MS points ?

Resurrecting the thread in case anyone else has similar questions.
I bought a box bundle with 6 months entertainment pass.
I can say not impressed with the box, no 5G wireless, and doesn't like channel above 10 on wireless once updated.
PQ not that good, buffering even on my very fast broadband is too common, it hogs a load of bandwith too.
But ... the purchase was worth it for the saving on 6 months entertainment pass alone, so I watch it through my XBone now and PQ is better and so far no buffering
