Sky’s Now TV on-demand service has arrived on LG Smart TVs in its first TV deal exclusive for at least 12 months.
New LG TV buyers will get a three-month credit for Sky Movies on Now TV and three 24-hour passes for Sky Sports.
The Now TV app will be pre-loaded on new LG TVs, and free to download for 2012 models, but existing TV owners won’t get a free credit.

Sky Movies access costs £15/month for a library of on-demand films and access to all 11 Sky Movies live streaming channels. It’s £9.99 for 24 hours of Sky Sports, with all six Sky Sports channels streamed live.
