How does WOW TV work?
Once you’ve started your WOW streaming subscription you can download the WOW app on your TV, Console or mobile device of choice and start streaming immediately. The content you can streamdepends on which subscription you’ve chosen. For now, we only offer the WOW Series subscriptions, not the Films or Sports package.
On how many devices can I stream WOW TV?
You can stream instantly on 2 devices at the same time. There’s also a download function for all mobile devices, if you want to watch your favorite programs on the go, without an internet connection.
How long is my WOW code valid for?
When you’ve redeemed your WOW code, you can use WOW TV for as long as your subscription lasts.
We offer 3 and 6 month subscriptions for WOW. When you’re streaming with a WOW code from Startselect, the subscription will end automatically when the time of the sub has passed. No cancellation required as there will be no auto-renewal.
What if I already have a WOW subscription?
You’ll need to cancel (or pause) your current subscription first. If you’re not sure how far into your subscription you are, you can always check under My Subscriptions in the WOW app.
If you already have an active WOW subscription, you can use the “Cancel WOW” button to deactivate it, otherwise the regular WOW subscription will be extended indefinitely.
Once your current WOW subscription is inactive, you can start over with your WOW code. This subscription will automatically stop when the subscription duration has passed.
How much does WOW TV cost?
You’re probably wondering how much WOW costs per month. Well, it depends on which WOW subscription you choose. WOW offers three different kinds of subscriptions:
- WOW Series from 7.99 € p/m
- WOW Live-Sport from 24.99 € p/m
- WOW Films & Series from 9 p/m
We offer WOW Series subscriptions for 3 months (30€) or 6 months (48€) only.
What is the difference between Sky GO or WOW?
WOW and Sky Go are both ways to stream the Sky programs online, but these services are very different from each other: while WOW offers a separate service for streaming the Sky collection of series, movies and sports, Sky Go is merely an extension of the regular Sky Q programming.
What WOW TV offers:
WOW is a separate service for streaming what Sky has to offer, both on mobile devices with the app and in your browser, or on your TV with the help of the WOW TV Stick. All you need is an internet connection and you can start watching!
What Sky GO offers:
Sky GO on the other hand, comes with every Sky Q subscription. Since the Sky Q receiver is only compatible with your TV, you can use Sky GO to watch all Sky programs on your mobile devices. You can do this via the Sky GO app and log in with your Sky Q account to start watching right away!
So you see, Sky GO and WOW TV are two completely different subscriptions. Sky GO is an extension of your Sky Q subscription and WOW TV is a streaming service subscription for series, films or sports.
What are the advantages of WOW TV?
Alongside the various options in WOW TV-streaming subscriptions, here’s a few pro’s to consider when choosing our WOW TV codes:
- Flexible Streaming-subs for a wide audience
- Short-term subscriptions available (no year-long commitment)
- Quick and easy to order and activate, no cancellation needed afterwards
- High-quality Sky content on demand or via live stream
- Easily accessible via the Wow app
Is WOW the same as Sky Ticket?
WOW is the successor of Sky Ticket. WOW’s new streaming service not only has a new name, but it comes with some new functionalities as well. While the basics are similar, WOW offers different streaming packages: Series, Films or Live Sports. The content of WOW however, is the same as Sky Ticket’s used to be.
Is WOW a part of Sky Q?
No, only the classic subscriptions for reception via satellite, cable or IPTV fall under the Sky Q brand. The mobile app-service Sky Go is connected to this service. WOW TV is independent from the Sky Q brand and aimed towards a different audience.
Can I watch WOW TV as a Sky Q customer?
No. As a customer of Sky Q you only get the content that your Sky Q package offers. If you have a regular Sky subscription with a Sky-Q receiver, you can use the Sky Go app for streaming. WOW TV is completely separate and therefore needs a separate subscription, which you can purchase with one of our WOW codes!
