Here is an Instructable that I have succesfully done many times. But first a couple warning notes you may want to consider before attempting this yourself. First, this can only be done with televisions that have pay per view channels running directly through the tv. In other words no external cable box ( hotel/motel rooms usually implement this). Secondly any damage that you may have on the T.V., remote will most likely be charged to you. Use caution and the right tools, there should be no problems.

I take no responsibility for charges that may incure by accesing these blocked channels. The more that people expose this hack, the sooner it will somehow be blocked by management. Step 1: Things Needed.

I was staying at a cheap hotel in Duluth, MN a couple days ago and noticed there was no cable box. They had pay-per-view options available and I remembered reading about this. I had to run up to the Menards and get a small screw set to undo the remote. I put it on a channel I wanted and started moving the penny on the back of the PCB and after a couple of seconds it worked! I screwed everything back together and enjoyed my movie. The next day as I was checking out of the hotel, they charged me twice for purchasing the same movie. So, I'm guessing it's the same effect as pressing the 'purchase now' button.

At any rate, I talked them down to charging me once, because I only wanted to watch that movie once. It was pretty interesting, but the dialogue wasn't all that great. Something called 'Nailin Paylin' I think.

Update 16/3/17: Sky has begun rolling out an update to all Now TV boxes that. At just £10, is pretty good value for money as is. The idea, of course, is that cash continues to flow in Sky's direction by means of the film, TV and sport subscription packages, but there's nothing to stop you from forking out the hardware fee and using it simply as a window to BBC iPlayer, and other free services.

Understandably, the selection of channels is limited -- Sky would prefer you use the box for its paid content -- but with only a few minutes of tinkering, you can easily turn your Now TV into a robust network media player capable of pulling video and audio from your personal network and several internet sources. You see, Sky's hardware is basically a re-branded with a heavily curated app store, but as long as you have the correct file, you can push apps to a Now TV box that otherwise shouldn't be there. Being able to run software like Plex immediately makes the cheap set-top box an even more compelling proposition, and better yet, side-loading apps couldn't be much easier. Assuming you're all set up, logged in and faced with the Now TV channel screen, the first step is basically like entering a. Instasize Download Apk. With the remote, punch in: Home, Home, Home, Up, Up, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right You should be sent to a 'Developer settings' page (shown below) with a prominent IP address centre stage, and the option to 'Enable installer.'

Jot down the digits, follow the prompts to accept the T&Cs, and your Now TV box will reboot and look completely unchanged. (Note that our screenshot shows 'Disable installer,' as we'd already performed the step by this point.) Now, head to your PC, load up a browser window (we've heard Internet Explorer doesn't work, for some reason), and plug the Now TV box's IP into the address bar -- so, for us, it was This will take you to the rather bland 'Development Application Installer' page. From there, you choose the app file (we'll come to those shortly), hit install, and within a few seconds it'll launch on the Now TV box and will be found in your channel list thereafter, just like any other app. Unfortunately, while the actual installation process is a cinch, finding app files isn't so easy. Sure, the Roku channel store is full of apps capable of running on Now TV boxes, but it's up to the developers to package up the app for side-loading, and you won't find the likes of Netflix and Amazon doing that. Furthermore, you likely won't care for most of the apps that do actually have neat.zip files for you to install, but that doesn't really matter. After all, you can only have one side-loaded channel running on your Now TV box at any one time, and you're going to want to fill that slot with a media manager like.
