MTV is available on the NowTV Entertainment pass - £7.99/month if you subscribe, although I notice that you can get a 3month pass from Amazon for £14.99.
NowTV boxes are frequently on sale prices and include a pass - Sainsburys had them for £15, but I can't remember how long the Entertainment pass was. £16.89 on Amazon with a 2 month pass.
The box needs to be connected to the internet and a NowTv account set up. Plugs into the TV via HDMI.

Checkout the auction site for deals on the NowTV passes and boxes, and pay the extra for the modern smart box rather than the older ones. A smart box and 3 month entertainment pass are available for under £30, then you just need to keep an eye open for cheap passes.

Yes, and it's rectangular rather than square. As ever, look for the highest feedback score, since some of the lower prices don't look too clever. Something like this might do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOW-TV-F...ss-/322940664258?_trksid=p2349526.m2548.l4275

Sainsburys were doing the smart box for £25, presumably with the 3 month pass, although I can't remember

What deal was you on? I have just gone to Virgin TV as I was on there 200mb BBand and seen to add Mix TV with a V6 TiVo box was only £2 extra per month for 12 months on a 12 month contract so I did that and cancelled Now TV entertainment.

I was on 100 mb BB basic TV and landline £54,i hated having a landline

I normally pay around £7-8 for a 3 month pass off eBay, which works really well. The only time you need to be a bit careful is when Game of Thrones is on, as the price always seems to go up!

Might have been time to negiociate.. 200mb, Mix TV and Landline(which I also hate) £44 pm, 200mb BBand on its own was £42
