I find the easiest way is an HDMI cable from pc to telly.
Chrome cast is also a possibility.

I'm useless with tech. How do you actually watch this on a relatively new Samsung telly? Check your app function / store on your TV - it may be in there, if so add it and follow instructions (I think it was enter your NT password, or maybe enter a code it gives you on the tv screen into your computer to link the accounts). I've also got the budget Amazon firestick plugged in to one of the tv posts and that has more apps. Sorry, I can't remember which way round I did it. |

Thanks everyone. I couldn't find NT at Home in the app store on the tv (will have another look) but I have it set up now via the HDMI from the laptop.

For anyone who has a Times subscription/Times+ membership, there’s currently an offer (only available for a few more days) of a month’s free access to NT at Home. I have an NT at Home account but not an active sub so when I redeemed the Times offer, i chose the “Already have an account?” option and signed in with my original details However, this was unsuccessful several times and even though I got a dialogue box saying “We’ve sent a confirmation email to xxxxx” nothing arrived in my inbox or spam folders. All very frustrating.
I tried again today creating a new account with my secondary email address and that worked fine - I got the confirmation straightaway and then about half an hour later the “you can start watching” email. So it might be better to go down the new account route if you want to take advantage of the offer.
By my reckoning there’s about 50 new additions since I last had a sub, so that should keep me busy for the next month!

Hex and little big things really stand out like a sore thumb amongst the other tittles.

Going to try this out for a year and see what I think. I've seen a few NT Live in the cinema (Seagull W Emilia Clark; Prima Facie W Jodie Comer) so would like the chance to see more shows from the comfort of my own home. Is it worth it? Also, any recent new shows added.

Also, any recent new shows added. I'm going to sign up for a year - I meant to before, mainly to stop spending so much on theatre, but then I got a glut of things I wanted to see live. My test was counting up how many things are on the platform that I really want to see - either again, or regret missing live. I've just done another count and I can find 50 things I really want to see! (and plenty of others I'd watch) That's got to be good value. I can recommend (and I'll watch again) 'Angels In America' parts 1 & 2. 'A View From The Bridge' - Ivo Van Hove production 'Kin' by Gecko I saw live and is an excellent piece of physical theatre led storytelling. I missed 'People, Places and Things' - found it too pricey and saw it was being filmed... Same goes with the musical 'The Little Big Things'. Ditto 'Uncle Vanya' - nearly went to see it in the cinema, but why pay £20 when you can see it at home as part of the package? 'Constellations' in all of its cast versions is there - interesting to see how/if the play changes with age, same sex, heritage, etc. (4 versions) 'Henry V' with Kit Harrington was another where I missed live and cinema showing. Heard terrible things about the musical 'Hex' - so, interested to get my own eyes on it risk free moneywise. |

Wish they’d add The Motive and The Cue already. I have a line of local friends waiting who sadly missed it on stage. I don’t mind rewatching it myself, such a gem!

Signed up - thanks for saving me £20 on the yearly subscription! Offers ends today. I did consider whether I could just do 'monthly' for a shorter time - but there are too many things I want to see, and new things get added quite often. But shorter sign-up and having a real blow-out is another way go. |

Does anyone know how the subscription works? Can I watch as many as I want - or limited to one or two a month?
I am the type to watch three a week then nothing for a month or so (erratic work life)
Thanks

Also bought it just there for discount. Thanks so much for that. Looking forward to watching some quality theatre for the next 12 months.
