Buffering a lot recently

Hi
Recently I have been having problems with now tv. I have had two nights where programmes keep buffering. I can't watch a whole show without it buffering at some stage. I am using a Chromecast casting from an iPhone 6S. My internet speed is fine, I have no buffering issues with Netflix, iPlayer or Amazon Video. I tried to watch Twin Peaks last night but couldn't as it was buffering so much and tonight I managed almost a full episode of The West Wing before it started buffering near the end and made it unwatchable. This has both happened between 9.30 - 10pm
Thanks

@Anonymous User whilst your internet speed can be fine, WiFi channels can get clogged. Check with your internet provider how to check yours and change it if a lot of neighbours are using the same channel.

Possible but I have no problems with Netflix or BBC iPlayer on the same device at about the same time and it'll be using the same channel?

I've been having the same problem for the past week or so , picture will get pixelated and unwatchable every 15 or so minutes. Netflix and BBC iPlayer have no problems casting just NOWTV

Hi @Anonymous User

 

Sorry to hear that your having some trouble there.

 

As has been suggested above by @4268 I would give changing the wireless channel a shot, also do a quick reboot of your router if you haven't done so already.

 

Cheers

Andy
