Welcome to the forum. Great to see another sci-fi fan around! NOW TV stream in 720p HD on most devices now, but there's no news on if or when this will be upped to 1080p HD. However streaming on my devices on the big screen, the quality is pretty good.

Side load Aptoide, and install from there maybe.
Wouldn’t work, now tv app won’t work on a device with hdmi output.

Thanks for the update. Looking better for you in the picture stakes. I'd agree with you 'upgrading' to the stick for your main telly. I do believe the better the device (or newer, does that equal better, I suppose it should) the better the results should be when viewing sport. Let us know how it goes for you if/when you purchase a stick
As for 1080p, I'd gladly settle for 720p at 50fps as a compromise.

If I get the Stick with my downstairs Panasonic TV, it will be interesting to compare with my upstairs Samsung TV that already has the Stick attached....... just what influence is the TV make having on my percieved picture quality??
I'm aiming high with 1080 and 50fps, but 720 and 50fps would probably be more than ideal for me as my TVs are not the biggest screens going.

Well, I've bought that new Now TV Stick to go with my main living room based Panasonic TV...... perfect timing as just about everywhere is selling the £19.99 Stick & Pass Packages at £14.99, Argos, Currys, John Lewis, Supermarkets, they are all doing it!!!!!!!
Testing my new Stick / Panasonic TV combo with Sky Sports News channel (will probably get a better test next time I get a proper Sports Pass), fast action does seem better than when I had the old black Now TV box attached....... although it's not quite as sharp as the Stick / Samsung TV combo I have upstairs?? You mentioned in another Post with your Panasonic TV and altering something called IFC... I think I'll investigate further what that is and if altering that on my Panasonic set gives me better results.
Overall, the Sticks are certainly giving me better picture quality for fast sports compared to my old black boxes, but they do still need that final touch of 50fps to be ultimately satisfied with the quality. You've got to think it can't be too much longer until Now TV announce more about these quality improvements they are bringing...... the sooner the better.

Any news when 1080p full hd is coming to now tv smart boxes and black boxes.
03-11-2018 18:13
Any news when now tv pass will upscale to full had 1080p.
03-11-2018 18:14
I was meaning full hd.

I don't think anyone knows. It is really frustrating as I watch now TV and like many others have said that due to the framerate, the football (sole reason for having it) is a pretty horrible experience. It is annoying when compared to BT's offering which is very much better.
Why is this topic marked 'Solved' anyway? The initial question asks when HD will come to Now TV and it is NOT solved as we don't know!

I won't be subscribing again after my football season pass finishes. Now TV in gerneral is a big let down compared to Netflix, BT sports etc.
I am fed up with the sports buffering all the time and getting random blotchy graphics popping up. It's not much better than SD quality. I regret getting a season pass now and very rarely turn it on now.
