In the past few days we have been watching the last Perry Mason and during the program, for a split second, the screen went blue, the sound continued and then the program carried on. This has also occurred during the second episode of the Prodical Son, not the first.
Any idea's out there?

Hi there, I am also getting the intermittent blue screen which started after the software update. It is happening on all episodes of the following programmes that I am currently watching: Lovecraft Country, the DNA of Murder and Prodigal Son, but is not happening on Carnivale, which is a much older programme. It happens exactly once every minute and also I get a blue screen when I pause, instead of the normal frozen action.
I have an original Now TV black box, serial number 3266AK189030.
If this can't be fixed then those of us experiencing this problem should be sent new boxes for free.
Thank you.

I doubt a new replacement NowTV device would currently fix it where there is something wrong with the recent Firmware rollout.
I am not getting the intermittent blue screen but other issues which i have reported to NowTV since the New look home screen page software update.
Just wondering what make TV's forum members are using with the blue screen issue, where it might be a HDMI handshake drop out with the NowTV devices where there is a compatibility issue with certain branded televisions since the NowTV software rollout.

I have the exact same issue with my Black Box. The screen goes blue (audio continues) meaning I can't watch the stuff I am paying for.
There is clearly a bug in the latest firmware update. Does anyone know if NowTV are even aware of the issue yet?

My TV is a Panasonic. However if the issue is connected with the brand of TV then I wonder why the intermittent blue screen only shows on some programmes and not others.

Hello Izzie
We have been experiencing this issue since the update too. It happens approximately every minute and is very annoying. Sound isn't affected, just the picture.
We have a black box connected to the Tv via HDMI lead.
It is connected to our HDMI 3 channel on our Panasonic Viera TV.
It does stop for a while if you unplug the unit, wait 30 seconds, then plug back in, but it soon starts again.
It happens a lot with Sky Witness channel and Sky one.
I have recorder a video but don't know how to upload it, sorry.

Simon - I will give the information you're asking for separately but please note the following:
- All users experiencing this problem seem to have the original black box.
- It doesn't matter what time of day it is, the intermittent blue screen always happens whenever you watch the affected programmes, and all episodes of them.
- The blue screen appears exactly once each minute.
-This only started happening to all of us after the latest update when the home screen changed.
