Nowtv please fix sped up audio of HBO shows

[Anonymous User]

Having spent a lot of time in USA and watching HBO, I find several HBO shows running on NowTv are so sped up, I have trouble watching them with the actors sounding so unnatural.

Converting  USA NTSC to UK PAL can cause some some video to run 4-5% faster which results in the audio being sped up too, BUT audio pitch shifting equipment has been around for decades!

NowTV could easily afford to buy a box that will shift the audio back down so the actors sound like themselves again.

So please do so!

Having dipped my toes into the US streaming services thanks to a US PayPal and Amazon account, along with a VPN, I have been able to subscribe to services such as CBS All Access and Hulu using Amazon Fire Sticks.

Most shows are considerably better on these services than Now TV.

Not sure what it is with Now TV, even with the Boost it just doesn't match up to the streamers in the States. 

As a suggestion I would head onto Live chat to voice your concern about the audio.

Last night I watched The Undoing on NowTV and it was not sped up so they
CAN fix this if they choose to. Perhaps it was because Brits would notice
if Hugh Grant had a higher voice

On a related note, someone is adding at least two black screens with the
show logo in it per episode of HBO shows. These are NOT there in the
originals shown on HBO.
I suspect they are placeholders to insert ads later but NOWTV does not run
ads in shows so why are they there?
