Audio description problems

Hi all, No idea why but I have started to get audio description on Sky channels. Is there anyway to disable it?

Hiya, I have this problem to.

 

I didn't ask for it, wasn't on previous programme, it just appeared. I can't get it off.

 

It is destroying my tv enjoyment, the only time I get to relax after a long day.

 

What has Nowtv messed up now?

That's odd... 

 

What channels are you guys watching. And on what NOW TV playback devices?

the most bizarre thing about this is that NowTV doesn't support audio description normally. It sounds like you audio description track is being streamed rather than normal soundtrack for the channel for some reason. Smiley Surprised

My service is very slow. Don't know if it's coincidence but a small box has appeared on the left hand corner of my screen since the audio problems began

If you're talking about the rectangle on the bottom left-hand side of the screen. That is the sign that sky uses to help it identify that people are accessing their channels legitimately and that they are watching an IP stream. That's rectangle site is also used on sports channels. It's nothing to worry about.

 

I'm not actually getting audio description problems at the moment, not on sky one or sky living I haven't tested the other channels yet. I'm using a NowTV smart box by the way
