Gold Won't stream properly

This has been happening on and off for a few weeks now. I looked on twitter and other people are having the problem. I saw a reply from the NowTV account that there is no problem and a "reset" will solve it. I don't know what they mean by a "reset", but i have tried unplugging it, using the system restore/reset/whatever its called in the settings. Doesn't matter what i do, the problem keeps occurring. Sometimes it streams for hours without a problem, other times its juddering and making a horrific loud buzz/beep noise. I don't really use any of the other entertainment channels, but i switched channels during the problem and it seemed to be ok. Switching back to Gold, the same problem. I never used to have this problem, and nothing in my set up has changed. Same tv, same leads, same box, same everything. Only recently it's going crazy. The juddering picture wouldnt be so bad, but the noise it makes is horrific. Can't keep listening to that. Does anybody else have this problem? Any solutions? My guess is it must be a problem at Sky's end, but they can't be bothered to acknowledge there is a problem as it's not their channel. Just to add, i've never had this problem on the Sports channels or anything else. It doesn't happen on Gold demand either, i've only noticed the problem on the live Gold channel. As i type, it just did it again. It's close to hopeless.

It's been really bad again today. Had to turn Gold off as unwatchable. Could someone from Nowtv please provide an update on this issue?

I have exactly the same problem. It's been like this for months. I've been trying to find the right words to use in a Google search but could never find anything relating to it until now. I thought it was bad copies of Only Fools and Horses that GOLD had bought but it happens during their ad breaks as well. It happens when I use my NowTV box and when I stream on my PC.

Getting angry now, this has been going on for months. Sky are a F****** waste of space. Money grabbing little s****.

Gold has not screened properly since Christmas 2017. It judderes, screeches and lines jump across the screen. For £7.99 a month its just not good enough and the fact Nowtv have not offered any tangible advice us also appalling.

Still not been sorted and getting worse. Now tv are not giving any updates or even acknowledging that the problem is not being sorted. All the technical issue stuff that has been said that is causing the problem is obviously rubbish made up by now tv cos they don't care about anything but the money. It's ridiculous that a service that we are all paying for each month is not up the task. Cant see us all getting refunded for the problems.
