Hi.
Over the last week, I've been experiencing the same ongoing issue when using the Sky Sports channels, which continually buffer during live broadcasts, which is usually every five minutes.
I pay a monthly pass, but I think the level of service is really poor, given that there is no level of communication from Now TV with its customers, outside of people contacting them individually.
I've missed a lot of the football this week due to this technical issue and have decided to cancel my Now TV subscription.
Every other app works through both Virgin Broadband and my Playstation 4, so I know that this is solely an issue with Now TV.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Same issue with it constantly frezing whilst watching it on my Ps4. Ive deleted the App and re downloaded it and still having the same issue. Has anyone resolved their simialr issue?

I don't particularly want to pay any more money just to get the service I should already be getting.

My sports channels are always poor quality picture when I first turn it on it's perfect for about 20 s I have tried so many times to fix this problem with all the suggestions that nowtv send me and nothing fixes this and all other channels work fine. Oh I am using there app

I pay for the boost package and I’m still losing reception and getting errors. So that doesn’t help resolve the issues. Now tv just can’t cope with the streaming.

What device are you using to watch NOW with?

Ignore me I hadn’t read your posts up thread!
Have you tried to unplug your router?
Unplug your TV for a few minutes also helps sometimes.
Is your TV connected via Wi-fi or Ethernet cable?

This is more than likely a server issue. Either over capacity or a fault at a local data centre.
Whilst I appreciate it's no help, I'm in London and had no problems watching any live sports channels.

No problem my end watching the West Ham v Chelsea match based in South Wales.
If your Router or playback device can accommodate it, i would try using the Google Public DNS servers to see if that makes any difference when streaming NOW sports.

I’ve had Now for years and had more buffering issues this week than the entire time previous. It’s not my broadband connection, it’s not my internal network or equipment, I work in IT so know what to look for, it’s most likely the source.
