I cannot believe there is not a HD option for PC or PS3. Both platforms support HD (in fact BBC iplayer has been doing this for a long time). Granted it's about bandwidth, and the cost associated, but would help to put NowTV ahead of its rivals!!!
I signed up at the weekend and was very dissapointed to discover that the audio tracks for movies are in stereo. It seems a strange choice to stream HD content with stereo audio when Lovefilm and Netflix offer 5.1 for the majority of titles.
As this request has been open for over a year 5.1 is unlikely to be implemented before my trial expires, but if it was I'd subscribe. As it stands I won't be renewing.
I have recently purchased a You View Box and I was wondering if HD streaming will be coming to this in the near future? I have an Apple TV which shows Netflix movies in HD. The quality of the stream from Now TV compared to Netflix is quite significant.
I think in the future, HD channels would be a good idea. Since Sky already have the rights to them and they exist on Sky TV, I guess this should be pretty do-able.
However...
Obviously some users are going to have capped broadband connections so I think it would be a good idea to allow customers to turn HD channels on or off in their account/box settings. This would allow those of us who can to have HD and allow others who don't have the usage allowance to continue watching SD.
yep i noticed that aswell, also half the movies etc are streamed using pore quality as i've used netflix and had no probs with full hd and no streaming interruptions yet half the movies i did want to watch were not even in sub-standard dvd movie quality it was like some of the dodgy quality on project free tv and it kept on spacking out and stopping yet i have a 20 meg dual band n+ broadband line so its all down to now tv and the poor quality from sky! Also the complete lack of any useful apps available, the app button is a waste of space and so is now tv to be honest seems no youtube or itv player and half the catch up stuff isnt actually on there unlike if you go online via pc and find all of it. just seems that now tv isnt even ready to be released at all as there is too much wrong with the service and not available and £8.99 a month for a load of crap movies if im brutally honest 8 films that i could watch as i havent seen them 4 of those in poor quality and 1 would not work properly yet netflix doesnt have the same problems and thats cheaper! sky and now tv need to go back to the drawing board and make this the right way for people to want it and want to buy it and not return it or just throw it away!
