I have had my now tv box for just over a week and try as I might I have not yet successfully watched anything in full.
When I select a film or programme the four coloured balls swirl around, the programme begins and then the balls swirl ( blue, pink, yellow and green) and this continues every 60 seconds or so.
My internet provider has reset my router, which is working fine with other appliances. I have checked the settings, I am correctly connected. In system update it shows an update took place on at 7.01pm just now when I selected system restart. I am now trying to watch Game of Thrones and it has buffered with the coloured balls 2 or 3 times in the last 5 minutes. Please help.

As I said I know there is no problem with iternet speed or wi-fi

@Anonymous User Maybe it is due to this ongoing issue.

Happens when watching on the nowtv (black) box, no other activity on any other devices.
Has all the characteristic of a problem at your end with insufficient server capacity.

Like @BicBasher suggested, is it practicaly possible in your home environment to run an Ethernet cable between your Router and NowTV black box ?
All the NowTV devices in my house are wired over Ethernet and i watch a lot of NowTV live & on demand content including GOT and never have encountered any buffering or breakdown of picture quality.

Hi @Anonymous User
It could also be due to any traffic management policies that your ISP has in place.
Who is your ISP and what type of package do you have with them ?
Thanks

Virgin media and internet speed and wireless is as I said before very good.
The problem is the now tv (black box) which does not handle wireless at all well.
When the buffering happens a computer connected by wireless (in the same location) running now tv in internet explore does not have the problem.
It is not easy to run and ethernet cable to the box (and really this should not be necessary as I have good wirless coverage and speed to other devices in the same location)

Hi - i cant see what that ongoing issue is because the link takes me to a restricted page.
Is that issue still an issue or is there a known fix?
Thanks!
