Is the Black Box Faster than the Old White Box?

I have a white Now TV box which does everything I want, but can be slow when using the iPlayer app.

It's not very responsive with iPlayer anymore (but navigating the Now TV app is still quick).

Is the new V2 black box faster?

Thanks!

Michael

Hi and welcome to the forum @Anonymous User,

 

In short... Yes (and the 'smart' box is even faster) Smiley Happy

Welcome to the forum.

 

Yes, in practice it's quite a bit more responsive than the white box, and also has an Ethernet port, and supports 1080p output so you should notice quite a difference over your current box. All current apps work smoothly on it.

Thanks for the helpful answers.  Since the box is only £15 I think it will definately be worth upgrading.

Just for completeness... I did get the new black box and it is much much better than the old white one.  For example IPlayer used to be very jerky navigating the options, pausing & restarting video, etc.  Now it is much faster and generally more responsive.  Definately worth doing (especially as it effectively costs next to nothing when you take the voucher into account).
