Hi @mike43,

 

No problems here... That being said.

 

  • What's the make and model number of your display device?
  • What type of Is your NOW TV box do you have [ie: a NOW TV 'black' box, a NOW TV 'white' box or a NOW TV 'Smart' box]?

 

Cheers

Hi again @mike43,

 

What's the make and model number of your display device (ie: television, projector, monitor)?

Is your NOW TV 'black' box directly connected to your display device or is it connected via another device, such as a surround-sound amplifier?

 

 

Cheers

Does your Bush DLED32265 'smart' television offer you the ability to alter the picture settings and modes for each individual HDMI input?

Out of interest @mike43... Which 'Picture Mode' setting are you using, ie: Cinema, Game, Sports, Dynamic or Natural?

 

Have you played around with these?

When it comes to your TV's picture modes, I recommend you select either 'Cinema' or 'Natural'. Do not select the 'Dynamic' mode!

 

If you haven't done-so already, try disabling your TV's post-processing features such as: Dynamic Contrast and Eco mode...
