6/7 is just marginally acceptable, casting adds extra demands, and with weak WiFi, you have the perfect storm here.

 

One or more of the devices here may help with the weak WiFi.

 

If casting still buffers after that, see if you can use a direct device so you don’t have to cast, e.g. a NowTV Stick on your TV instead of casting the NowTV app from a phone or tablet.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it. Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now. That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

NowTV is great when it works, as it usually does for me.

 

But I could wish they were more responsive when things go wrong for people.

Hi rob, thanks, some suggested unsychronizing 2.4 and 5 rename each one by adding 2.4 etc at end of original name so you know which channel your on, did this and there is an improvement.

I am channel 7 at the moment and will be trying the others.

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

This Community, largely replied on by volunteers, customers like yourself, can answer all sorts of questions without keeping you on a chat line for ages.

 

But we can’t handle billing and account queries, for which you have no alternative but to use Live Chat.

 

You have said above that getting in touch with Live Chat is unsatisfactory (as we know it can be), but you still haven’t said why you are trying.

 

If you want to carry on ranting, be my guest, if it makes you feel better. But I shan’t reply again.

 

However, if you want want some help, and you have a query that is not to do with billing or your account (and even some that are), then please calm down and state it here, and we can see where to go from there.

I need an engeneer please! I need you to contact openreach and get one  of the man down to me, to extend the phone-broadband line to  my upper flat.  I am not getting a signal with  BT extender on the upper level of flat! I work from home and I am not able to  work.. SO imagine the frustration ... Anyway...  sorry to be pain and angry... but this is going on since I actually started with now tv and that's a month now... I really need a good strong wifi internet and I am paying super speed the most expensive one.. plus line rental plus this and that., entertainment package and  nothing works for 60 pounds a month, Do you think I would be happy on the chat. And sorry again 🙂
