I am still perplexed as to why when I watch live football on Now TV ( box or new app) I keep seeing ghost ball images when the ball is in the air and distance shots of players running down the pitch are very juddery. Close up pictures and slow motion are excellent quality. I do not get any problems when watching live football on ITV or BBC via freeview.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes... Disable (switch off) your TV's post-processing features (if they are enabled), such as: Auto Motion Plus, Dynamic Contrast, Black Tone, Digital Clean View, MPEG Noise Filter, Sharpness, etc...
EDIT: What is the exact model number of your Samsung 'smart' TV?

ollowing your suggestion I watched the Brighton vs Newcastle match last night with ' AutoMotion Plus' disabled. This improved the picture significantly. No 'ghost' ball effects were observed and fast action pictures were more normal like seen via Freeview.
Thank you for this suggestion.

This is the issue I was having a few years ago with a roku box through Samsung 2010 model (which had known issues then).
Now I'm wondering if this bug has been fixed or if it can be negated by using now tv on youview box on the same television?
I tried all the above solutions and still had the issue

I guess that depends of what type of image processing features are enabled and/or disabled 😉

I bought nowtv as a one-off for watching skysports football yesterdday. Is it correct that it is just standard sky, and not Sky HD? For £6 for one day I was expecting HD. Using a Samsung KS9000 and the app via wifi.
Picture quality was at times appalling: freezing, ghosting, blurry, and not what I expected at all.

Last time I used the Sports ticket, I watched F1 from Monaco.
It was very obviously half the standard frame rate (25p instead of the over the air age old 50Hz standard).
I doubt NowTV has fixed this. I'd use the TVs local frame rate doubler for sports (I didn't have it back then), or you'll get an headache.
NowTV thinks a tenner or so for a day is too cheap for sports, so can't allow the quality to compete with their overpriced Sky offerings.
