Hi @Anonymous User
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum. Like most providers, NOW TV uses adaptive bitrates, this can't be overidden and aims to give you the best quality picture your connection can support. If you're experiencing fluctuations in quality, a wired connection to your box is always preferable to wireless.

I too am suffering with poor/unwatchable picture quality during the Ryder cup. Picture was great tostart then 10 mins after the start on Thursday it deteriorated. It's now a lottery as to whether it's watchable or not. Everything else through the OW box is crystal clear so no wi-fi/Tv issues. Complete waste of money!

Hi @Anonymous User
Thanks for getting in touch!
Your speeds sound more than enough, are you able to try a wired connection via an ethernet cable between the box and the router?
Thanks

This seems to be a common problem with no common solutions. I don't have the facility to connect via a cable so Wifi is my only choice. The frequency of poor quality picture is making us re think having a Now TV account and currently looking at other service providers. So frustrated with the service.

Hi @Anonymous User,
Actually, when you take into account the number of subscribers, this particular issue is not that common an issue!
Sufficed to say, if you're unable to directly connect your NOW TV playback device to your router via wired ethernet, Powerline adaptors work really well. And offer a much more stable and reliable video streaming experience.
Cheers

I'm getting the same problem it only happens when watching movies. Everything else plays perfectly and it doesn't happen on my tablet phone or laptop only on my roku 1 box. I've been using it for two years with no problems and nothing has changed. I also run amazon prime and netflix on my roku with no problems at all

Hi @Anonymous User
Sorry to hear that your experiencing a dip in picture quality.
Just to see if it makes any difference can you perform a power cycle for me please.
So unplug your Roku Box, turn off your router at the mains, power your router back on, once your Internet has come back start your Roku Box back up and then see if that makes any difference to your viewing.
Let us know how you get on.

This past week I've seen numerous entertainment channels pixelated on the ethernet connected Roku 3 to the point that they are not watchable. NowTV's Sky Movies, Netflix and Amazon Prime all fine though. No issues with our fibre connection at the time it happens. I can switch over to Netflix and no picture issue, switch back to Now TV and it's still pixalated so can't be a problem this end. I restarted both the router and Roku any way but no difference.
Any one else experiencing this lately?
