Is the TV Ethernet connected? 
Do you have boost? 

Have you tired to unplug your TV and router for a few minutes?

Just checked on the Now app on our 2020 LG GX, running over WiFi, and with Boost.

 

The Good Life was showing.

 

It pixelated for a second, but then locked on and was fine, or as fine as an SD 4:3 programme can be.

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.

I tried some other live channels, and most came straight up, but 3 had initial pixelation, even including Sky News.

 

So nothing unique to UK Gold.

 

Have you tried powering down your router, right off at the mains, waiting two minutes, and then powering it up again?

 

Followed by doing the same on your TV?

 

Worth a try to see if that fixes it.

Why would powering down the router make a difference every other channel plays instantly just as netflix/apple/prime do ...my internet speed is a constant 70mbs

Humour us. Sometimes streaming services will start working properly again after a router power down.

 

Something I often do to keep the stream consistent.

What about unplugging the TV?

 

You could try clearing the cache.

Worst case you can set it back to factory settings.
