Hello, I have been following nowtv.com now for years. Great service. Great on-screen-design.
But when when we be able to watch e.g. the Discovery live stream in HD? Or Nickelodeon? Or Paramount? To offer SD streams nowdays is "stone age".
Also on-demand movies should be 1080p quality in 2019.
When will be finally see quality improvements?

720p in 2020 is pathetic.
Netflix and Amazon have had 4k for years..!
Plus streaming is so much quicker than NowTV..

Couldn't agree more, the interfaces of Netflix and Amazon are far faster and smoother than Now TV.
In terms of picture, even though 1080p is finally an option with Now TV, sometimes I still feel its not as sharp compared to Amazon 1080p.
Thankfully Netflix allows us customers to take out 4K plans, with 4 streams at once. And Amazon, well don't know if there are any 4K content via Prime, but you are certainly allowed to purchase 4K content.
Literally now a handful of shows I rely on Now TV for, but even the majority of them are massively delayed for being aired compared to the US.

agreed
I got the 7 day free offer to watch "the trip to Greece"
Shocked at how poor the image quality is
Cancelled sub!
It's also pretty 2000s to expect people to download an app onto your desktop.. but I guess that's to stop people pirating..

That article is dated back to May.
Like almost everyone on this forum we await an official update from Sky/Now TV for 1080p. Although considering the download function was almost randomly added one day and on the same day news was sent out. So I wouldn't be surprised if they launched it and then on the same day made an announcement.
Either way, the trials still on going. No date for completion after emailing them. Still additional improvements to the app come with each build. More to follow considering the wish-list I sent them!

Indeed you are correct that I am part of the trials, but I am using a Now TV stick for the purpose. Normally my main source for Now TV is the app on my Samsung 55" 4K TV, but doing the trial I am really focused on picture and sound, which is pleasing me so far. If they can get my suggestions on as part of the next build then we could be in for a better experience.
Sorry to say that I don't own an Apple TV, so I am unable to comment on that side of the trials.

Just to make you aware, @gavs82008 is unable to answer your questions as being part of any trial means taking a vow of secrecy, namely an NDA. Although you don't physically SIGN one it is part of the T&Cs upon being accepted onto a trial. Breaking it can lead to expulsion from any trials you may be involved in.
