I am planning to buy the box and have some friends over to watch the fight with food and drink, and would hate for it to be a let down with a stream thats poor quality or constantly buffering. Thanks.
As with any streamed content @Anonymous User it depends on your broadband connection and the company that's providing the streamed content, which in this case is a company called Neulion (not NOW TV).
If you're intending to buy a NOW TV box, it will have to be 'activated' first. Which means you will need to create a NOW TV account and submit your credit/debit card details. You will then need to download and install the dedicated Sky Sports Box Office 'app'.
For more information, please refer to my previous posts within this topic...
Why is the booking so last minute? I don't get the marketing theory behind that? Surely the earlier you make it available the less load on booking servers and the more potential buyers.
I brought a Now TV box but have no Sky Box Office app? Only the Sky Store?

You'll have to ask the service provider, Neulion about such matters @Anonymous User

The Sky Sports Box Office app can be found by accessing: 'Home' -> 'App Store' -> 'News, Weather, Sport' and navigating to the 'Sky Sports Box Office' tile. Click on the tile and select: 'Add app'.

I hope it works this time. For the bellew fight it was unwatchable (lip sync, every 20 seconds i would would have have to close and restart app on my laptop). I got refund, but was very annoyed since looking forward to the fight.
Im not sure if this time i should find a bar showing it or take risk and order it again. There must of had major server load issues, i just hope this time they have bough servers that can handle the load.
I've got the now tv box, but it was only slightly better through that than laptop. We watch sky boxing reguarly in 2 rooms (laptop / playstation / now tv box) with no problems usually (maybe the odd little freeze now and then). Problems only happen when its via this neulion service. Had issue's with all all my past box office boxing events, but the bellew was absoultely terrible.
I've got fibre optic, pretty quick (37.55 Mbps at the moment). one if the reasons i upgraded to fibre optic from standard was because of this issue. turns out it was not the speed of my internet, it was their poor service (neulion). Lots of complaints on Twitter on the night of bellew fight. i've sens another tweet to see if they've upgraded.
also neulion support have not tweeted since 2016, hardly fills me with confidence.Why don't now tv / sky just stream it from their own servers in uk.
