On Sports channels picture freezes sound continues

While using a black Now TV box with a wired connection and a 200 Mbit connection I regularly get 2-3 second picture freezes while the sound continues unaffected. While watching football it happens every 10 minutes or so. It's not a huge issue but more irritating and it only occurs while watching sports. Has anyone had a similar problem that was fixed?

Hi all, 

 

Just an update to apologise for the issues you have experienced when trying to watch sport on NOW TV. 

 

Yesterday we pushed out an update that should now have resolved the issue across our Sports Channels. 

 

We continue to monitor these channels, if you still experience this issue please let us know.

 

Thanks, 

Karl

And the rest of us!

 

If there were, this thread wouldn't have had 216 replies (and counting), all complaining about this problem over the past few weeks months.

 

In the meantime, they are (allegedly) "looking into it"...


My experience as per the show whose name should not be mentioned is no amount of moaning or complaining will make any difference wahatsoever.  The transmission won't be improved and you won't get compensation.  As the Admin/Mods say move on...

So, you may recall I had an email a week ago saying my email had been forwarded to their "second line team" who would investigate and get back to me.  Well, here is their response:

 

"Thank you for contacting NOW TV.

I see that you had trouble in accessing the NOW TV Box.

Please get back if you are still having problems in accessing.

I look forward for your reply."

 

I give up.  I'm going to cancel my sub.

Sure.  @NOWTV-Team  @Karl-F   will we get compensated for this issue ?

I have had the same problem on 3 recent attempts and no offer of compensation. During the last 2 Lions games I have got onto the instant chat and tried to resolve issues with agent. This has included hard wiring TV to hub to my 100Mbps connection. Still no luck. Majorly frustrated and no offer of compensation. Can't risk it again for 3rd test. Grrrr

This issue has been going on for months, I appreciate you saying its being looked into but I think you owe your customers a fuller explanation of what's going on.

I would also ask what you are going to do to compensate me for paying £34 for a months access and all bar one event in that month has been spoilt by this issue (as well as many others over the preceeding 3 or 4 months)?

If you do not wish to open a can of worms in a public forum I'm perfectly happy to discuss this further with you via PM or email.
