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

Kyrgios and Dimitrov are geniuses. They are managing to make the tennis ball stop in mid air for a few seconds every few minutes in their match on the Sky Action channel this evening. Oh silly me it's nothing to do with them it's good old stutter vision courtesy of NOW TV.

It's a (not so) snew "feature" of most of the Sky Sports channels - "Stuttervision"!

 

It's not you, it's them.

 

Been going on for months now. Not your broadband at fault. It's something wrong at their end.

Mine seems to be the football channel. Not seen any Spanish games without it freezing or with poor picture quality. Frustrating

Main event seems unaffected, but the individual sports channels ARE affected by this
