@SeeMoreDigital just a pity at the moment i cant notice the difference when watching sky sports channels because of the continuos poor picture quality on these channels,so why are people over various platforms still having issues,are they still working behind the scenes to fix it,still no service update status

Was hoping it would be fixed by now as its been like it is all week and was looking forward to watching my home team play rugby league tonight but the picture quality is still dreadful at 2.4mbps. When the tv camera is at its usuall postition you can not make out there shirt numbers again and no chance with there faces. I'm sure the advertisers on the boards won't be happy either cos there boards are fuzzy and no chance seeing what it says unless they do a close up from pitch. Been on live chat several times this week and all they say is it will be fixed at the earliest. I only baught my sky sports month pass on Sunday and feel cheated and let down by poor streaming quality and customer service staff who don't keep there customers informed. Certainly won't be buying another sports pass and tonight's game is switched off again.

No... NOW TV have been making tweaks to their streaming service. Some of them are 'on-going'...

@lockmatt a lot of people are having problems on multiple devices at the moment. It has nothing to do with your now TV box.


I do not work for Now . I am simply a Now customer trying to help I am a Community Contributor This means that I know a lot about the service. But just like you I am still a customer. This means I cannot help you with issues that would involve looking into your account directly. A member of the now TV forum team or live chat will need to assist you with these issues.

As I said to you a few days ago, NOW TV are listening. They are making major behind the scenes changes to their streaming service.

 

Admittedly there have been some mistakes (such as the AD situation). And the streaming quality is not quite there yet on all available 'live streamed' channels.

 

It's frustrating for all us subscribers.
