If your daughter is streaming on her Xbox it could also be that there is not enough bandwidth for you to to watch properly on the NOW TV box at the same time, causing the degradation in picture quality. Try rebooting your broadband router to see if it's a wifi channel issue first, and if that doesn't help either check on the router what your download stream rate is, or if you're not sure how to do that try doing a speed test on a laptop/tablet/phone in the same room as your NOW TV box while your daughter is using the Xbox to give a rough idea what bandwidth is spare.

@Anonymous User Welcome to the Forum 🙂
Can you tell us if this is happening on the NOWTV app when trying to watch it on Xbox?

Can you try following these steps:
Check for updates
On the NOW TV remote:
This needs to be done even if the version numbers are the same to make sure the software's updated and any faults in the current software are repaired.
These instructions can also be found on the NOW TV ROI Help Centre.
If this doesn't work, try unplugging the NOW TV box and wireless router for a few minutes the plug them back in starting with the wireless router. You'll need to set your NOW TV box back up and once you've done this, go back to the NOW TV app and try playing out again.
Manually set the bit rate
On your NOW TV remote:
You could also try moving your NOW TV box closer to your wireless router to see if the poor playout is being caused by something in your house blocking the wireless signal to your box.
Reset the box
Hard reset
On the back of the NOW TV box, press the Reset button for at least 30 seconds (the screen may go blank before the time's up but it's important to continue to hold in the button for the full 30 seconds).
Factory reset
Using your NOW TV remote:
Once the reset's complete, you'll need to set your NOW TV box back up.
If this hasn't worked, try connecting it to the router via an Ethernet cable to see if this resolves the issue.
