Was trying to watch 911 lone star and prodigal son on now tv last night and the buffering was shocking on the t2110 and kept getting a no internet message when my internet was fine on all other device was fine.
Anybody else having issues

    I encountered exactly the same problems deedee36 on my T2100, I posted about it in another thread.

    They say they’ve fixed all of these issues on the Live TV side of Now TV but sadly that isn’t my experience, not at all. They are yet to come up with a fix for the similar problems with the On Demand side of Now TV.

    I’ve instead been using my old Now TV Smart Box which was OK but today I bought a new Roku Express from Argos for £18 and Now TV works a treat.

    I’ve now removed my Youview Box from my list of Now TV devices as it’s hopeless 😀

    I been getting the same at times while trying to watch Chicago Fire. Was really bad a few nights ago and last night only had the occasional buffing.
    I replied about this on another thread on here a few nights ago.
    Hope this will be fixed soon. As its now only so many week till the Christmas season when we will be watching the likes of Now TV a little more.
    Live TV seems to have been fix with me on my T 2100 box but still at times get buffing when watching on demand via the now TV app.
    Still waiting for my T2110 in bedroom to update to the new software o fix some of the bugs with Now TV.

    Buffing has been a little bad again the night while watching demand(Sky Box Sets). 
    Seems to have got a little worse on my T2100 ever since the box got the update that fixed the live channels issue.

    Hi Sarah is there an ETA on when Now TV or yourselves can sort the issue regarding 50fps. Now TV have reduced it via the app on Youview only too 25fps and it's so hard to watch especially when used too 50fps. When I questioned now TV about this they said the issue was with Youview and their devices rather than themselves. Just hope it can get resolved asap as it's been ongoing for about 2-3 months now.

    That's the issue in case you're wondering. Like I say Now TV claimed its a Youview issue and their devices causing the issue

    That link still dont explain the buffing issue of late with the Sky Box Sets/on demand content via Now TV app on the Youview box. As in the passed week its been even worse then normal.

    Hi @JAK92
    It was restored to 50fps this afternoon so I hope this improves things for you :)

    It's not just affecting 4k boxes. It's affecting most other Youview boxes as well.
    @Ken Hill1 hopefully it will be fixed soon but for now your ongoing posting about the problems and when will it be fixed will not get the problems fixed many quicker.
    I too like others would like to see the problem fixed soon.
