    Yes, had this update to the player on my Humax 2000T a few weeks ago but noticed just today my Roku streamers have the same UI now so they must be working their way through all the devices.

    Sorry my thread title wasn't clear enough ! - The iplayer display is wrong on the Now box

    Is it fitting the screen ok on the Roku ?

    cos in theory the Now box is just a re-badged Roku ?

    Thanks,

    Here is how it currently appears on the Now box URL="https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=FDBBDD96B8D777A5!58482&authkey=!AICmT-LB13h0-Kw&v=3&ithint=photo%2cjpg"]LINK[/URL

    Don't believe its a setting issues since all other apps fit screen OK + I've not changed any settings !

    Well it fits my screen ok but wow what an awful update, the BBC are surpassing themselves latelely, firstly they discontinue the Iplayer RSS feeds without notice temporarily knocking out open source apps like get_iplayer and XBMC now they foister this on us.
    Has anyone found a way to sop a program once it starts without completely exiting the app?
    I'm not usually slow on the uptake when it comes to these things but I can't find anyway to do anything other than to pause or FF and Rew.

    Might not be any help but this is how it looks on my ROKU1 https://www.flickr.com/photos/96474878@N02/15792358451/

    Its a slight improvement at least I can now rewind and fast forward it seems to be a bit more reliable the last version

    I'd also like to know the answer to this. As soon as I stop playback, the app becomes sluggish (18-20 secs per keypress), and I have to exit out to the NowTV home screen and re-enter the app if I want to watch something else.

    Was OK before this update.

    OK - regarding the iplayer screen not fitting the screen correctly problem I was having

    This has now been traced to a setting in the Now box
    Previously I had been operating it on 16:9 setting without any issue but have now had to switch it to 720p to suit the new iPlayer - other apps/ sky channels still seem ok

    Slightly odd that it was perfectly fine on 16:9 before the iPlayer design change ?
