NowTV Quality
I'm quite new to NowTV, but I've found that the quality of live TV is quite a bit lower than the boxsets. Is that normal?

I think it's to do with the fact that the channels are 'live streaming' rather than box sets which are downloaded/watched/deleted - my kids are watching kids box sets and they all seem to have HD on them as well

Roku / Now TV box maximum outputs On-Demand at 720p (HD), Sport at 720p (HD) and all other Live TV in standard definition (although from my experience I'd say it was a bit higher than SD). I believe Apple TV outputs everything at 720p but I might be wrong? |

Yes, but it depends on what device you are using and your internet speed, for example:

I've been watching on an LG Smart TV. It goes a bit pixelly when there's fast movement.

Although the live non-sport channels are SD, they're better than many Freeview SD channels which operate on very low resolutions. Full-SD doesn't actually look to bad. http://help.nowtv.com/article/Streaming-Quality |
