    @NOWTV I am fully aware of that. The programme was recorded in 4:3 but looks square (really thick side bars). 16:9 TV adverts have black bars when they should be in full screen. No problems until yesterday.

    Latest version of @NOWTV (14.0.0) doesn’t resolve the issue @nowtvhelp

  • IAmStillAndrew Andrew Jolly (@IAmStillAndrew) reported

    @DJReece82 @NOWTV Yes I think that its a @Channel4 problem, I was watching direct from their website and it stopped.

  • Fornowago Mando (@Fornowago) reported

    @NOWTV Awful, watch the 1945 version. Far better.

    @Ozvaldinho @KingRockerFilm @NOWTV Thanks for the help! Especially as king rocker didn’t reply. Yes I’ve tracked it down now, via the app and then adding it to my tv, cos I didn’t even know there was a sky arts section on now tv! Cheers.

    @NOWTV Is there a problem just now? My Roku asking me to sign in but when you try itsays there is an error. Same on PC Browser "Unable to connect to sign in, please try again later"

    @NOWTV Any idea why my internet frequently disconnects and becomes unreliable around 2 in the morning? Not an issue normally but now I’m in the dog house due to it happening during the Super Bowl.

    @NOWTV It is only an issue with NowTV. BTSport displays full screen.

    @virginmedia There is one thing... the picture quality on Sky Sports, which we've just added to our bundle, is terrible. Worse than NowTV we were using before. A new box is being sent out anyway (ours is 3 years old) - is that likely to improve things?

  • Manning1985 MD (@Manning1985) reported

    @NOWTV Same problem after resetting it unfortunately, works fine for all other things such as netflix and iplayer etc, just that issue with the sports through it

    @NOWTV Bloody awful. The original was brilliant, if the film industry can't make original films stop making them. Any one not seen the original it's on youtube
