Discovery streaming just fine here. Playback gets a bit choppy at times but no buffering.

Can you check the amount of traffic going through your router when streaming NowTV. Mine averaging about 70KB/s currently. Earlier I got average 170KB/s, but it was short lived.

I use Networx on my PC and after much fiddling I got it to monitor my router using SNMP, but it was a battle to get it working. Not to worry.

Ag, I don't think we are going to win with NowTV. I just tried Overplay DNS and it makes no difference. At least it rules out UnoTelly being a culprit.

The only solution I have now is the good old YouTube pause for a few minutes trick. So I start a program, press pause and go wander around the house for 5 - 10 minutes. It seems to buffer enough so that I can watch the program without constant buffering.

OK - I'm watching on a Roku so I wouldn't know where to start! :)
 
You can use your smartphone to monitor traffic. Just log into your wifi modem from your phone. Depends on the modem though. You can also use an app. I use ddwrt on my iPhone.
 
Hardly any streaming issues this weekend.

I didn't watch much myself this weekend, but NowTV did seem a little better to me during last week, especially the live tv. But I have yet to experience anything close to HD quality on NowTV though.

I've been reading that ITV encore is launching this week on Sky - http://www.itv.com/encore

I wonder how long until it's added to nowtv?

I also read about this a couple months ago. But it seemed like it was exclusive to Sky subscribers. I hope they make it available to NowTV subscribers as well. Actually, ITV must just release there own channel for NowTV boxes and Roku boxes.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Unless they mean it will be a channel on NowTV service, which means it will be for NowTV boxes and Roku :D

I got an email from NowTV:

Remember the NOW TV Box you got? Yes, it’s already full to the seams with awesome. But there’s still space for more – and the ITV Player app is arriving on it soon along with BBC Sport.

It means you’ll never miss an ITV show again. Catch Coronation Street, Midsomer Murders, ITV's new show TV OD and…all 34 of ITV’s World Cup matches in Brazil, and highlights too.

That’s all alongside all the other terrestrial TV catch up apps already on your box – BBC iPlayer, 4oD and Demand 5.

So what’s the hold up? Set up your box today with your NOW TV account and then you can watch NOW TV on your TV, as well as the best of catch up TV.

I keep getting "somethings gone wrong" after selecting a program and watching the adverts in the beginning.
 
My NowTV box finally got the update - menu now looks very similar to my Roku.
