Perhaps I'm expecting too much from a bargain-basement service, but since I've had my NowTV box (the one with the Ethernet port) I've had a number of odd glitches. I'm trying to work-out if it's the NowTV service/app, the box or something else. It's fair to say that I've also had the odd glitch on my FTV box in the past, so nothing is perfect. I'm just trying to work-out if it's hardware, because if it is, I'll get JL to swap it under guarantee.
I get the odd audio drop-out, but that's in the source material as it's repeatable, but I've had a couple of odd issues. The first was that the box reckoned that the NowTV service was unavailable, but that sorted itself almost immediately when I re-tried. The one that caught me out last night is the weird one. About half way through watching episode six of series seven of Chicago Fire, the audio was replaced by very loud white noise, but picture was OK. I stopped playback, re-wound about a minute or so to where I knew that things were OK, and re-started viewing. All AOK, so not source material. Playback for the rest of the evening was then fine on everything else that we watched.
I'm happy to chalk these type of funnies up to 'just one of those things', but was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything similar, or any other glitches.
Cheers, Clem
