I struggle with a download speed of only 1.2. Would this be sufficient to run NOW TV?
Hi Tim,
Thanks for reaching out to Finder.
An internet speed of 1.2Mbps will not be enough and may cause buffering when you watch video streams with NOW TV.
To avoid slow loading and buffering issues, you should have an internet speed of at least 2.5Mbps if you are using wi-fi or broadband. For 3G or 4G devices, the minimum speed needed is 450Kbps.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Charisse
I have an LG smart TV, do I need a TV box?
Hello Pauline,
Thank you for your comment.
There’s no need to purchase a NowTV box if you have an LG Smart TV. You can directly access NowTV services in the LG Smart TV by connecting it to the internet and accessing your NowTV account.
