Worth mentioning that this is the updated Now TV box. Great deal if you can find it.
Amazingly I managed to get 1 from my Greenock store

These 2nd gen boxes are ok but you can't adjust the refresh rate from 60Hz to 50Hz which causes panning stutter on some programs. RarFlix also suffers with this issue on some material however a modern smart TV can often compensate to some degree. Chromecast had the same issue leaving it stuck on US 60Hz format but this was later fixed due to people complaining. Now TV don't seem interested in addressing the 50Hz UK format for some reason.

Does iPlayer and the like actually support 50hz though, or are the streams sent from the servers at 60hz? If you watch the bbc news ticker on iPlayer on PS3 (which from memory I think shows up as 50hz), the news ticker still has microstutter.
I spent years battling refresh rates with Windows 7MC back in the day, and with a lot of US TV show rips being 60hz.
Mainly used 7MC as a sky replacement for recording/live TV, so I just leaned to live with watching 60hz content at 50hz.

Check for passes before you leave store. We got 1 and both passes were missing, exchanged it to find the passes were missing too. Maybe local to my Argos. Now TV helpline sorted it out.

What are the capability of these boxes? What happens when the passes run out and you don't want to buy new passed? Can the boxes still be used? Can they be linked and controlled by your phone or tablet?
