Noticed exactly the same thing with our one. Assume it's an update that's slowing it down. Couldn't find out how to check when the update was released, only when it was last checked.
We've had a Now box for a couple of years and it's been a paragon of reliability and responsiveness and we often fall back to it for iPlayer when iPlayer is playing up on the Sony TV. However in the last month or so the now box has got very unresponsive (e.g. 5s between pressing pause and pause happening) and a bit crashy (the actual Now box locking up then rebooting).
Has anyone else been having problems? I wonder if they've released an update that's a bit shonky.

Mine is mostly fine but mid film will make an occasional scratchy/glitchy sound through the TV speakers.
