@NOWTV @nowtvhelp Please can you urgently fix the buffering issues? Not the first time it’s happened - usually during an England game. Not worth the money we’re paying for this.

@jokerdaddy23 if you've not done it already, if you type in NOWTV cinema pass free trial into Google, you can get a 7 day free trial. I'm gonna buy a month pass for £12 anyway hoping it'll help but letting you know there's an option for those who are low on funds etc. #SnyderCut

I’ve never, ever experienced anything like the service I’ve received with @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp - the sheer lack of customer care and the way my issue has been handled has been so shockingly bad I literally fail to believe a word they tell me.

@NOWTV When attempting a “reset” on my NowTV stick, I am getting beyond the internet password only to be told I need to check my hdmi cable connection. There is no problem with that. Solution please?

The @NOWTV app has stopped working on my @LGUK smartTV, getting error PL-0 whenever I try to play content. Any solution other than resetting the TV to factory settings (NOT doing that as I'll lose my other app data)? Tried reinstalling app, no fix.

Subtitles: I have used many online streaming platforms to waste time during lockdown. @BBCiPlayer @NetflixUK @PrimeVideo @disneyplus @ITV and by far the worst most insaccessible and most unhelpful of them all is @NOWTV @nowtvhelp. The subtitles are incomplete, broken, freezing

@NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

@NOWTV Any idea as to why I keep getting a PL-0 error message on my Xbox one S? I’ve removed then re-installed the app, cleared the cache and checked the location and dns status-all good! Can’t watch movies and it seems I’m not the only one??

@NOWHelpTeam I finally got through to your unhelpful team. No reason for cancelling my order, no thought for the problems this causes work etc. back to BT great customer service. whatever you’ve done to my broadband now needs an engineer to visit. Don’t go with #NowTV

I’m not usually this type of person however @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp and @OpenreachHelp screwed me over with my broadband due to an issue with the exchange nearby - but failed to notify me. It’s been almost 3 days since I found out and haven’t had a message from them.

@NOWHelpTeam Not used it today, but was awful during the game last night. Had to reset the TV twice during the first half as the app crashed. Actually missed the first goal. Not the first time it has happened using NowTV for big matches either.

@NOWHelpTeam @danfreemanfan That’s nice I tweeted you twice with an issue that resulted after your latest update and you completely ignored me! We can’t all afford full-fat sky which doesn’t mean that you should ignore your NOWTV customers.

@NOW I was pretty miffed to realise the NOWTV App caps out at a **2002-grade** 720p, unless you're willing to pay £5 extra a month to go to **2005-grade** 1080p. The REAL kicker? This paid, premium app HAS AD BREAKS. Avoid at all costs. Shambolic quality for the money, folks.

@NOWTV I was promised a refund of 6 months membership having battled with your customer service department for almost 2 months. I was told it’s take 3-5 days 8 days ago… still nothing. Reference 11111077. So tired of this awful service.

@NOWHelpTeam Is there any plan to fix the Mac nowTV app so that it stops saying I'm using screen recording software, when I'm not? It's completely unwatchable on my Mac at the moment, and the solution you've implemented is ridiculous!

@mileswoodford Ok Miles, follow the problems watching nowtv option that applied to you then click on the downward pointing arrow that says get in touch. If you're an apple or mac user, please make sure you have downloaded the recent security update also, this may resolve it. -GH

@NOWHelpTeam Yes, the program causing the error is NowTV's player… But in terms of other software, no, I've not found the one that yours is confused about…

The @BLAZETVUK app is hands down, the worst TV app out there, and that include @NOWTV. The wrong shows are linked with the wrong listing, shows cut off half way through, utterly amateurish!!
