  • LondonBlue_2 LB✌🏽 (@LondonBlue_2) reported

    @btsport commentary is something else. Literally groaning when a Chelsea attack breaks down. This is embarrassingly biased 🙄

  • josb52 Jo (@josb52) reported

    (@btsport) can't that motor mouth man city supporter Darren Fletcher give it a rest, the worst BIASED commentator or TV

  • JTyrrell_ Joe Tyrrell (@JTyrrell_) reported from Lambeth, England

    @bt_uk please fix your PS5 app! Doesn’t let me watch live sport with constant buffering or crashing. Works fine on other devices, just not PS5.

  • aemachin Ashley (@aemachin) reported

    Any hint @btsport ? When you’ll be fixing this… what I can do to fix this? I’ve tried everything I can think of.

  • Alessaaandro99 Alessandro 🦁👑 (@Alessaaandro99) reported

    @LombardiaMax @btsport Nope stupid broadcasting laws on Saturdays 🤕🙃

  • L1nko64 Sean (@L1nko64) reported

    @btsport your stupid website logged me out then locked me out for 20 mins. Why the hell are we paying for a service that barely works man?

  • MylesMcGarvey Myles 🍁☘️ (@MylesMcGarvey) reported

    Even though Ireland is separate from Britain and the UK TV football blackout has nothing to do with Ireland. @btsport are choosing not to make #SpeziaMilan available to Irish customers. #SerieA

  • ValeryCollins ExperiencedTraveller (@ValeryCollins) reported

    @bt_uk No internet connection and mobile data not working so spending a fortune on coffee at local cafe just to do my job. I am not going to waste precious time DMing someone who is not prepared to help. Have made numberous calls to BT - waste of time. Not known when mast will be fixed.

  • CharlieFitzh Charlie Fitzherbert ⭐⭐ 🇬🇧 (@CharlieFitzh) reported

    0-0 HT. Idiot @btsport commentator [Fletcher]: "The two Managers now have 15 mins to work things out." 🙄

  • Mr_Casanowak Dan Nowak (@Mr_Casanowak) reported

    @btsport are you having issues with Chelsea v city on bt ultimate on Samsung TVs again? No option to select ultimate on the app

  • LindaPatti Linda Pattinson (@LindaPatti) reported

    @bt_uk Switching off the Smart Set up has not resolved the issue. I’ve had to reset the SkyQ network again several times this week. It’s getting beyond a joke now. I really wonder why I’m paying what I am for wireless connection

  • Chris69284851 Chris (@Chris69284851) reported

    @btsport Why does you web site never work????

  • BarneyHandel Barney Handel (@BarneyHandel) reported

    @bt_uk @ewan_m23 I have exactly the same problem as Ewan described with a Samsung tv. Works for a few seconds after reloading then goes out of sync again. All other apps on the tv work

  • CharlieFitzh Charlie Fitzherbert ⭐⭐ 🇬🇧 (@CharlieFitzh) reported

    15 mins gone and it's as if Glen Hoddle on @btsport has never seen how Chelsea set up and play under Thomas Tuchel. 🙄

  • BriggySmalls Jon Brigden (@BriggySmalls) reported

    @Mr_Casanowak @btsport I’m having the same problem. Sort it out BT!

  • markhan41924967 oconnor mark (@markhan41924967) reported

    I'm an idiot. when @gabrieljesus9 shot over. @DFletcherSport said he hasn't scored against @ChelseaFC in 11 matches. why didn't i do him to score. in play betting 🙈 #CHEMCI #btsport

  • TheArtOfWar6 ᴛʜᴇᴀʀᴛᴏꜰᴡᴀʀ🗿🏝 (@TheArtOfWar6) reported

    @btsport console app is awful by the way

  • ewan_m23 Ewan (@ewan_m23) reported

    @bt_uk it is a samsung tv, and loads of people with samsung tv’s are having the same problem this probably means it is nothing to do with the connection

  • ChasSutcliffe Charlie Sutcliffe (@ChasSutcliffe) reported from Tetford, England

    @bt_uk Have already made online complaint to you and had text reply from 'Paul' on 22nd Sept saying he will shortly be calling from a 0800 number but since then nothing, which is no surprise I'm afraid as anything to do with BT Broadband is dreadful.

  • philystine stephen (@philystine) reported

    why is @btsport so ****? continuously jumps back 30 secs and out of sync with picture. utter crap

  • aprincesmimada_ ThePrettyGemini (@aprincesmimada_) reported

    @bt_uk Is BT down or something? I’ve been trying to make a BT ID as well as call to report a failure, but the queue to get assistance is long and it won’t let me make an ID because of some failure in the system.

  • andylatts Andy David Latter (@andylatts) reported

    Joe Cole is awful #btsport

  • Helga68 Helen Blake (@Helga68) reported

    @bt_uk is there an ongoing issue with Internet at the moment? Working from home and having to use a mobile hot-spot to connect as no Internet on my WiFi #keyworker #notwhatipayfor #ivetriedturningitoffandonagain

  • Crezza37 Crezza * (@Crezza37) reported

    @bt_uk @ewan_m23 All other apps work fine. Just have a search and you will see how many other people have issues trying to use the app on the TV. Have you tested the app on your TV?

  • machinestead Tony (@machinestead) reported

    @Gareth_Can_Draw @bt_uk I’m getting the same, and there are no search results for vc576 on the help website 🙃

  • fraserh21 Fras3rh⚽️ (@fraserh21) reported

    @btsport VC019 error on my ps5 I can see from your forums and Twitter this has been an issue for some time are you planning on fixing it or just not bothering? So frustrating. What is the point of paying for bt sport when it doesn't even work.

  • DickTweetsOnly Rich (@DickTweetsOnly) reported

    Hang on, what the jaysis did Joe Cole just say about Jack Grealish being driven???? #BTSport

  • terryfreedman ICT & Computing in Education (@terryfreedman) reported

    @bt_uk I've been trying to access online settings on behalf of a very vulnerable 95 year-old. Do you know when the tech problems at your end will be sorted? This is quite urgent

  • Gareth_Can_Draw Gareth Williams (@Gareth_Can_Draw) reported

    @btsport the app on my ps5 won't let me watch live sport. Please fix this issue asap. I pay subscription and I expect it to work on all platforms 😠

  • ewan_m23 Ewan (@ewan_m23) reported

    @bt_uk once again can you please fix your terrible sport app
