    @Ozvaldinho @KingRockerFilm @NOWTV Thanks for the help! Especially as king rocker didn’t reply. Yes I’ve tracked it down now, via the app and then adding it to my tv, cos I didn’t even know there was a sky arts section on now tv! Cheers.

  • anngripper Ann Gripper (@anngripper) reported

    @virginmedia There is one thing... the picture quality on Sky Sports, which we've just added to our bundle, is terrible. Worse than NowTV we were using before. A new box is being sent out anyway (ours is 3 years old) - is that likely to improve things?

  • BJord24 BUBBA JORD24 (@BJord24) reported

    It seems my @NOWTV stick dont conect with my @VodafoneUK wifi so where is the problem i mean my @PlayStation 4 consoles dont have a strong conection vodafone says the internet is fine so it must be both my ps4s and my now tv stick what do i do

  • kt_a7x kt 🕸 🦥 (@kt_a7x) reported

    Incredibly first world problem of me but nowtv not auto playing the next episode is very annoying.

  • adam_avery Adam Avery (@adam_avery) reported from Norwich, England

    @charlottelmoore @NOWTV It’s one of the worst interfaces on Apple TV. On my LG APP it’s great, the Apple TV APP, doesn’t even remind me what episode I was on! Just needed to vent

  • cof56506198 cof (@cof56506198) reported

    @NOWTV I have the entertainment package, and I access it via the playstation app. It is the same for all content, varies in severity from day to day, yesterday was particularly bad, some days its more sporadic, but its been a problem for a very long time.

  • Jack_20_20 Jack (@Jack_20_20) reported

    Latest version of @NOWTV (14.0.0) doesn’t resolve the issue @nowtvhelp

  • The_Enzo Enzo the rabbit (@The_Enzo) reported

    @BattDavey @NOWTV Let's hope it doesn't go back to normal. Working 9-5 in awful open plan offices pretending you like the people you happen to sit next to? Hour long commutes, traffic and overpriced overcrowded public transport? Nah I'm happy working from my living room 🎉

  • Ellieflower12 Mrs Brown (@Ellieflower12) reported

    @NOWTV are there streaming issues in London at the moment? I can't watch on TV or phone. Although it loads on phone. TV is connected to Internet. 🤔

  • Straying14 Stray (@Straying14) reported

    @NOWTV are you serious. You’re having technical problems. They then somehow fix themselves. I sign into my account pay for sky day pass and get all the way to viewing in the app on the laptop and you say no VPN. I live in Indonesia and have all accounts in UK. What ********!

  • cof56506198 cof (@cof56506198) reported

    @NOWTV Have you tried developing a quality product thats actually worth the extortionate price you charge?

  • aku_akshay Akshay Gupta (@aku_akshay) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Hi Frazer, can you please check when can the issue be resolved, my post code is N19 5BE, service provider is NowTv. Please help arrange the visit of a engineer at the earliest.

  • IAmStillAndrew Andrew Jolly (@IAmStillAndrew) reported

    @DJReece82 @NOWTV Yes I think that its a @Channel4 problem, I was watching direct from their website and it stopped.

  • Tim48397873 Tim (@Tim48397873) reported

    @NOWTV Any idea why my internet frequently disconnects and becomes unreliable around 2 in the morning? Not an issue normally but now I’m in the dog house due to it happening during the Super Bowl.

  • Manning1985 MD (@Manning1985) reported

    @NOWTV Same problem after resetting it unfortunately, works fine for all other things such as netflix and iplayer etc, just that issue with the sports through it

  • eveningmspeters nick's secret account (@eveningmspeters) reported

    @NOWTV hi, it was already selected as Automatic but i selected it again. the issue remains.

  • John26263989 John (@John26263989) reported

    @Hydor18 @NOWTV I sort legal help regarding them.

  • benrouse80 Ben Rouse (@benrouse80) reported

    @NOWTV It is only an issue with NowTV. BTSport displays full screen.

  • alannaclark10 iamsugarfairy (@alannaclark10) reported

  • mig144 Michelle Woolley (@mig144) reported

    @NOWTV @richteamc I have this problem too. Can’t sign in. Can’t find the solution on the NowTV website. Have reset the WiFi and the box. Infuriating

  • bamzz96 Bam (@bamzz96) reported

    @NOWTV how do I get a refund for my now TV pass that I cancelled but still got charged for? And how do I make a complaint about your terrible cancellation web page? Deliberately misleading in order to keep business

  • lesleysmith520 Lesley Smith (@lesleysmith520) reported

    @NOWTV Bloody awful. The original was brilliant, if the film industry can't make original films stop making them. Any one not seen the original it's on youtube

  • DJReece82 David Reece (@DJReece82) reported

    @NOWTV Yeah, as I suspected. The reset didn't help. Thanks for getting in touch about this anyway

  • Maaamalade Tri to be Happy 😃🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️😃 (@Maaamalade) reported

    @NOWTV any help with your sign in error? Been trying all day and can't sign in after changing internet router.

  • Fornowago Mando (@Fornowago) reported

    @NOWTV Awful, watch the 1945 version. Far better.

  • Ross_Gibson Ross Gibson (@Ross_Gibson) reported

    @NOWTV Is there a problem just now? My Roku asking me to sign in but when you try itsays there is an error. Same on PC Browser "Unable to connect to sign in, please try again later"

  • DJReece82 David Reece (@DJReece82) reported

    @NOWTV Will try that now, although I see that people have been having issues with Channel 4's online coverage elsewhere

  • richteamc TipJar (@richteamc) reported

    @NOWTV Yeah done that. Think the box may be on the blink? All my other registered devices work just fine.

  • StevenTWilton Steven Wilton (@StevenTWilton) reported

    @roachsoap72 @NOWTV Can't you do it via the app. I have cancelled on numerous occasions without issue.

  • ninnin71 catherine addison (@ninnin71) reported

    @NOWTV @richteamc I've got this problem too. Says it's connected then drops out immediately.
