  • LaverdaJota180 Reeds Wood (@LaverdaJota180) reported

    No phone/broadband connection for 12 days. Fix promised 8 days ago by @NOWTV. No mobile signal in area. Vulnerable person and emergency service worker living here. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. #nowtv #poorservice #sky @SkyUK

  • eviewonder22 Eviewonder22 (@eviewonder22) reported

    @NOWTV still waiting after a month for NOW to do the nice/ethical thing and refund 300 paid in error for an account made either in error when they can see I have an account that I use and pay for every month. Email/chat/Twitter-tried all. Awful customer care.#CostOfLivingCrisis

  • blackborne100 Colin Bingham (@blackborne100) reported

    @karunchandhok @SkySportsF1 It might help if your company, in the guise of NowTV, allowed roaming. As you've failed and don't you've lost my subscription.

  • LateSaid Stuff said late (@LateSaid) reported

    @anon_opin Probably have a point but it's definitely not the worst. Have you tried watching TV through the Nowtv desktop app!? Click play about 2 days before you actually want to watch the show! Also, iPlayer goes up to 11!

  • stuartbrbr Stuart Barber (@stuartbrbr) reported

    Really disappointed with @NOWTV_It after they decided to deduct money from me for a membership I never wanted nor requested. Unfortunately they’re ignoring my requests for a refund, hoping @Ofcom will be able to help. Strongly suggest everyone is careful when using #NOWTV #ofcom

  • richajam James Richardson (@richajam) reported

    @NOWTV I am having trouble logging in. I have tried resetting password, but the reset page doesn't work. I've tried from multiple phones and desktops.

  • ftblthoughts (@ftblthoughts) reported

    @afcpabIo_ @SkyHelpTeam I've got it through nowtv so hopefully it would work through that

  • phillcollins08 TheOriginalPhillCollins (@phillcollins08) reported

    @virginmedia I shouldn't have to move my room around for a different BB provider. Had no connection or drop out issue with nowTV!

  • SwerveZone SwerveZone -_• (@SwerveZone) reported

    @nats4_ I use nowtv to watch f1 and such,can’t really manage to find any motogp streams that’s the worst thing 😭😭

  • MrAlexJP Alex 🇺🇦 (@MrAlexJP) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Help please. My NOWTV Hub Two no longer connects to my Sky Q box. Tried everything I can think of, and have spoken to Sky who can't resolve it

  • CathiHickford Cathi (@CathiHickford) reported

    @MartinSLewis Yes. So much cheaper and you usually get sent deals for money off to come back when you cancel one. Currently have Nowtv cinema at £1 a month then will stop and switch to another. Prime doesn't really work for it though. It's a have it or don't sort of thing it seems.

  • StormingNormal David Nash 🇺🇦 (@StormingNormal) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Thinking about changing broadband provider to Now and getting the NowTv entertainment deal, can’t see if this (Nowtv) will work on my nvidia shield. Will it?

  • hayleycampbell Hayley Campbell (@hayleycampbell) reported

    @danfreemanfan @NOWTV I’ve tried talking about it on national radio and even that doesn’t work.

  • is__raff ~ (@is__raff) reported

    Why the ******* hell is it so complicated to watch nowtv on a laptop!! You have to open a stupid little app that doesn’t work most of the time !!! I am going to SCREAM

  • charls_greenie Charlie (@charls_greenie) reported

    My Nowtv keeps crashing while I’m trying to watch the race, great quality that I paid £11 for

  • eviewonder22 Eviewonder22 (@eviewonder22) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam @NOW done that twice,it comes to nothing. You say you can’t do anything- tell me to use chat, I do, they tell me to email, I do, they don’t reply/ignore/close the case. Now I’m just so angry that I’ll keep posting how awful @NOWTV are until they behave in an ethical way.

  • mgalvin Matt Galvin (@mgalvin) reported

    Quality of @NOWTV stream tonight is abysmal.... Absolutely shocking quality for 2022. Will be looking elsewhere for the next game!

  • rosiebaker Rosie Baker 💙 (@rosiebaker) reported

    @NOWTV I've moved into a new flat, ordered my internet almost a month ago to ensure it was ready the day I move in because I work from home, and now you're telling me my line hasn't been activated and to wait up to 72 hours for an email from another team to tell me why??

  • AndrewHaynes72 Andrew Haynes (@AndrewHaynes72) reported

    @btsport your streaming service is absolutely rubbish, why am I bothering paying for this????? Don't have a problem with NowTV so don't blame my Internet!

  • Tattedlexii Lex☮❥☮☠♚♪ (@Tattedlexii) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam there is no rhobh on the hayu channel. Is this a nowtv issue ?

  • Kurxx_ Kurxx (@Kurxx_) reported

    @NOW_Ireland I have been locked out of my NOWTV account for almost a WEEK! I contact support twice last week, the first said they had to escalate the issue and I would hear back by email. When I contacted support again after 2 days, they said the same. I need this resolved!

  • Gazjknight79 Gaz (@Gazjknight79) reported

    @NOWTV help I went to take up my special offer today for the sports package but it ran out yesterday and I’ve just got back from holiday

  • millschievous Camilla Mills (@millschievous) reported

    @NOWTV you've taken my money but won't let me watch the Chelsea match! You also won't let me pay again! Please help

  • FjordSar FjordSAR CIC (@FjordSar) reported

    @NOWTV_It I strongly advise you not to join NOWTV, there is no service! They are refusing to follow the requested protocol and are cutting my internet connection. I work with emergency assistance from home and this is going to jeopardise everything! #badcustomerservice #broadband

  • AllyPither Alisdair Pither (@AllyPither) reported

    @NOWTV I've received a email for sky sports for £20 a month however the link to subscribe doesn't work

  • jimniod jimniod (@jimniod) reported

    @Wadey1977 @DoubleHelping @MartinSLewis Try to avoid NowTV as much as poss as the streaming quality (video and audio) is appalling for the money.

  • Tycoon282 Dan (@Tycoon282) reported

    @CGtheJediMaster @SkySportsF1 ah, doesn't help on nowtv unfortunately 😬 Streams it is

  • QuintSays Quint Says Things (@QuintSays) reported

    @pikapies NowTV is literally one of if not the worst service I’ve ever used. It’s beyond useless, I watched 2 episodes of Game of Thrones on it a few years back and gave up because it’s so horrifically bad it took about 40 minutes to actually start watching the show. Nightmare fuel

  • DarroOfTomorrow Darren 🖤 (@DarroOfTomorrow) reported

    @pikapies Every streaming service sub should be minimum 1080p nowadays and it is ridiculous charging extra for it nowadays. NowTV's software is god awful.

  • JustThomas404 Just Thomas (@JustThomas404) reported

    NowTV worst streaming service Literally the shittest peice of **** that's ever been shat
