-
Camilla Morgan (@camillamorgan) reported@NOWTV I joined the non-flexible membership in error and tried to cancel it immediately. I sent an email to your customer service but have not heard back.
-
Debra (@d_ebr_) reported@NOW @NOWTV have you ever thought about fixing the buffering problem that your streaming service clearly has for live sports? People pay so at least figure out how to give us a service that doesn't jump every other minute 😤
-
Jacqueline 🏴 (@mrsjaclong) reportedIs there an issue with @EE television and @NOW my premium channels are down and I can't get into the app? #EE #nowtv
-
Joe (@JoeyL14) reportedYou can thank me for this. My VPN allowance expired at half time and every other one I've tried won't work with the NowTV app. So, once again, **** you @SkySports. I literally pay you (far too much) and you still block me from watching. Definitely cancelling in the new year.
-
Kefiloe (@Kefiloeeeee) reported@altivedort The problem is that you think your yilser groups represent 100% of the audience. Those yilser episodes were they barely showed aybuke scored a rating of 3. If she was so hated, nowtv would have long fired her cause they are team #yilser too. They should try it, I wish they would

Lewis (@LewisStruthers1) reportedSo it seems the UFC moved from Discovery+ to HBO Max in the UK. I saw that NowTV just got HBO Max so I went there - no UFC. Went online - no HBO Max in the UK via web browser. Had to download an HBO Max app, sign in with my D+ details and then watch via TNT. What the actual ****
-
aka James Bond (@FeelitWorking) reported@stevencamlou @juneslater17 Agreed, use youtube, freeview, freely, nowTV, etc. Sounds like they need a reality check and debt counselling. No shame in getting help to maximise what you can have for the least money.
-
Steph Darby (@stephcrockford) reported@NOWTV I pay for the Sky Sports subscription and the quality of the streams I get lately is awful. My speed is 500mbps so it's not that... Can anyone assist? I'm not able to watch most channels.
-
Faulty | Sim Racing (@FaultyCerebro) reportedI caved and got the Sports package on NowTV. I cannot be arsed with the stream issues I had last year 🥲
-
Charlie| welcome to Derry spoilers (@vxgxlante_) reported@dcttirs I watched live at 2am last week but can’t tonight coz I have work tomorrow but I’m gonna watch as soon as I’m awake coz it goes onto NowTv a few hours after it airs the first time 😭

Will (@willyt027) reported@stikler4141 @lola987123 @FilmUpdates Nowtv is perfectly fine. Should’ve seen it a few years ago it used to be unusable
-
Kyle Waldron (@KyleWaldron98) reported@XboxSupport Nowtv not working either .champions league is on
-
Andrew Westgarth (@apwestgarth) reportedReally not impressed with the poor quality of @skytv stream when watching @SkySportsPL constant buffering and lag every time i’m watching the match, and I have the top broadband package. NowTV was far more stable and reliable!
-
Matt (@airbusnerd) reportedShocking service @NOWTV Constant technical issues with the Newcastle vs. leeds game. Not good enough
-
Steven Briggs 🦉 (@Briggsy1867) reported@kburton95 @skytv No issue watching via NowTV at all, weird that it effected a certain viewing platform despite it all being Sky.
-
Jacqueline 🏴 (@mrsjaclong) reportedIs there an issue with @EE television and @NOW my premium channels are down and I can't get into the app? #EE #nowtv
-
Mark Winter (@MarkWinter02) reported@RawnsleyAn86745 @rebzeleanor @SkySports I'm close to agreeing with you. If you removed the word tin pot, I definitely would. No team or match has the automatic right to be on telly. Womens football deserves coverage and the men's match was very prominent on nowtv Both were on telly. No issue really.
-
Tony (@TonyB_1997) reported@SilverAscend @LeoKearse If BBC iPlayer and NOWTV can figure out you are on a VPN then I’m fairly sure it’s possible for the ISPs to block access to the VPN servers completely, regardless of protocol. Sure, it’s whack-a-mole, but they don’t need it to be perfect to be effective.
-
Neil Hewitt (@neilhewitt) reportedI have used many streaming services, and I think in terms of quality, NowTV is among the worst. You pay extra for UHD and better audio, and frequently don’t get it even on current content. I watched one episode recently where the audio was screwed up.

John Morris (@johnmbrampton) reported@NOWTV Is it possible to speak to a human at NOW TV? You online help does not help me? #poorcustomercare

-
Aye Æsir (@TheRobRipley) reportedGetting a month of @NOWTV and it doesnt even go on VIDAA smart tvs or even work on my ps5 because of "compatability issues" so I can only get use it on my phone? Yeah, that's a month I'm getting ONLY what is this nonsense?
-
Richard Farquhar (@RCFarquhar) reportedDoes anyone watch @racingtv via the App on a smart TV? If so, does it work ok? Thinking about switching to NowTV on which RTV is not currently available

Matt Juler (@MattJuler) reportedFor all those having Sky issues, NowTV is working fine, so maybe give Sky Go a go. #NCFC

xoIHITxo (@thisisonyoux) reported@NOWTV no update on the audio description issue you are having on multiple programmes? It's an expensive subscription and havnt been able to watch anything for 3 days
