    @MikeFinleyMusic God isn’t he awful. He definitely has “the look” of someone with a dark side. FYI there’s a five parter about the same thing on Sky/NOWTV called Murder at the Cottage - more in depth, but more of him which is not so great

    @DiscoveryUK @discoveryplusUK Hello. What's going on with Discovery channel being pulled from NowTV / BT TV? Also, I'm unable to install your app from the Google Play Store, it's giving me errors and promoting me to report you to Google (I haven't yet).

  • rutty_uk Dave Rutt (@rutty_uk) reported

    The first TV our family had took a few minutes to warm up after turning it on. The modern version of this is waiting for the NowTV box to boot up. So sloooooooow! Also, NowTV has the absolute worst UX TV channel selection system. Awful

    @NOWHelpTeam You’ve literally copied and pasted the same response to each and every tweet anyone has sent you. That’s awful customer services & evidence of how little you care about your customers. Complaint going in & account cancelled. #NowTV is so not worth the money.

    @itvhub Glad I'm not the only one experiencing these problems, well at least the final is on BBC 1. Alternative platform's, I can only think of probably NowTV, Dazn or an Iptv service.
