NOW TV Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Swinffo Swinffo (@Swinffo) reported

    @virginmedia All Broadband is down in my area, which is acknowledged on your website with an estimated fix time of 2pm tomorrow. Being that I have paid for NowTV to watch the football and cannot because of your service failing, what compensation can you offer me?

  • MathewMbournat Wrotham birder (@MathewMbournat) reported

    @NOWTV I DM’d a few days ago. Do you not work Fridays?

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @NOWTV Yes, I have seen the email. It's really, really amateur of whoever is responsible for such a large error. It's very embarrassing for Now TV/Sky to have made such an error and I would hope the person responsible has been taken off further duties relating to sending emails out!

  • LisaAWilliamsx Lisa A Williams (@LisaAWilliamsx) reported

    @NOWTV I’ve been trying to sign up to a new account for days! I keep getting an error message keeps saying ‘unable to load sign in’ and won’t allow me to sign up? Please advise! #NowTV

  • GeorgiPacetti Georgi Pacetti (@GeorgiPacetti) reported

    @NOWTV @Darren_Bowen I am having the same issues and I can’t even get through to someone on live chat due to a connection issue. @NOWTV

  • mum2tyler09 Emma O’sullivan (@mum2tyler09) reported from Islington, England

    @NurseEmilyE @NOWTV It’s the worst possible time for it to go down when we’ve got live lessons tomorrow

  • ScottCK66 ScottCK66 (@ScottCK66) reported

    @Ofcom Its not the phone company, Its @NOWTV The quality of the picture on their sky sports this last week has been terrible. Watching readingVafcb on Friday and the picture was fine at the ads, when the programme came on it was a good picture, then when they kicked off it blurred again

  • the_garden_city Stuart - Lockdown Again! (@the_garden_city) reported

    @NOWTV I purchased a new subscription yesterday but as usual its buffering and frame freezing. To contact you by phone (your bots don't work either) it costs £6 plus my providers fee. All I am asking for is you to provide the service I paid £9.99 for!

  • Poptimism POPPY (@Poptimism) reported

    @NOWTV hi please help. ‘Unable to sign in’ error message on my firestick? Tried so much. Gonna have to cancel my subscription because it doesn’t work 🥺

  • SteveRowley Steve Rowley (@SteveRowley) reported

    @virginmedia My #Broadband speed is just 8.2mbps and has been for weeks! The main problem is that when that get's through the front door I'm not left with much to share with my wife and our three kids. God help us if the dogs ever ask for an iPad! @UswitchUK @NOWTV

  • Laurahulson Laura Hulson (@Laurahulson) reported

    @KatWilliams123 @NOWTV @disneyplus That's weird, we haven't had any problems with the app on our TV.

  • Poptimism POPPY (@Poptimism) reported

    @ohfeebeelay @NOWTV How did you fix this?

  • christinaann_x Christina Ann (@christinaann_x) reported

    @nowtv ive been issued a refund fro yourselves but your saying the last four digit of my payment card doesn't match and I've just checked & my payments card hasn't changed!? Help!

  • DenniseMitchel2 Dennise Mitchell (@DenniseMitchel2) reported

    @NOWTV We've been calling them nearly every day - they keep saying they have no information on what's wrong or how long it will take to fix. They simply pass the buck & blame Openreach. It's ridiculous, I've got 3 kids who are missing out on vital education !

  • KonArmyTweets KonArmy (@KonArmyTweets) reported

    @nowtvhelp @michelleruane @NOWTV Hi I am also having problems this morning. Worked fine all last night and can not log into any of my devices. It says login details not recognised. Tried resetting my password but the link wouldn't work. Uninstalled and reinstalled all apps but no joy.

  • djm_eightyone ✌🏻️ (@djm_eightyone) reported

    @NOWTV By all means! What can you do about the remotes? I put fresh batteries in, they last a couple of days, then stop working. I have tried several brands of batteries and it’s on two different remotes. They are obviously sub-standard. Can you issue replacements?

  • ramneet_x ramneet🌹✨ (@ramneet_x) reported

    Is anyone else’s nowtv not working ???

  • FirefoxLord Lord_FireFox (@FirefoxLord) reported

    @nowtvhelp Must just be my expectations. Wait actually it can’t be.... because Netflix, PrimeVideo, Disney+ and funny enough Apple TV+ apps all work really well. Must be NOWTV as always trailing behind.... (Another free trail Shipper in Home Bargins) 🙄

  • christinaann_x Christina Ann (@christinaann_x) reported

    @NOWTV Live chat doesn't come up with what I need to talk about. Help please

  • lvirgogo lee virgo (@lvirgogo) reported

    @NOWTV Decent script would help , tried so hard to be like a guy Richie film but failed

  • gilbertadam Gilly (@gilbertadam) reported

    @NOWTV hello, trying to watch sky sports but getting a "sorry there was an error in the player" message, all other channels working fine? Pass is all up to date payment wise

  • Ben_Whitley_ Ben Whitley (@Ben_Whitley_) reported

    @NOWTV Seriously, why is Michael Caine still 'acting'? Don't get me wrong, I love his work and he is in my top 2 favourite films ever (Zulu and The Italian Job), but why not just retire and let someone else earn some coin...?

  • reeksie Enrica Wong (@reeksie) reported

    @nowtvhelp There is but there is no power point near that socket so it’s not possible to connect to the router. I have nowtv for almost 4 years now and had internet this morning so I find it strange that this is now a problem.

  • LisaAWilliamsx Lisa A Williams (@LisaAWilliamsx) reported

    @NOWTV Can someone sort this out please? There is absolutely 0 help online or via phone! #NowTV

  • NurseEmilyE Emily Eason (@NurseEmilyE) reported

    @NOWTV @mum2tyler09 I’m having the same problems, I can’t connect to anyone on chat and I can’t find a number to call anywhere

  • batheaston Debbie Wylde (@batheaston) reported

    @NOWTV Samsung but we want a refund not a credit. I’ve now been charged a further £3 on top of )11.99 and I cannot afford this as not working

  • wamfan2kuk kinky_gentleman (@wamfan2kuk) reported

    @DeathIsHerLatex I gave up on nowtv movies as nothing is new. Amazon, we have been watching american gods which has pulled us in. But yeah love a serial killer doc. We’re aiming to watch bridgerton as heard good things. But now back at work during the week so less fun to be had
