Will (@willyt027) reported@stikler4141 @lola987123 @FilmUpdates Nowtv is perfectly fine. Should’ve seen it a few years ago it used to be unusable
-
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.
-
Keith Tsang (@kidtsang) reported@scog27 @NOWTV @SkyFootball I totally get the frustration! It's frustrating when the tech fails during crucial moments. Streaming should be seamless—especially for major matches. Have you noticed if it's a specific time or game when the quality dips?
-
ArtformDesigns (@ArtformTheHeart) reported@bikesontnt Yeah, I would if I could set up the account! Usual sh*t show - BT website still showing Discovery+ instructions and HBOmax website telling you to login to your NOWTV account.
-
Valin Roburi (@tashakawaii) reported@NOWTV Can I get help with a payment issue?
-
The Vanquish (@TheVanquish) reported@NOWTV when are you going to fix your app so that it doesn’t crash after every commercial break & randomly crash during a game 🤔💩
-
Andy (@Biohazd5) reported@NOWTV why is the f1 testing coverage pausing every few seconds. Fix your broadcast !!!
-
Bee (@babybear_b) reported@NOWTV it has been weeks now and the subtitles for The Pitt are still out of sync @HBOMax_UK can you help? I’m on episode 3 of series 1 and have had to stop because of this. It shouldn’t be this hard to provide access to all watchers.
-
🤍 (@pajamagirl222) reportedNowtv needs to just release melek character because nothing they do or say will help calm people ridiculous theories. If you stop watching it will affect everyone including behind the scenes. And guess what no one will have a damn job. @nowtvturkiye #HalefKöklerinÇağrısı
-
D'oh NFFC (@FaceNffc) reportedAnyone else watching on Sky / NowTV having sound issues? For me, the sound is a few seconds behind the pictures. It's the same across different devices too #nffc
-
Gary Bibby (@garybibby) reported@NOWTV your trailer about @hbomax coming together has a spoiler from Heated Rivalry in it, please fix that.
-
Lewys Tapscott-Nott (@LewysN01) reported@HBOMax_UK @NOWTV hey I got a problem with my Nowtv and HBO app, so if I'm finished with Euphoria season 2 episode 8 it won't go away from my continue watch.
-
Ash Holland (@AshleyH05644832) reported@NOWTV why does everything I watch on your app now include audio description with no option to turn it off? Obviously there’s benefits for people who need it but paying subscriptions when you can’t choose whether you want it or not is a bit of a joke! Help please!
-
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!
-
David Aspinall (@David_Aspinall) reported@CliveRoper @NOWTV it has stopped working on 2 LG tvs and an amazon firestick for me, but working fine on my phone. Funnily enough the tv/stick apps had all been logged out (and updated maybe?) and I needed to log in first, then the error.
-
laur 🪽 (@hoIIanov_) reportedliv is having an absolute crash out and seeing me 50 videos because nowtv have sped up the heated rivalry episodes. please help @god @10DowningStreet @nowtv
-
Charlie Vanstone (@iamcvanstone) reported@PlanFluor @NOWTV @SkySportsF1 I’ve gone down that route, it’s completely fine. I’m not the only one dealing with this issue. It’s a known issue with NowTV. Otherwise, my internet works fine and other tv providers and live works fine.
-
Chris Collinsberger (@cptrelentless) reported@Benleo NOWTv has an even worse Indian call centre, I guarantee it. VM is only the second worst TV co.
-
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
-
Chelsea (@Ch3ls34ss) reported@NOWHelpTeam I thought the issue with two devices had been resolved but alas it's back to how it used to be. I don't have to force close any other app I subscribe to, why do I have to do it with nowtv?Why can the app not be intuitive enough to realise the first TV is on standby?
-
Ben Wayland (@BenWayland99) reported@NOW @SkySports broadcasting been ******* awful today, football kept cutting out and now the F1. Love my nowtv subscription use it all the time but its getting frustrating #nowtv #skysports
-
Tooves (@OneTooves) reported@_hypocaust NowTV has regular play issues for me. Often needs resetting, and the default screen is a mess. DAZN has lifted its game but is still prone to bad jitters.
-
David Garratt (@Dave_Twig_G) reported@skytv sky stream is the biggest waste of money I think I’ve ever signed upto, crashes, buffering , and 50% of the time technical error on UHD. Please contact me, I want my contract cancelled asap I’m going back to @NOWTV, works much better
-
Tamsin 'Vampi' Brown (@TamsinEBrown) reported@nowtv Pleaseeeeee can you address the stream quality of the F1 😤😩
-
The Vanquish (@TheVanquish) reportedDear @NOWTV please make sure that your live streams actually lip sync with the audio & that every time you cut to a break that the app doesn’t crash please? I’m getting kind of bored of it now. If this is what I pay for, you need to try harder #SortItOutPlease #SickofIt
-
Kieran 🏎️🏁 (@KieSF1) reportedIs anyone using NOWTV and having some lag with F1? My internet speed tests are perfect yet it seems to cut off, doesn’t buffer as such, just seems to go all pixelated from time to time and the audio stops?
-
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.
-
Kas (@KacperKorol) reportedBtw **** Now TV the colours on the app are absolutely horrendous. The whole episode was basically red / pink like Jesus Christ fix your ps5 app @NOWTV #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdom
