Gina (@BlondeTalksSkin) reported@NOWTV can you please explain why on Tuesday I was able to select Superfast broadband for the property I'm moving to but when I've gone back on today it will only let me choose Full Fibre?

Dom (@Dommm1996) reportedWhy do streaming services have their audio adjusted so low? If I’m watching YouTube I have to set my tv volume to 20 or its blaring, yet on nowtv, Netflix, Amazon I set it to max 100 and it’s still low, having to buy speakers when they aren’t the problem clearly

Amy 🥀🗡️ (@wishversed) reported@NOW You've locked me in a 12-month NOWTV contract without me knowing, ignored my complaint for over a month and now 3 agents have closed chats with me and told me they cannot help me. Oh, surprise, no phone line that works! Disgusting.
-
Graham Booth (@laserblue) reported@virginmedia Hi, it seems my set top box is on the blink and my chances of watching my beloved Man City maybe at risk. I could switch to Nowtv, but that will cost me £15 for a 24hr pass. I've used the tips as featured in the trouble shooting guide. No luck. Can you help? Thanks
-
Eddie (@EddTheDick) reportedThe fact that I have to be in the US to use my #AppleTV subscription to watch the #F1 and using a VPN doesn’t solve the problem is bullshit of the highest order. Can’t even switch my Apple ID region because I’d have to cancel Apple One to do it. **** Sky and NowTV. Piracy it is.
-
Ben (@WorbleTweets) reportedWhy is there no way to limit the playback quality in @NOW??? I live in the middle of nowhere so my internet isn't great so i'd like to lower the quality of streaming so it doesn't eat my bandwidth. Such a weird oversight considering every streaming service has this option. #NOWTV

Ted Kaczynski (@stikler4141) reported@lola987123 @FilmUpdates Thats what they've been doing and it sucks ******* ***, NowTV is genuinely the worst streaming app ive ever used, im glad HBOs here now.

Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported@NOWTV Anyone answering Live Char tonight?? Waiting for ages. Now Tv not working on Hisense tv or Amazon Firestick today, all the apps and services on both are working fine. Rebooted tv, router and broadband. All services except Now are working fine!!
-
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.
-
Synchronicity (@74Synchronicity) reportedDear @hbomax and @NOWTV - why can't I download The Pitt onto my iPad to watch on a flight tomorrow? Is it a glitch with the new platform on Now TV, is it a problem with this series or is this simply unavailable for download for Now TV Subscribers?
-
mu (@set__piece) reported@xprvu @sethsfilmreview nowtv speeds everything up by 1.25 and pitched up the audio plus the quality is dogshit

H 🌈 ⊙⊝⊜ (@Min_Mochii) reported@daydreampiv @snoopyshane Yea it’s so ******* **** lmaoo. I mean of course if you watch it on your laptop or phone and not on Sky or nowtv etc it would be fine. But yeah anything streamed on our TVs unless it’s like Netflix etc… it would be affected. But yeah no problem!
-
Will (@willyt027) reported@stikler4141 @lola987123 @FilmUpdates Nowtv is perfectly fine. Should’ve seen it a few years ago it used to be unusable
-
The Blaydon Magpie (@BlaydonMagpie) reportedAnd before anyone from NowTV says "check your connection", its not the 1gb internet line, its literally your **** service. I wouldn't get a nowtv page saying "our technicians are looking in to the issue" on screen, if it was my internet...

Divyesh - @divyeshm.bsky.social (@_DivyeshM) reported@CelticSky28 @skytv @NOWTV The problem is that it's available all at once on not-so-legal channels, so the opportunity to do week-by-week is lost. You can really only do week-by-week now if the entire world is in sync.
-
Swindon! (@swindon124759) reported@STFC_Danni @NOWTV Same here. Highest speed stuff yet it keeps breaking up and sound cutting up. Awful
-
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
-
Bonnie Greaves (@Rexy21) reported@hayuhelps currently pay for hayu via @NOWTV. It seems to be a weekly occurrence now where shows are missing, episodes are missing and take days to arrive IF AT ALL. New series don't materialise until days later. What is going on and why am I paying for such a terrible service?
-
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?
