  • MrsSherrec Mandy Sheridan (@MrsSherrec) reported from Warrington, England

    @jammylubbe @NOWTV Apparently it was everyone’s broadband that was the problem. Just been speaking to their so called help

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Leyland, England

    @NOWTV I can't find the live chat link anywhere, it just keeps bringing me back to your help page. Have you got a direct link? 🤔

  • MrsSherrec Mandy Sheridan (@MrsSherrec) reported from Warrington, England

    @NOWTV thanks to your poor quality streaming, I has to watch the last two minutes of the F1 qualifying through a blurry picture

  • CallumKerrigan C (@CallumKerrigan) reported from Liverpool, England

    @hayu_uk @NOWTV what’s going on with RHOBH? It’s been 4 days now. What’s the point of having this subscription if it doesn’t work. Other new episodes have gone on so why hasn’t RHOBH? I can’t believe you’re not offering some form of help like a temp log in to actual hayu.

  • CarlJamesFowler KingOfTheClouds (@CarlJamesFowler) reported from Liverpool, England

    Trying to contact @NowTV to enquire about their broadband and honestly it’s the worst. Talking to a Robot does not help.

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Leyland, England

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV Hi, I bought a Sky Sports monthly pass in the early hours but it seems like I've been charged twice. Any help?

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @NOWTV When attempting a “reset” on my NowTV stick, I am getting beyond the internet password only to be told I need to check my hdmi cable connection. There is no problem with that. Solution please?

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @NOWTV shame the Roku powered Now TV sticks keep not working I like Now TV but it would be nice not to have to spend 20 minutes fault finding when I just want to watch GMTV in a morning while I get ready #fail

    Anyone else having issues with @NOWTV stick not connecting to the Internet?

  • BuddyFoster94 Buddy Foster (@BuddyFoster94) reported

    @4Viewers @williamseivwrig Yeah we use the app on the LG smart TV, firestick AND nowTV, and it’s the same across every device I’ve ever tried watching on, regularly cuts out after an ad break for us, then you have to start again and rewatch the adverts when fast forwarding back to where you were. Awful

  • AaronleeEyles Aaron-Lee Eyles (@AaronleeEyles) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam We’ve had two engineers come and look at the line and still no progress, we’ve heard it all before so not holding my breath. But thank you for your help. (Not angry at you just the service x) PS BEWARE and do NOT get WiFi through NowTV #nowtvisoverparty

  • identcalhand1 Si Muir (@identcalhand1) reported

    @TheAshPhillips @NOWTV It’s easily the worst streaming app

  • darrenwaters Darren Waters (@darrenwaters) reported

    Picture quality on @NOWTV @NOWTVHelp is dreadful even with a wired connection and paying for Boost. Barely holds HD quality.

  • 76Kelen Helen (@76Kelen) reported

    @Netflixhelps Sorry, I wasn’t more clear...Netflix isn’t the problem...@NOW tv is! I can stream Netflix with no issues....but NOWTv is dreadful!!

  • Callad75 Andrew Calladine #FBPE (@Callad75) reported

    Hi @NOWTV can you sort you're terrible service out, our programes crash every 10 mins while watching them on the smartstick, then everytime I try and report them via your website the live chat crashes too, not great hey!

  • PlutoniumSox Natalie Ray (@PlutoniumSox) reported

    Hi @NOW can you help please? I can see the new series of @GreysABC but can't play it. My NowTV account says 2 episodes available & I have the entertainment account but it keeps saying start a free trial & I can't play it. What does a girl have to do for a Grey's fix these days?

  • LiamDPurcell Liam Purcell (@LiamDPurcell) reported

    Is the NowTV app on PS4 terrible for everyone or is it just me who has to watch films like they were made on my first camera phone?

  • alanmcalanface Alan David O'Driscoll (they/them) (@alanmcalanface) reported

    @SirBoulderdash @DisneyPlusUK Yeah! At first I thought it was a license issue (like it was already on Netflix or NowTV), but it’s been ages and other people have asked so I’m pretty sure it’s a glitch.

  • KevOrf_5 Kevin (@KevOrf_5) reported

    @Melissa90827791 @TalkTalk Not had any problems with TalkTalk in the past, just disappointed Sky Sports is now only accessible via NowTV, means you can’t pause, record etc on your tv box.
