    @nowtvhelp Its still down. I don’t have either Nowtv stick or chromecast? So what’s the issue?

    @NOWTV Did you not notice the screenshot of live chat NOT WORKING

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris KEEP YOUR MASK ON Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported from London, England

    I was so wrong about Peacock not coming to the UK - still trying to work out how it plans to coexist as a distinct product with Sky. Most of the launch content is already streaming via #skyq and #nowtv

  • Garrardinho Gary Lager (@Garrardinho) reported from London, England

    @nowtvhelp I am currently using the NowTV Player software on PC w/ a HDMI cable to my TV. This works OK but occasionally this freezes and the video & audio go out of sync which wasn't an issue with Chromecast.

    @NOWTV Hi, are you having issues at the moment? I am unable to sign into my online account to change a subscription. Thanks.

  • UsAtTheCinema Us @ The Cinema (@UsAtTheCinema) reported from Grays, England

    Anyone have consistent issues with @NOWTV remote connection? No matter what I try! I’ve tried throwing the TV into a landfill site, buying a newTV, resubscribing, howling at the moon 3 times before midnight and sacrificing 12 remote controls and still have the same remote issues

    @manchestermelly @Tachyon100 I'll be honest, I could happily do without any of those. We have Prime, Disney+, NowTV and Netflix, plus the broadband and the TV licence. I would need the broadband for work anyway, but in total that's £75 a month. Blimey.

  • Micropig83 Tommy Nick (@Micropig83) reported

    @NOW embarrassing quality and service. I have rebooted the app on PS4 And still innumerable, nay, constant buffering and slowdown, particularly on @SkySports Demand compensation, but will certainly be leaving #NOWTV and ending my subscription. Never this problem on @amazon

  • Jen_Corrigan82 Jen Corrigan (@Jen_Corrigan82) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Ok thank you I will do but can you advise why I am having the issue when opening NOWtv? The home page sticks with your logo and the circle spinning timer?

  • Kia_Who_ KiaRebecca (@Kia_Who_) reported

    @bt_uk It’s saying it’s an issue with my router but it’s 100000% not. My connection is fine, prime and Netflix are working fine, it’s just the NOWTV channels

  • johngreenemusic John Greene Music 💙 #FBPE (@johngreenemusic) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @NOW I solved this problem by installing a Roku stick & investing in the 'Boost' 1080 upgrade. There remains a REAL issue between Sky/NowTV and earlier versions of Chromecast however and it would be helpful if you could resolve it AND inform customers such as myself of its existence.

  • Walldanzig Dan Wall (@Walldanzig) reported

    @NOWTV how do I get in touch with you guys every road says speak to an agent every click there after goes to a help topic that doesnt help not an agent

  • TimothyUptonLBH Timothy Upton (@TimothyUptonLBH) reported

    They're aware of the issue, engineers on it, directed to the NowTv forum (i'll pass), no ETA for resolution at the moment.

  • AhhRickyBobby Matt R (@AhhRickyBobby) reported

    @NOWTV @NOWSport After 2 days worth of emails you advise me my issue has been escalated. 3 days after that you emailed me to say you haven't heard back from me!?!? Emailed you back 5 days ago to ask what's going on - no response #NowTV is a joke...

  • LastSingleGirI 😷 LSG 😷 (@LastSingleGirI) reported

    @NotSoSlummy @CollieBobbles @skytv I have had all sorts of problems lately, both with my wifi connectivity and mini box. I'm so tired of it. And I pay a fortune for the privilege. I think you can get sky sports on NowTV? Probably BT sport as well. Not sure what I would go for instead though.

  • josh_kruk Josh Kruk (@josh_kruk) reported

    Why are Sky Sports streams on NowTV through a Chromecast sooo **** the quality is barely HD and always freezing 🤬
