    @NOWTV I have been been getting an unable to load sign in, please try again later for 3 weeks. I’ve tried multiple browsers and reset password. Please help!

  • aaron_jolley Aaron Conor Jolley (@aaron_jolley) reported from Kensington, England

    @NOWHelpTeam is once again glitchy. I purchased this service to watch the @lionsofficial tour and I have yet to watch a game in focus. It’s a blurry mess, I have done all your trouble shooting and it’s clear that your service is just not good 👎👎 #nowtv

  • AnnaLou88 Anna 💃🏻 (@AnnaLou88) reported from London, England

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

  • MattX1971 Matt (@MattX1971) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @NOWTV Yes they said there was no known issues when as clear as day there was. And yes, when I attempted to start watching the game i could login but not stream it. You can see by the screen shot I sent loads of people had problems.

    @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

  • NikkiDarke Nikki Darke 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈 (@NikkiDarke) reported from Paddington, England

    @nowtvhelp 9.4.3 build 4079-56 This one is the worst one. They are all the same stick so I guess the same software version. Only happens when watching things through NowTV not any other apps.

  • CCsucksatGolf CC (@CCsucksatGolf) reported from Camden Town, England

    Its incredible that NowTV charges you £60 a year for ‘boost’ which means you can watch in HD. £60 extra for what should be the base minimum quality a consumer would expect. And by incredible, I mean an absolute disgrace

  • 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.

  • CostaLuis5 Luis Costa (@CostaLuis5) reported from Farnham Royal, England

    @NOWTV Update of card payment details in the website doesn’t work. Horrible customer service. The worst I have seen in years !

  • CostaLuis5 Luis Costa (@CostaLuis5) reported from Farnham Royal, England

    @NOWTV There are serious technical issues to renew payment details in their website. Online help is very close to useless, and phone customer services only deals with broadband enquiries. A total disgrace !

  • GUYPRESS Guy Press (@GUYPRESS) reported from Chalfont Saint Peter, England

    @NOWTV not working again?!? #btinternetsortitout #IHateSuzie

  • Noah89334940 Chicken Toaster 🇬🇧 (@Noah89334940) reported from Royal Kensington and Chelsea, England

    @NOWTV I don’t know why I pay for nowtv you can’t even watching anything when you go out! The quality just drops and you can’t see anything even if you got 5G wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Appalling

  • jonplatt89 Jon Platt (@jonplatt89) reported from Hillingdon, England

    Can you watch Sky Sports Cricket Red Button on NowTV? Can't work out it i'm just being dumb.

  • orla_barry Orla Barry (@orla_barry) reported from London, England

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

  • aaron_jolley Aaron Conor Jolley (@aaron_jolley) reported from Kensington, England

    @NOW is the worst service I have had ever. I live in zone 1 central London and I purchased it for @lionsofficial tour. I have yet to watch a game in the crystal clear view I had hoped for. 👎👎👎🤬 #nowtv and yes I have done all your troubleshooting, and it’s still ****

  • aaron_jolley Aaron Conor Jolley (@aaron_jolley) reported from Kensington, England

    @NOWHelpTeam Not sure what you mean. The mobile data on my phone is linked to another network? My issue is the Nowtv Hub constantly struggles with sports, im watching Premier Sports on Amazon prime through my tv now - The picture quality is poor and the signal falls out consistently.

  • veetmaya LeaseholdJail 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@veetmaya) reported from Camden Town, England

    @NOWTV why do I keep getting the same error code ?

  • CostaLuis5 Luis Costa (@CostaLuis5) reported from Farnham Royal, England

    @NOWTV @theheauxmeaux Update of card payment details in the website doesn’t work. Tried it 20 times. Tried to call NowTv as well, but they only deal with broadband calls on the phone. In the end I missed the sports event I wanted to watch, because of this company’s terrible customer service !!

  • sim_poy Simon Poynting (@sim_poy) reported

    No #NowTV broadband service for over a week. Openreach engineer says line OK, been sent a new modem, obviously a problem #Sky should sort out, got to wait till Tuesday for another BT engineer to come and say there's nothing wrong. Stuck in a loop.

  • mrbakerphysics Chris Baker 🚀⚽️ (@mrbakerphysics) reported

    @Zacnaloen Yeah happened a few times recently - they seem to be editing it for the cinema, not a living room. This combined with the terrible bit rate on NowTV made Raised by Wolves unwatchable. Literally couldn't see what was happening.

  • JebusMcMuffin Fuecoco McMuffin (@JebusMcMuffin) reported

    @L3wdOwl I agree, the constant spam is the reason so many people use ad blockers for browsers and apps. Especially on a service you're paying for. It's why I have a problem with the current NowTV subscription model too.

  • citizen970 Citizen (@citizen970) reported

    @NOWTV unable to log in. Network error! What’s going on?

  • Claire71uk Claire E.Will (@Claire71uk) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam @NOWTV @DowndetectorUK broadband out again? Multiple times this week? Day or Night what’s the issue ? Please fix this, my only means of communication as vulnerable non-verbal housebound customer

  • Jon_the_Deacon Deacon Jon (@Jon_the_Deacon) reported

    So apparently I cannot purchase the Cinema pack on NOWtv because my card will not work because NOW demands a house number. We only have house names in our village and when I select my address from the drop down it leaves the house number blank @NOWHelpTeam

  • Beck15Dave ⚽️dave"DJ"beckett⚽️ (@Beck15Dave) reported

    DO NOT use @Nowtv as ur internet provider. I pay £30 a month and my internet goes off every night. I'm ****** sick and tired of the bullshit service. if I'm paying for it, I expect it to work. sat here using data when I pay for WI-FI. ******* Liberty. sort it out. muppets!!! 🤬🤬

  • JennyPreston13 Jenny Preston (@JennyPreston13) reported

    @NOWTV terrible customer service - being told that they trust me enough to give me an email address, as they can't find my payment. Trying to cancel membership as not clear what I was signing up to. #trustnotrust

  • MigryM migry_main (@MigryM) reported

    The "SOLUTION" suggested by @grantshapps to the total lack of customer support from @nowtv was to contact Citizens Advice. #WTF ? How will this help get ANY customer support from @NOWTV ? He really really doersn't get it.

  • EightOxbow OxbowEight (@EightOxbow) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam @Lizzee_d Hi Team, I’m getting the same issue. All previous episodes work. There always seem to be an issue with HAYU content on nowtv.
