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

  • 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 !

  • 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 ****

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • PVPCatford Peter Faiers (@PVPCatford) reported from London, England

    @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!

  • 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.

  • 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 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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • juicyjamieson Bee Thalia 🐝🏍️🏊🏼🏖️☠️ (@juicyjamieson) reported from London, England

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

  • 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 !!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Pankaj16789 Pankaj Gupta (@Pankaj16789) reported from London, England

    @NOWTV @NOWTV_It please help to get this fix.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    @NOWTV - I keep getting "Unable to load sign in, please try again later." This has been the case for days. I have tried with various different browsers. #PoorService #nowtv #nowtvsignin

  • elliottbower Elliott Bower (@elliottbower) reported

    @Nffcfamily Tonight I'm going to have to teach my mum how to work the amazon fire stick to watch the game on nowtv. Wish me luck! 😕

  • Thegoodbyegirl1 TGG303 Jaqthew (@Thegoodbyegirl1) reported

    @teejay613 That would work if I had Sky, I don’t, I have NowTV.

  • Telboyshow Terry Flannigan (@Telboyshow) reported

    @jaythorpe @NOWTV At half time restart your router. That'll rule out the problem being your end. i.e your Internet being too slow.

  • belongins BamBam (@belongins) reported

    @NOW #nowtv Sucks donkey ****. Live events are hugely delayed. Shows just stop working only to then work fine once you re-select and the picture quality is so low rent it’s unacceptable.

  • atole63 Alan Tole (@atole63) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Yes thanks did all that no success. I have emailed nowtv to help with refund. Thanks

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @_anniemadder 👀 We're really sorry about this disruption to your viewing! We've identified a problem tonight with our app on Amazon FireTV & NowTV and working towards a fix so you can get back to your telly as soon as possible.

  • specileptic Dan Mitchell (@specileptic) reported

    @Winskillfull @NOWTV Nope. It was a flippant off the cuff remark. I have the same problem with many shows on Now

  • Winskillfull Cursed (@Winskillfull) reported

    @specileptic @NOWTV That doesn't solve the accessibility issue for all viewers?
