    @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.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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.

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

    @NOWTV @NOWTV_It please help to get this fix.

  • 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

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 ****

  • 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 !!

  • OmarBenjouad Omar (@OmarBenjouad) reported

    @JordanM_F1 @FelixFellhase @LukeSmithF1 The other alternative, which I'm currently using, is NowTV, it's a sky company as well, that streams the channels, but the quality is not really commendable, capped at 720p, which is way below the current standard.

  • Varanus261 Matt (@Varanus261) reported

    @jnmaccoll @WarnerBrosUK Possibly 4K in sky cinema or just shy for those that still have sky TV. However their compression/bitrate is awful... and NowTV is far worse. iTunes/Apple TV would be my pick for getting the best possible stream. Plus has the Dolby Vision and atmos perks for those with the gear.

  • NforcementDrone EnforcementDrone #RestoreTheSnyderVerse (@NforcementDrone) reported

    @fringebats Does the @NowTV pass work like streaming (on demand) or scheduled (like TV)?

  • MrJakeWalters Jake Walters (@MrJakeWalters) reported

    @NOWTV you emailed me to say I had a free 5 month mobile pass but i just tried using and it doesn’t work. Do I somehow have to activate it?

  • savingmovingmum Hannah Marie (@savingmovingmum) reported

    @NOWTV Yes! And apparently its up to @OpenreachHelp however, they aren't aware of an outage!

  • skipster19811 paul lutkin (@skipster19811) reported

    @HollieB @NOWTV I have same problem 18 pound a month for or 24 for all sports I don't want all the sport

  • Tobias09352701 Tobias (@Tobias09352701) reported

    I live in the UK, and for ***** sake why does #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague have to be on NowTV and Sky? I'm not getting the worst streaming service with the poorest quality or Sky to watch the ******* thing. Like why can't it just be on Prime or Google Play?

  • KitSinclairO Kit Sinclair (@KitSinclairO) reported

    @NOWTV It’s ok on my phone, haven’t tried my laptop but have tried two different versions of the apps via the TV (through the TV and also through a set top)- neither work properly. Crashes multiple times in one episode

  • KaraAmyLarkX †K.a (@KaraAmyLarkX) reported

    @NOWTV subtitles are the worst😩 either the show doesn’t have subtitles or if it does it’s completely out of sync.
