  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    @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

    @NOWTV your NBA coverage keeps cutting out the audio intermittently! What are you doing to fix it?!?!

    nowtv hands down worst streaming platform it’s so expensive you have to download a separate app to your laptop to work it and it has ******* ads who designed this ****

  • KatAlexPas Katerina (@KatAlexPas) reported

    @jesslynnrose Have you ever tried NowTV though. You can't stream it in the browser and have to download a mac app to watch. However you can only choose what to watch from the browser. It then opens the downloaded app to stream (if it doesn't crash) 🤯

  • rubyskyeruby skye ! (@rubyskyeruby) reported

    Nowtv is literally the worst broadband I literally hate them forever

  • FreeSpe27651282 Free Speech (@FreeSpe27651282) reported

    @spburgin @BBCNews I think the issue is generally that those opposed to the license fee are pressured to pay this fee just because they have a TV. I think everyone (apart from the BBC) would be happy if the BBC was a subscription service like Netflix or NowTV for example.

    @wevegotwheels I'm using NOWTV and have had no issues!

  • HannahGravett Hannah Gravett (@HannahGravett) reported

    Nowtv on is currently appalling experience on desktop. Play a show for 2 minutes and a laptop sounds like it’s going to take flight. Sooooo frustrating given the price especially when it has all the best shows😩 Worst usability in the gameeeee

  • ValentinoMossy C (@ValentinoMossy) reported from Louth, England

    3 & 1/2 years with sky broadband. Not one issue. Less than a month with @NOWTV and its gone down twice, is half its claimed speed and the customer service is, frankly, crap. Had no service since 8am, phoned three times, Now claim its openreach (it isn't) and they're not fussed

  • Kirsten90882666 K (@Kirsten90882666) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam When contacting live chat the person said that this is a issue that a lot of customers are having right now! But can’t tell me when it will be sorted out! Asked if I had to get back in contact with nowtv and got told…not really!! What a poor service

  • hiamb_ Amber (@hiamb_) reported

    @stephenj159 I didn't realise NowTv did it?? I wouldn't be able to work out to do it illegally 🥲

  • WrayandNathans Wrayde Cunningham (@WrayandNathans) reported

    @NOWTV this is ******* disgusting i’m paying £9.99 a month for just TV and I still have to watch ads. Fix up disgraceful service 🥴
