  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • Nomio1984 Naomi Jewitt (@Nomio1984) reported from Oldham, England

    @NOW Hi, we have a nowtv box (wired wifi connection) and it’s still not working this morning

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @NOWTV When attempting a “reset” on my NowTV stick, I am getting beyond the internet password only to be told I need to check my hdmi cable connection. There is no problem with that. Solution please?

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’ve never, ever experienced anything like the service I’ve received with @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp - the sheer lack of customer care and the way my issue has been handled has been so shockingly bad I literally fail to believe a word they tell me.

  • alext_davies Alex Davies (@alext_davies) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWHelpTeam I finally got through to your unhelpful team. No reason for cancelling my order, no thought for the problems this causes work etc. back to BT great customer service. whatever you’ve done to my broadband now needs an engineer to visit. Don’t go with #NowTV

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’m not usually this type of person however @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp and @OpenreachHelp screwed me over with my broadband due to an issue with the exchange nearby - but failed to notify me. It’s been almost 3 days since I found out and haven’t had a message from them.

  • SophiePrior16 Sophie Prior (@SophiePrior16) reported from Wigan, England

    Anyone else having issues with @NOWTV stick not connecting to the Internet?

  • JoshHalliday Josh Halliday (@JoshHalliday) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp Please can you urgently fix the buffering issues? Not the first time it’s happened - usually during an England game. Not worth the money we’re paying for this.

  • b3ena Beena Mistry (@b3ena) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @NOWTV my sky sport mobile pass is not working! It has only ever worked once, please can you help

  • forzaDane Forza Dane (@forzaDane) reported from Salford, England

    @AldoH35 @BBCiPlayer @NOWTV I have an amazon fire stick in another room and it worked on that. So guess it’s a @NOWTV problem

  • nebskii nebskii 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🐝 (@nebskii) reported from Urmston, England

    The @NOWTV app has stopped working on my @LGUK smartTV, getting error PL-0 whenever I try to play content. Any solution other than resetting the TV to factory settings (NOT doing that as I'll lose my other app data)? Tried reinstalling app, no fix.

  • antoniapoppy Antonia Lallement (@antoniapoppy) reported from Stockport, England

    Hey @NOWTV what’s your problem? Why do you hate your users? Just play the next bloody episode

  • yourmancman1 KoM Cazzer (@yourmancman1) reported from Salford, England

    @NOWTV thanks to your poor quality streaming, I has to watch the last two minutes of the F1 qualifying through a blurry picture

  • MrsSherrec Mandy Sheridan (@MrsSherrec) reported from Warrington, England

  • Trewball John the Bastard (@Trewball) reported from Salford, England

    @jokerdaddy23 if you've not done it already, if you type in NOWTV cinema pass free trial into Google, you can get a 7 day free trial. I'm gonna buy a month pass for £12 anyway hoping it'll help but letting you know there's an option for those who are low on funds etc. #SnyderCut

  • Bleasedog Ian Blease | Dodgers Win! (@Bleasedog) reported from Manchester, England

    Anybody else having problems watching @NOWSport @NOW when watching any sport.. constantly buffering and cutting out 🤬 #Nowtv #SkySports #MUNLIV

  • shanga72 Shanga (@shanga72) reported

    Pathetic customer service by @NOW. Post a link to a chat service you wait ages for, then they cut you dead without helping or even giving you contact details for Now Broadband. Your buffering issues are your issues and do not give value for money. #nowtv #nowtvbuffering

  • frankrafferty frankrafferty (@frankrafferty) reported

    @CelticGossip @CelticFC I'm actually happy that I've spent over an hour demanding a refund for a NowTv day sports pass that didn't work. Otherwise I could've been watching that shitshow of a game. A good team ruined by **** mgmt, **** board, **** recruitment.

  • 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 🤬

  • Phil_Comtek Phil Bartlett (@Phil_Comtek) reported

    @jakedavi5 @bradday14 @NOWTV Have your plugged a pc or laptop into the router to see if the problem still exists?

  • micherrytree mi🪴 (@micherrytree) reported

    if I use the 7 day free pass for nowtv will it be easy to cancel before they charge me? help sksknsn

  • layerz layerz (@layerz) reported

    @Heardster @NOW @NOWTV being fobbed off as being an ISP issue atm - funnily enough we watch tons of content in 4k on youtube, netflix and prime without these issues. But 720p F1 - gotta contact my isp when it buffers....

  • JoeWestHull Joe West Hull (@JoeWestHull) reported

    @matt303 Have you tried PingPlotter to check for dropped packets? I’m having intermittent problems with NowTV at the minute, but I’m currently blaming the onboard software on my TV.

  • Chocolate_Pages Amanda. (@Chocolate_Pages) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Do you have a phone number or email to make a complaint about quality of streaming. I bought a day pass specifically for a massive Old Firm game and the quality was so bad I ended up missing the goals! #UnhappyCystomer #NowTV

  • CharlieLards Andrew Read (@CharlieLards) reported from Marks Tey, England

    @NOWHelpTeam Suprise, surprise another day, race day, and still the same buffering issues! #nowtv you take our money now supply the service! I followed your advice yesterday and this is still happening! #NOWHelpTeam #nowtv
