    @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

    @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

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Hello @NOWTV please could someone get in touch work me? Bought a new stick tonight and keep getting the error "authentication plugin bot downloaded -4" Have tried everything I can find on the website and the bot live chat.

    @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

    @rachelellenpugh @NOWTV_It @hayu_uk The whole thing is terribly designed no? They have adverts ad we pay to use it, quality is often poor, having to download NOWTV player and open it every time? I don't think.

    @Bill626 @NOW NowTV is definitely the worst out there for subtitle support.

    @NOWHelpTeam Would like to say what a pleasure it is to have new NOWtv HUB 2 but its crap. Over 24hrs & still can't connect to 99% of my devices. Cus Serves won't talk to me as husband holds account & is away. Help website useless. Not impressed

    @NOWHelpTeam I have got a Samsung 32inch TV with the nowtv app installed which has kept giving an error message of firmware update needed. I have spoken to Samsung who have said to contact yourselves. The app has now disappeared. Can you help please?

  • DelShepherd96
    Del Shepherd (@DelShepherd96) reported

    @virginmedia Sounds fishy to me, since we told you we're leaving it has barely worked, netflix, nowtv, YouTube etc, it's worst now than before when I complained 🙄

  • easton_j98
    James Easton (@easton_j98) reported

    The difficulty of trying to watch something on NowTV is only overshadowed by buying a membership. I have the sport pass and can watch it on my phone. But not my TV. That says I don't have sport. So, I try to cast it. Which doesn't work. Because it's only 2022 @NOWTV @SkySports

  • sandiegardener

    @NOWTV Hi I have a problem with my Nowtv box (it's old), Evey time I try to watch C4 app it bounces me out. Any idea why?

    @JCFW40 @kasweaver @iamjohnoliver Agreed. No longer have nowtv though. It's only been the UK that had had problems in my recent travels

  • KathRella
    Kath Rella (@KathRella) reported

    For something priced and marketed as a premium service, the technology behind @NOWTV seems so cheap and lazy. No automatic frame rate switching on Fire TV. Regular dips in stream quality. Doesn't even offer preview thumbnails when FFing or RWing.

    @NOWTV do your now TV sticks have some kind of a death timer? Very strange I bought 2 at same time about 1yr ago they were both set on same day, now within days of each other both remotes refuse to pair. #nowtv #nowtvremote unusable and still paying for service!!
