  • 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.

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

    Trying to watch prog on @NOWTV_It / any idea why it’s not working ? #nowtv

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @jammylubbe @NOWTV Apparently it was everyone’s broadband that was the problem. Just been speaking to their so called help

  • 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

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

    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.

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

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

    You know what? NowTV is just the worst. The Now TV Amazon app sucks *****. You can only watch using their app (no browser, due to reliance on Silverlight). And they charge the same as everyone else. You can't queue videos. And to top it off, as of today, UNSKIPPABLE ADS!

  • marinahugscats Marina 🦄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@marinahugscats) reported

    @NOWTV the new update isn't good. Keeps crashing and no option to scroll through channels? Hope it's a work in progress

  • nats2016 natalie (@nats2016) reported

    @NOWTV Internet problem since yesterday. What's going on

  • KingSirdave sirdaveking (@KingSirdave) reported

    @NOW Nowtv box. Not receiving any errors at all. But it is alot slower than pre update and the layout is not as user friendly. Thanks for reply.

  • blacklodge_omb Blacklodge (@blacklodge_omb) reported

    @RokuSupport @beccammartin It's a recent update that's doing it, no amount of removing/reinstalling the app will fix it. NowTV is conducting a beta test publicly.

  • ActionManXVI ActionMan (@ActionManXVI) reported

    Sky & NowTV are terrible.

  • SteBobRoughley Stephen Roughley (@SteBobRoughley) reported

    Is there anything redeemable about NowTV? Gone for a free trial to watch Justice League but it has awful streaming quality issues and regular drop outs not to mention that stupid PIN UI that makes you reveal each number of your PIN as it's entered. Not worth paying for 😤

  • JSDMN87 Jen (@JSDMN87) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam since the update the smart box (the freeview version) is really slow and can’t watch tv from the TV guide, have to go into the nowtv bit. Is this issue going to be resolved? Some shows are glitching too. My broadband is working perfectly. #nowtv

  • lovetherobot Phil Dunne (@lovetherobot) reported

    @Stephen_C_Ward We had problems with NowTV last night for a good while. I find tethering off my phone better for streaming now 🤷🏻

  • oliviaa_mushigo Olivia (@oliviaa_mushigo) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam @NOWTV ??? Are you going to help or what?
