    Hey @NOWTV My router and TV are less than 10 metres apart, great speed to the router yet can barely watch anything being streamed. It is dire. Either I get severely low quality or it just buffers for ages

  • datascience_fun David Buck (@datascience_fun) reported

    @ruskin147 @virginmedia I was completely put off Virgin from the constant complaints of outages on Hanwell Friends FB. Apart from an outage when an OpenReach cabinet flooded, NowTV Broadband has been flawless.

    Why can I not find Season 8 of The Blacklist on @NOWTV ?! I need my next Reddington fix! @skytv #NowTV #TheBlacklist #WednesdayMotivation

    @NOWHelpTeam Hi. Twitter says "NOWHelpTeam can't be messaged" ? Problem > Trying to log into NowTV account > forgot password > your email to me to change password never arrives. Made several attempts. Please advise by DM why? Thank you.

    @NelsonAK13 @toryboypierce @BBCOne I pay for basic sky package, still have to watch ads despite paying for it. I have an occasional NowTV movies subscription. Have to watch ads before films. Both work out significantly more than licence fee with less original shows. with no public service remit.

    @agbu44 @fia @F1 I agree. NowTV gave us free coverage of the race, something is not watched for years. But that ending was disgraceful esp as he had an 11+sec lead just before the crash. I don't watch football as it's a corrupt business. Looks like F1 is still dodgy.

  • FrecklesFieldo Emma Tetlow (@FrecklesFieldo) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam It's not all that long ago that I bought a new NowTV stick from you, and that stick is now broken. It won't play anything, at all. What a waste of my money.

  • abdinw1 abdi (@abdinw1) reported

    @avi1508 @NOWTV Yep same issue, anyone found an answer?

  • pt_casey Peter Casey (@pt_casey) reported

    @NOWTV I have been cut off from your live chat 3 times. I am owed a refund and need help@locating it or checking if it has happened. Your system is useless. Apologies for technical difficulties are not of interest. It is too difficult to deal with you. Sort it out!

  • CoodDoBettr Could Do Better (@CoodDoBettr) reported

    When I click the button for @NOWTV service status I expect to see a Service Status page, not a sales page. Are you having any Internet / broadband issues in Northern Ireland right now?
