    PSA: Now TV are the worst company I’ve ever had the displeasure of coming across. Poor and rude customer service and STILL no working broadband, despite being promised it would be yesterday. @nowtv @nowtvhelp YOU SUCK.

    Hey @nowtv @nowtvhelp please give Ferruccio from your call centre a raise!!!!! We didn’t 100% get to the bottom of my issue (shock) but he cheered me up with chats about Animal Crossing and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Top guy - please be my pal x

    @NordVPN Can you help me get my NowTV app working? I'm currently on holiday and I want to watch the F1. I've played around with all the settings in your app but I still can't get it to work. Help me pretty please 🙏🙏

    @NOWHelpTeam I'm trying to enter a movie nights in code into the skystore app on nowtv and the app won't open. Keep getting 0003 error saying try later. Have restarted the nowtv stick twice including unplugging it.

    .@NOWTV really is the worst streaming service going. Expensive, requires a barely-functional app to watch anything on the desktop, despite being the most expensive streaming service it also includes ads as standard 👎

  • thenaughtysquid name cannot be blank (@thenaughtysquid) reported

    NowTV not having an app for the latest Chromecast is ridiculous. They continue to be the absolute worst streaming service in the UK.

    @snydercutfan It’s all how file fps work or something like that. nowtv/sky never adjusted the files so everyone sounds like a chipmunk That sound issue plus how pixelated it all looked really ruined my first experience of the film. Took a full week off work to watch it as well

  • CurvesAllNight Shelly (@CurvesAllNight) reported

  • mtthw_thmsn86 Matt Thomson (@mtthw_thmsn86) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam I’m watching NowTV on Xbox series X and can I ask have you deliberately made it 💩 quality to force me (people) to buy the overpriced 🐂💩#DLC Boost feature! Audio out of sync, video skipping and poor frame rate. Even thou it’s streaming at a constant 4830

    @MartinSLewis I've got Netflix and YouTube premium. Sky + and NowTV didn't give me proper access after I paid (tiered subscriptions are a scam). I'm not a fan of the demon-mouse. And I've popped into Channel4 premium occasionally. BBC were awful. Claimed I didn't pay when I had!
