    Within 24 hours of me ringing @virginmedia, we’re up and running with broadband (it’s also dead fast, bonus) 👏🏼 If anyone is considering @NOWTV for internet, PLEASE don’t bother. They are honestly the worst provider I’ve ever come across.

  • CraigDHoare Craig 🌹 (@CraigDHoare) reported from Birmingham, England

    @NOWTV Please make the app better...constant issues streaming via TV. Internet connection is fine.40 quid a month for "something's not right "

  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    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

  • ibaird73 Ian Baird (@ibaird73) reported from Birmingham, England

    @nowtv Can’t access my day pass to Sky Sports. Rebooted everything. Other passes are working fine. Others seem to be having issues with @SkySports too! Help!

  • carlsumner93 Carl Sumner (@carlsumner93) reported from Solihull, England

  • JimFeltham James Feltham (@JimFeltham) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    @NOWTV Was that a penalty? Quality is so terrible I can't tell. #ENGBEL

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    . @NOWTV HELP ME PLS 😭 For about a year I've not been able to update my watch list - every time I try to add to my TV it's not letting me again saying: "sorry we're having trouble updating."

  • RachelHad2 🎢👠Rachel Hadley🎢👠 (She/Her) (@RachelHad2) reported from Perton, England

    @SkySportsF1 @NOWTV can sort out the intermittent sound issues with the transmission for the F1 please!?! It's annoying

  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    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.

  • placesIlove alex forsey (@placesIlove) reported

    @NOWTV your service is so bad. The interface is almost impossible to navigate and it’s impossible to use Bluetooth speakers. Worst streaming service by far 🤬

  • waxiebanjo Brian Mc Guinness 🎬🎥✒️🎶 (@waxiebanjo) reported

    Anyone having trouble logging in to Nowtv?

  • paulrobson666 Paul Robson (@paulrobson666) reported

    @NOWTV Why isn't it possible to activate a sports day pass through your Fire TV app? If I buy it via my account page it should be available to use in any of your apps on any device. You need to fix this.

  • artydanny McCarthy Art (@artydanny) reported

    I’m so appalled with the service that I’ve received from #nowtv Money taken, day pass didn’t work and emails ignored. Will I ever get a refund, who knows. 😡

  • rabiestherat Soda Jive (@rabiestherat) reported

    @TalkTalk @NOWTV THE WORST COMBINATION OF TECH COMPANIES!! Crappy/inconsistent connectivity & speeds. Rubbish interface mixed with ****** streaming capabilities.

  • joshaaronr josh (@joshaaronr) reported from Leeds, England

    NowTV is the worst streaming service by a country mile.

  • Slevern00p Slevern (@Slevern00p) reported

    @SamsungUK @CraigxMitch @NOWTV Ah yes, the “engineers” they came to fix my Q950R 8k TV when it broke after 18 months… of minimal use.. £1900 they wanted after the £4k I already paid (flagship model at the time) Absolute trash, worst TVs and aftercare ever. I saved the £1900 and put it towards an LG OLED.

  • teresadg0 Teresa (@teresadg0) reported

    @Bobilly10 All the series tend to be available elsewhere as ‘on demand’ via NowTV (predominantly sky), Netflix and Prime… most can also be found on YouTube. I don’t think you will have any problem finding what you want without the licence x

  • ChrisHughesSays Chris Hughes (@ChrisHughesSays) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Thanks Antony. @NOWTV have repeatedly quoted me that there’s a delay on your part, and the can keeps getting kicked down the line another week each time. Is there any independent regulation or oversight of your activities which would help to expedite an appropriate resolution?

  • imtommyroberts Tommy (@imtommyroberts) reported

    i know design is hard but holy moly nowtv is awful to use
