    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.

    @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!

    . @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."

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

    nowTV is the worst the app is horrendous, ads and it’s super expensive

  • KBpops Kirsty Braidwood (@KBpops) reported

    @nowtv, what’s up with SkyStore? Cannot login on TV but can on other devices?

  • Fairhall_dnb Olly Fairhall (@Fairhall_dnb) reported

    @LeadTestInclude @NOWTV @skytv Having said that, you can get good deals on it and it does have good shows. It’s basically Sky but cheaper, slightly lower quality and not a fantastic user experience

  • SimulationDan Dan (@SimulationDan) reported

    @Lillibet_be @NOWTV Do what we did and avert your eyes for the worst, it’s worth it!

  • ITFCphonein Town Fan 🐴⚽️💙 (@ITFCphonein) reported

    @cd2026 @SkyHelpTeam The TV itself is awful, absolutely awful, the sound, the picture, just awful and they know it which is why they're allowing people to have a puck like NowTV to steam sky "glass" through. Plus loads of channels missing, sub standard product.

  • eviewonder22 Eviewonder22 (@eviewonder22) reported

    @NOWTV just taken great pleasure in cancelling my membership after an appalling experience with your customer service. Awful company, awful service - totally not worth the money.

  • DonnyDanger_78 DonnyDanger78 - GT (@DonnyDanger_78) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Really, you just tested it. I don’t watch anything but the sports on nowtv. It’s stutters, I stream BT sports to, this doesn’t stutter at all. This is definitely a #nowtv issue, this is going through the Xbox app.

  • eviewonder22 Eviewonder22 (@eviewonder22) reported

    @MissusBanham @NOWTV This exact thing just happened to me. They’re an awful company. Managed to squeeze a 6th of the money they’d unethically taken as a refund and then cancelled my actual membership. I’ll never go near @NOWTV again. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

  • _asdfghjemima jemima (@_asdfghjemima) reported

  • CityzenAlex ℂ𝕚𝕥𝕪𝕫𝕖𝕟 𝔸𝕝𝕖𝕩 🤝🏼 (@CityzenAlex) reported

    @Forsyth11 I went with NowTV in the end, £15 a month for all Sky sports channels, reliable and 4K quality.... The 3pms don't bother me, because when we're at home at 3, I'm there anyway, and it's literally 2/3 away 3pms a season anyway! So I'll listen on BBC Radio Manc
