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

    . @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."

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    Why does @NOWTV_It crash on a mac so often. I've uninstalled the app and can't redownload it now. Going to cancel my sub at this rate. Not happy. #NowTV

  • HairballSmith HairballSmith (@HairballSmith) reported

    @WWENetwork why is your service so god awful in the UK? Endless pauses while it buffers. Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, NowTV and even Pluto TV all manage to stream latency free. why can't you?

  • Dan3HitU Dan | 3 Hit U (@Dan3HitU) reported

    @wilsonj194 Oh I see, fair enough, just odd whenever I hear anyone have NowTV unless they work away, Sky direct packages are always cheaper.

  • JoaqueBashir Bashir🇸🇱 (@JoaqueBashir) reported

    My Dad recently switched to virgin media WiFi from our nowtv WiFi (which literally had zero issues), and I have to say, I have had more issues within a week of having virgin media WiFi than I have had with any other WiFi provider in my entire life. @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp

    @NOWHelpTeam @NOWTV For past 2 days I keep get an error message and the program crashes whenever I try to watch anything can't get more than 3 seconds. I think it has something to do with the ads. Can you help?

  • pumpkin_panic_ Jasmine Manning (@pumpkin_panic_) reported

    @NOWTV why is it that at the second set of ads it buffers and then cuts out to an error message, for the last 3 days might I add?! This is ridiculous
