  • 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

    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.

  • _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."

  • 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

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

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

  • 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!

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

    Anyone else using @NOWTV app not able to cast at the minute? Never had an issue before but it just isn't bring up the option to cast. And I can cast from all my other apps.

  • FamousNo7 FamousNo7 (@FamousNo7) reported

    @knaggsy097 Just get the NowTV app mate directly on the TV and login. Them boxes have really **** encoding and aren’t worth the hassle. If you use the app directly, it has no problems 👌

  • KateCornwell Kate Cornwell (@KateCornwell) reported from Bournemouth, England

    @NOWTV why can I not login. Been trying for several weeks now. Want to amend my passes 😠

  • lisbon9707 Lisbon (@lisbon9707) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam My card was compromised. They bought nowtv. My card was changed and yet you continued taking payments. It’s called fraud, and worse still, like this, you won’t talk to anyone! How do you resolve that issue in customer support with speaking ?

  • FOWfilms Dory 66.6% Vaccinated (@FOWfilms) reported

    @seafoamghost NowTV is one of the worst for subs. I've watched things where entire conversations just don't get subbed

  • Elmono404 Elmono (@Elmono404) reported

    @dizzydarkrai @Ankaman616 The cost is also an important point. When I was a student I used to stream games, only bought subscriptions when in full-time work and could afford it. Even now I struggle to justify the ~£50 monthly cost for NOWTV+BT when I pay less than that for TV Lic (BBC), Netflix AND Amazon

  • Tachyon0011 Tachyon0011 (@Tachyon0011) reported

    @primevideouk No because it was a pointless tweet. Just fix the Prime video app on Nowtv devices. The Prime app needs a seperate 'Watch List ' & ' Continue Watching ' list. The search system is too slow. The search colors of yellow over white is really bad.

  • SanjayS87236379 Sanjay Sharma (@SanjayS87236379) reported

    @MartinSLewis Changed home phone provider in January to nowtv using Uswitch. Was told by nowtv everything would be sorted by them. After having paid out last #TalkTalk bill, 3 months later we are still being billed by #TalkTalk for services they're not providing. Please HELP!!!

  • TomLunn Tom (@TomLunn) reported

    @WalshAdam17 And the NowTV help section is appalling
