    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

    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.

    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.

    @JohnRic60842106 @NOWTV Hi. I have the same question. Search doesn’t work either. For instance, I have no ability to access IndyCar on demand. Why have you removed this feature, which we pay for? This service is useless if we can’t find and watch content.

    @SkySports @SkySportsF1 Why is the live coverage for the F2 and F3 events constantly out of sync on NowTV? (Audio comes through about 1 second before the picture). F1 coverage is always fine, but F2 and F3 always has this issue

  • ImperioBellaL Rebecca Scorer (@ImperioBellaL) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp @UKTVPlay I have a NowTV stick it runs off Roku The continue watching is where you can pick up from where you left off with an episode rather than have to remember which episode you were up to but that's least of my issues now as everytime I click an ep it takes me back to my nowTV hp.

    @hxtdvm @D__K4YY NowTV is terrible they don't even have 1080p

  • PaulaDyer16 Paula Dyer (@PaulaDyer16) reported

    @RobLMyers Are you c4 or sky? - Sky's/NowTV etc is behind. When crash happened sky was showing race just starting.

  • eg_emmie Kintsugemmie (@eg_emmie) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam can you please fix your ad service, sick of seeing errors now. Left a show yesterday as unable to load video, tried to watch again tonight, nowtv says no! Logged out and back in, nowtv still says no!

  • scramblaar Michael. 💙💛 (@scramblaar) reported

    Can't believe I just paid £11.99 for a days access to the shitest app. Nowtv is so ******* broken you have to pay for the boost just for it to actually work.

    2/ In answering a previous NowTV question about concerns the health code was used to ground protesters in Henan, Lee warned against 'stirring trouble.'

    @TalkTalk Hi! My parents switched to TalkTalk & NOWTV package last week after a door to door salesman gave them an offer. They haven't received anything about NOWTV and after ringing yesterday and setting up their TalkTalk account it looks like it isn't on the bill. We need help
