    @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!

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

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

  • 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

  • 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."

  • 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 "

    @NOWTV no TV connection tonight. Problems confirmed on checking Outages website!

  • JoeHancockUK Joe (@JoeHancockUK) reported

    @NOWTV Sorry late reply but issue persists and seems to be on all channels but usually the main event?

  • Oddnut Marie Davies 💙 (@Oddnut) reported

    @NOWTV Yes, still the same problem. It's been two days now. I've tried on both my smartphone (Samsung Note 9) and my TV (JMB make) and both give the same, "Oops, something's gone wrong" response.

  • nmstoker Neil Stoker (@nmstoker) reported

    @NOWTV Yes, the pattern is that it starts working after an update and then the setting for Local Network access gets messed up and you can't cast I know what to do but my point is your app should be smart enough to avoid this or at the very least flag the issue (ie lost local network)

  • katejbishopx 𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐄 (@katejbishopx) reported

    @NOWTV Doesn’t work either

  • scully1888 Chris Scullion (@scully1888) reported

    It's a shame that NowTV has so much good stuff on it because it's one of the most awful streaming experiences you'll find, from the need to pay extra for 1080p(!) to the need to download an app to watch it on PC instead of just watching it on a browser.

  • MKUltraLegend Dr. Heath LEGEND (sub to my YT) (@MKUltraLegend) reported

    @NOWTV I mean, many creators have said it’s one of the worst movies of the last decade.. in a similar bracket as Cats, so theirs the morbid curiosity watch I suppose.

  • arrowanaman Alan Thorogood (@arrowanaman) reported

    Hi @NOWTV why does your app rarely work first time on my Samsung tv - I have to restart, log out. So frustrating. All other apps - bbc, Netflix Amazon work fine

  • anu anu (@anu) reported

    @NOWTV 6 weeks later, the quality is still terrible. I'm watching on an iMac, using the Now TV MacOS application, on a 1Gbps Virgin internet connection. Everything has been rebooted and updated.

  • kiwi5755 RyanQ (@kiwi5755) reported

    @NOWTV I'd love to see @rickygervais and @SteveCarell work in or on something together again.
