    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.

  • RachelHad2 🎢👠Rachel Hadley🎢👠 (She/Her) (@RachelHad2) reported from Perton, England

    @SkySportsF1 @NOWTV can sort out the intermittent sound issues with the transmission for the F1 please!?! It's annoying

  • 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

    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

  • carlsumner93 Carl Sumner (@carlsumner93) reported from Solihull, England

    @NOWHelpTeam hello, I can’t get into my nowtv account as it says incorrect username/password when I used my now tv the other night and can’t get sign back in and when I try and reset my password I click on the link the email I get sent then I’ve changed password but then error?

  • _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 "

  • 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!

    Poor streaming quality on @NOWTV should equate to a discounted price! So frustrating 😫

  • crd37 Chris Davies (@crd37) reported

    There’s an irony to watching last week’s episode of Succession - featuring a whole thing on how awful old media platforms streaming services are - on the creaking, buffering, pixelating NowTV player…

  • nburdy nburdy🐣🏳️‍🌈 (@nburdy) reported

    New award for worst app ever made: the @NOWTV MacOS app is appallingly bad. Endless Website redirects. Detection of non existent screen recording software. Routing audio only through speakers, not headphones… ****. 💩

  • BrexiteerScouse Scouse Brexiteer (@BrexiteerScouse) reported

    @SkySportsGolf @NOWTV @PGATOUR #HeroWorldChallenge Was that #BrooksKeopka trying to help or hinder #CollinMorakawa by spotting an unplayable golf ball in the bushes.. 🤔 The latter methinks... 😒

  • mchawk M.C.Hawk 🥓☕🌈⚥ (@mchawk) reported

    So, to tonight. Time to re-up NowTV movies for Xmas and binge watch a load of top quality trash

  • vetchfieId wandering jack® 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@vetchfieId) reported

    When @NOWTV freezes, no buttons on the controller will work, unless you press "Sky Store"... Then it comes to life. Because God forbid you're not able to spend...

  • matthewwright84 matthew wright (@matthewwright84) reported

    @bt_uk Your switch over to @NOWTV for your television package is a shambles, as is your customer service. So many issues stemming back months when an engineer was 'supposed' to come and make sure our hardware was optimised...

  • shanethegooner Shane Ó Dubhuir (@shanethegooner) reported

    @qassim_uk NowTV is literally the worst.

  • altweetsstuff Al (@altweetsstuff) reported

    Anyone got NowTv?! If you have look on peacock or any other on-demand to see if can play anything. Mine keeps telling me there's a error

  • Sharl Robert Sharl (@Sharl) reported

    @unklerupert @NOWTV Just work out what your business model is. Am I paying to watch these ads? Is any of the cash going into developing native UI apps for anything, or do you really think that inventing entirely non-standard ways to navigate video is what the subscribers pay for?
