    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.

  • 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

  • _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."

  • 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!

    @NOWHelpTeam @eve_jackson_ I can confirm that mine was not working at all last night, but when I tried today it gave the 'Updating...' message (presumably downloading a new version of the app) and now it's all working again on my NowTV stick.

  • soxxylady Sharon 🦋 (@soxxylady) reported

    @NOWTV hey. I’m having trouble signing into my account to claim the £1 a month for two offer and it won’t let me sign in, I reset my password etc but still no luck. So will miss the offer 😩🥺

  • FROGGIELUCI Andy ✞ (@FROGGIELUCI) reported

    @NOW hi. I can't connect to YouTube through my NowTV?? It works fine on my phone but it won't on my TV, definitely clicked on it, had a black loading screen then went off. Turned TV on and off, also disconnected stick and put it back in with no luck. The others work fine.

  • nessybeeee NB (@nessybeeee) reported

    @hayu_uk and @NOWTV_It are the worst streaming services ever!!!! they are allergic to uploading shows on time #hayu #nowtv

  • Fergie2889 Sal Ferguson (@Fergie2889) reported

    @SamGowland123 I’m in Spain and my NOWTV won’t work here

  • Debbie_Roberts Debs Roberts (@Debbie_Roberts) reported

    @hayu_uk @primevideouk If its anything like the "issue" last month with NowTV.......you will have 2 episodes of both to watch next week! Is this some sort of ploy for us to unsub from amazon prime, resub to now tv, then in a month's time we will be going back to prime?

  • philjones88 Phil Jones 🇬🇧🇪🇺💉💉 (@philjones88) reported

    Damn. Decided to try @NOWTV to watch the Ryder cup. Wow at nearly £40pm I don’t expect crap quality, constant app crashes and buffering. Who thought charging for HD in these days is a good idea?

  • 2FacedPink Stephen Pink 🧙🏼‍♂️🐕 (@2FacedPink) reported

    @primevideouk What’s the issue with Hayu content? Why are you missing two episodes but nowtv has them and you’ve managed to upload a new belowdeckmed today.

  • urban_wedge Kit Covington (@urban_wedge) reported

    FAO @espn, @NFLUK & @NFL: I can legally watch MNF in the UK on Gamespass, Sky/NowTV & Channel 5. I pay for the first 2 & a TV licence But no access to Peyton&Eli!? All I hear on Twitter is how good they are & don't want to be forced to find an illegal stream Please Help!😟#MNF

  • 2FacedPink Stephen Pink 🧙🏼‍♂️🐕 (@2FacedPink) reported

    @hayu_uk @primevideouk But #BelowDeckMed is there no issue at all whatsoever! Either you need to start making a TV app we can all install or sort it out. Cos they are sat on nowtv fine
