  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

  • _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

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

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp I have been charged for a sky sports day pass but I did not add this to my account.. online chat isn’t working! Please help!

  • catherinetroy catht (@catherinetroy) reported

    @NOWTV I've found out it was on my work email I need it cancelled asap

  • cole_eliot Eliot Cole (@cole_eliot) reported

    @arbitrarygenius Roku boxes are like an actually decent version of NowTV boxes (might even be the same tech, dunno) ... Except they allowed people to watch stuff in quality that was better than 720p. ((( removed original tweeterer )))

  • rmhood300 Richard Martin Hood (@rmhood300) reported

    @NOWTV I've given up on calling because, after many calls over a month it has done no good. It's showing as an issue on the "community" but as far as I can tell you simply just don't care. My only recourse is to try embarrassing you via social media.

  • GreenJack_ JACK GREEN (@GreenJack_) reported

    Not sure which one to watch next after Strike Back on @NOWTV, torn between @BoardwalkEmpire and @SHO_Billions. Which one? #Help

  • JAGLees James Lees (@JAGLees) reported

    @NOWTV It's an issue every time! The android app never activates a day pass properly, I always need to logon using the desktop app. This time it just happened that the desktop app crashed too. Also why does the desktop app load a browser rather than showing potential shows in the app?

  • BeatnikBPC BP Crawford 🍀 (@BeatnikBPC) reported

    @NOWTV you need to fix your rules. A TV Chromecast shouldn't be part of your devices given that ANOTHER device is needed to cast to it; therefore taking up two slots of the 6 you pay for. It's stupid.

  • mathsimprove Jonathan Longstaffe (@mathsimprove) reported

    @NOWTV hope you can help, downloaded NOWTV app to my firestick doesn't appear to accept username and password which work on my laptop can you help?

  • DrChrisMoRo Dr.Morriss-Roberts PhD MA CSci (@DrChrisMoRo) reported

    @NOWTV for broadband is the absolute worst. I spend more time on the phone to them each month than I do my family. The service is terrible - last month five days without internet. Honestly - the worst! Ill and furious. #heartfailure #broadband

  • Mikeyboydadski Michael Armstrong (@Mikeyboydadski) reported

    @NOWTV absolutely hopeless at sorting out both account problems (for several months) and now it is telling me my NowTV box is not a registered device but my account tells me I can add another 6 devices simply by watching a programme on them. AND back to the beginning!
