    @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

  • 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!

  • 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."

    @SkyHelpTeam leave DNS to the professionals please like Cloudflare or Google. Can’t change the DNS servers on the router (NowTV), something I could do with other providers and per device is a no-go. Fix it please.

  • antexperience A (@antexperience) reported

    @NOWTV Hello, I have tried both of these and still not working. The live chat wasn't helpful either as it wouldn't let me chat with someone, just the bot.

  • dirty_furs Shakieran Shakieran (@dirty_furs) reported

    Ugh @NOWTV is just the worst

  • Shannon08851410 Shannon Higgins (@Shannon08851410) reported

    @NOWTV hi what is wrong with the broadband I am trying to work from home and can’t as it keeps dropping

  • JimGardnerSNCLP Jim Gardner 🇪🇺 Remain Gammon (@JimGardnerSNCLP) reported

    @NOWTV Deleted my account since a software "update" which made the device slow and prone to crashing. Numerous emails and messages to tech support on social media ignored. Converted to Amazon TV and will never go back. Yet another Sky product that doesn't actually work as advertised.

  • McnabGareth Gareth McNab (@McnabGareth) reported

    Hey @nowtvhelp @NOWTV - my internet is down, your line test isn’t working, your website is crap and my kids wake up in 9 hours - if there’s no tv, fortnite, roblox or youtube, I’m gonna have to actually talk to them or play with them or something - please help!

  • ClaudFCR iClaud (@ClaudFCR) reported

    @ProbablyDriving @NOWTV Took me two resets of the Sky box before I thought to search to see if there was an issue. Doesn't seem to be any communication at all.

  • Jenni_Marshall Jenni Marshall (@Jenni_Marshall) reported

    @NOWTV I tried it on both my phone and ipad and it still wouldn’t work. I paid £9.99 for a 24 hour pass to watch a show and wasn’t able to. How do I go about requesting a refund?

  • RPartytime Partytime ⁷♿🏳️‍🌈🌹 (@RPartytime) reported

    @NOWTV Still not acknowledging the broadband issues??

  • tonybh53 Tony Barrington-Hill (@tonybh53) reported

    @NOWTV HD channels are breaking up. Tried retuning the channels on two boxes and they have completely disappeared. All none HD channels work perfectly. As stated earlier HD channels direct to TV work perfectly, problem is only when using Nowtv. Full fibre at 300mbs?
