    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.

  • _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

  • 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.

  • biggggbandzzz L (@biggggbandzzz) reported

    My nowtv refusing to work on my laptop is annoying me SO BAD im having to watch my dumb show on my phone rn

  • eminahadzic73 Emina (@eminahadzic73) reported

    @theodora335 Has this been confirmed for Kenan's series?! Halef could have a problem with increasing ratings, because they divided the fans at the start. And NowTv cancels series quickly if they don't meet expectations... At the end of last season, they only had HS left...

  • SidXOwozere SidXO (@SidXOwozere) reported

    Decided to give @NOWTV a spin So far: - more expensive than competitors - crap quality streams on EVERYTHING (I have 500meg connection) - ads every 3 minutes so you never get into the flow on a program Binned off End of review 😜

  • BestHeadhunter TheHeadhunter (@BestHeadhunter) reported

    @NOWTV your service is the worst that I’ve ever experienced. The system can’t determine whether one or two devices are being used. It’s rubbish

  • ShkelzenBucaj Syriim (@ShkelzenBucaj) reported

    @NOWTV I payed £14.99 to watch Alvarez vs Siner with my kids. You put advertisements at will and to make it worst right in front of my kids there is man rushing to kiss each other. Dam you low life people how dare you do that?😡

  • DGPIAS 5 (@DGPIAS) reported

    I pay for boost plus on Now Tv and still seeing ads @NOWTV fix this

  • RCFarquhar Richard Farquhar (@RCFarquhar) reported

    Does anyone watch @racingtv via the App on a smart TV? If so, does it work ok? Thinking about switching to NowTV on which RTV is not currently available

  • adamyellowley Adam (@adamyellowley) reported

    @NOWTV app is absolutely horrendous. Off, restart, freeze. Repeat. Do not recommend. Terrible

  • Freely_Advice Freely Advice (@Freely_Advice) reported

    @flixtonred Hi Yes, the apps are pre loaded but you will still need to contact Sharp or NowTV as this is not an issue with the Freely app itself.
