    @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."

  • 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.

  • MigryM migry_main (@MigryM) reported

    Wrote to my local #Tory MP @ShaileshVara asking for all BIG companies to be forced by law to provide 0800 customer support. The "SOLUTION" suggested by @grantshapps to the total lack of customer support from @nowtv was to contact Citizens Advice. #WTF ? How on earth can they help

  • IAmJamesLowe James Lowe (@IAmJamesLowe) reported

    @NOWTV can someone please tell me how to sign out and sign in to the Now app on LG Smart TVs? Everything online says to go to ‘My Account’ but that option is simply not there. I’ve tried everything.

  • damianstafford Damian Stafford (@damianstafford) reported

    @NOW @nowtv I subscribe to your "super fibre" broadband service. For the last 24 hours its download speed has been far below the guaranteed 70 mbps---it's currently 39 mbps---and the connection keeps dropping. I'm in CH1. What's the problem, and what are you doing to fix it?

  • fitzfun2011 kelvin Fitzimmions (@fitzfun2011) reported

    @virginmedia my package was £59 LTV 200 BB . Even cutting BB speed to 100 , did not notice any different. Charged £110 2 mths as contract lapsed . No call even though registered sight problems. 15 years customer you wany an extra £20 Sky not Inc films . @NOWTV inc Atlantic £9.99

  • RafLee84 Scarlet_Beech (@RafLee84) reported from Lambeth, England

    How to watch HBO in UK ( sky is too expensive, NowTV stream is very low quality ) ?

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @nsbeddoes_music Thanks Neil, what device do you use to watch NowTV on? And do you have the same issue when you watch on another device? -GH

  • mrbakerphysics Chris Baker 🚀⚽️ (@mrbakerphysics) reported

    @Zacnaloen Yeah happened a few times recently - they seem to be editing it for the cinema, not a living room. This combined with the terrible bit rate on NowTV made Raised by Wolves unwatchable. Literally couldn't see what was happening.

  • JennyPreston13 Jenny Preston (@JennyPreston13) reported

    @NOWTV terrible customer service - being told that they trust me enough to give me an email address, as they can't find my payment. Trying to cancel membership as not clear what I was signing up to. #trustnotrust
