    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.

  • 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.

  • _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."

    @mooonweaver I’ve been having this problem 😭 I think we would have to pirate it rn but I guess it’d air on nowtv or something at some point, I know other hbo shows are on there

  • thebrainymac Rebecca McDonald (@thebrainymac) reported

    @SamAychG I have a nowtv login you can use if you want

  • trevordobie Trevor Dobie (@trevordobie) reported

    I've been reading about VOIP telephony replacing our landline battery powered system. What happens if there is a major power outage. Do we lose all communication?#openreach #NowTV

  • Plowra76 Alexandra Plowright (@Plowra76) reported

    @NOWTV I pay extra for Boost so I can watch uninterrupted. Apparently trailers for other shows don’t count and worst of all contain spoilers. Thanks for ruining the grey’s anatomy mid season cliffhanger for me 😡

  • penwing penwing #Resist #FuckThisGovernment (@penwing) reported

    Righteo Twitter, you have just over half an hour to help me decide what to watch tonight, NT at Home’s Amazon Channel seems broken so it’s Disney+, AppleTV, NowTV or booting my my computer… things that spring to mind immediately are Hamilton and Come From Away

  • jkn600 Insert Name Here (@jkn600) reported

    Was considering a @NOWTV subscription, but the fact that 720p is the maximum quality for PC is an instant put off. The fact that 720 is still in your vocabulary as a streaming service limit in 2022 is beyond me

  • tafzeus ramsay bolton (@tafzeus) reported

    User interface on NowTV is terrible, you can’t even skip intros

  • PaulAnthonyLutz Paul Anthony (@PaulAnthonyLutz) reported

    @NOWTV @now For the love of god, please sort your service out. Tonight's England game picture quality was either unwatchable or 1940s style. Sheesh.

  • finaIghost abbie (@finaIghost) reported

    @wlwlauriestrode my nowtv free subscription ended like last month HELP

  • goodguyjas Jason Needs (@goodguyjas) reported

    @NOWTV the now tv app on iPhone is regularly getting stuck buffering and only restarting my phone clears it. Not sure if it is you guys or IOS15x as not had issues before. Any known problems? Removed and reinstalled app.
