    . @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."

    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

    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.

    @NOWTV your trailer about @hbomax coming together has a spoiler from Heated Rivalry in it, please fix that.

  • LFC_1970

    @NOWTV Picture quality for the Liverpool game is appalling… don’t try and blame my connection…. It’s fine with all other sources.

    The utter incompetence of @NOWTV broadband who can't even get their own phones to work, let alone my internet. They're run by Sky but can't match a Sky deal and can't answer what happens to my phone number and contract if copper wires stop while i'm in a contract with them...

  • SarahVaci
    Lordy (@SarahVaci) reported

    Watching “All Her Fault” on NowTV (a kid goes missing, it’s implied that the mum is at fault) and watchable as it is the ‘women get blamed for being incompetent in so many ways when they are just trying to juggle work and life and no men ever get criticised’ feels a little contrived and does not add to the story. Anyone else watched this (no spoilers please!)

    ♀Alison (I know my chromosomes) GC ally ‼️ (@notwheeshting) reported

    @NOW I have emailed, you didn't answer. I've looked on your help pages, they didn't help. I do not want audio description on tv shows, I want it gone. It's not my tv, it's only a NowTV problem, I've uninstalled & reinstalled the app, it's still there. I am losing patience.

  • LifeInWales

    @jamster86vdv @NOWTV This Man United feed is the worst yet. Stop start constantly. If you want us to pay to watch PL football then please make it better and more reliable than watching some dodgy feed from the Middle East 🤬

    Heads up to anyone looking to watch the SPFL games at home tonight… My Sky app isn’t working (via Virgin Media) and I’ve heard that some folk are having issues with their fire sticks too. I’ve bought a day pass with NowTV to stream Sky Sports. Just hoping to spare folks frustration and heartache if they don’t have a ticket to go to the game and then can’t get online either! (I know it won’t be a problem for everyone)

  • Dave_Twig_G
    David Garratt (@Dave_Twig_G) reported

    @skytv sky stream is the biggest waste of money I think I’ve ever signed upto, crashes, buffering , and 50% of the time technical error on UHD. Please contact me, I want my contract cancelled asap I’m going back to @NOWTV, works much better

    Anyone else having glitching and stuttering issues while watching the Arsenal/Fulham game on @NOWTV? #nowtv

  • Dommm1996
    Dom (@Dommm1996) reported

    Why do streaming services have their audio adjusted so low? If I’m watching YouTube I have to set my tv volume to 20 or its blaring, yet on nowtv, Netflix, Amazon I set it to max 100 and it’s still low, having to buy speakers when they aren’t the problem clearly
