    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.

  • 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!

  • _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."

  • CraigDHoare Craig 🌹 (@CraigDHoare) 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

    @NOWHelpTeam hello, I can’t get into my nowtv account as it says incorrect username/password when I used my now tv the other night and can’t get sign back in and when I try and reset my password I click on the link the email I get sent then I’ve changed password but then error?

  • JimFeltham James Feltham (@JimFeltham) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    @NOWTV Was that a penalty? Quality is so terrible I can't tell. #ENGBEL

  • 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.

  • Mimzymoo Mimzymoo ツ 🇬🇧 (@Mimzymoo) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam PS4 Pro. My other apps like Netflix are working without issue. It's just nowtv and has been like this for a month. I spoke to someone at NOW over the phone and i was supposed to get an email but never did.

  • ManfieldA Ashley Manfield (@ManfieldA) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam nowtv isn't working keeps throwing error up saying something has gone wrong 😡😡😡

  • Heardster Ian H (@Heardster) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam No it hasn't been resolved, its been ongoing for months. I have been told by one of your colleagues on live chat that Nowtv Nowtv doesn't have the bandwidth to cope with the demand. This is a problem and you should resolve this for your customers who are paying £28 pm for rubbish

  • ChristineChun59 Christine Chun (@ChristineChun59) reported

    @Fiery40 That would be awful for me as I watch golf on Skysports, via Nowtv , which requires a pretty good speed.

  • gbowmancharlton George Bowman (@gbowmancharlton) reported

    @NOWTV paying £33.99 a month just to watch the F1 and its absolutely awful quality. Constantly buffering. When it isn't buffering, it is pixilated. Not good enough!

  • joseph_morlino Joseph Morlino (@joseph_morlino) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam I’ve done all this last time it happened and I was told there was a problem viewing NOWTV on a PS4, has this been fixed or is that why, yet again I can’t watch the match?

  • TheHoggy Hoggy (@TheHoggy) reported

    Does anyone else normally buy a sky sports day pass on NowTV? Option has disappeared, anyone else having same issue?

  • notdiablosrsly Ryan (@notdiablosrsly) reported

    all I want to do is watch F1 @nowtv why do you have account issues now of all times, can't watch anything, can't see billing, this is the 2nd time it's happened too.
