    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.

  • RachelHad2 🎢👠Rachel Hadley🎢👠 (She/Her) (@RachelHad2) reported from Perton, England

    @SkySportsF1 @NOWTV can sort out the intermittent sound issues with the transmission for the F1 please!?! It's annoying

  • 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

    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

  • _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

    @NOWTV Please make the app better...constant issues streaming via TV. Internet connection is fine.40 quid a month for "something's not right "

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Greatttttt nowtv is telling me there’s an error and not allowing to watch euphoria 😭😭

  • KylieSkinUK Doja Dimitrescu Cat (@KylieSkinUK) reported

    I reckon whenever you watch so much of @now they **** up the quality on purpose so you buy the boost I have 3 internet connections and all of them are producing ****** quality ONLY on nowtv app. ******* shambles of a money grabbing company.

  • chris24442 Chris Jones (@chris24442) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam BT Openreach are due to update me tomorrow, this is the fourth date I have been given. I am disappointed you have failed. I am outraged that you communicated with nowTV to deactivate my old broadband which was previously fully working, leaving me unable to work.

  • Quincey_Bee Quince (@Quincey_Bee) reported

    nowtv really is the absolute WORST streaming service, like why am I having to watch ads????!!!

  • iabehl Abhishek Behl 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@iabehl) reported

    @NOW having problems with your service. Can you tell us when you intend to start your service back as it says it's not available!! #nowtvdown #now #nowtv

  • stevengrimley Steven Grimley (@stevengrimley) reported

    @YNWA_4Life @SkyHelpTeam I read somewhere it did, and the cast option became available on the app, but not working now. Had to dig out the old nowtv stick ha.

  • amr_ita amrita🌻 (@amr_ita) reported

  • knit1slip1psso Plane Jane 🇪🇺 (@knit1slip1psso) reported

    @waitsalive1978 @tv_mucho We are so hog tied with providers here in Madeira. We have tried others #Filmon eg. but they both buffer, get snags etc and TVMuch is cheaper so kay as well go cheap. So wish we could get NowTV

  • DeclanS_Byrne Declan Byrne (@DeclanS_Byrne) reported

    So if my useless management company takes weeks to bother to fix it, you won't reimburse for loss of service and you won't put pressure on the company to fix YOUR PRODUCT. So why shouldn't I just cancel my entire subscription and use NowTV?

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @TobiasPaterson Navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow Delete the Cisco folder Open NowTV Player and it should work. If this doesn't fix it, delete that cisco folder as well as any NowTV folder inside C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming Then reinstall NowTV Player
