    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

    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.

  • 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.

    Right, as someone who binged the other seasons and didn’t watch week to week, when will I be able to watch Succession S4 (GMT) and do the episodes still drop weekly? It’s still on NOWTV (eg Sky) right? Someone help me out, because searching for this information hasn’t helped 😭

    Is #nowtv the worse website ever. I cannot believe in response to "I cant login" the route to a solution is to ask you to login????

    @NOWHelpTeam hey @NOWTV trying to watch #houseofthedragon #GameOfThrones and im@stunned how low the resolution is. It is SHOCKING, then an advert comes on and it’s crystal clear! You are disgrace to offer your content in such awful resolution!!

    Without a shadow of a doubt, @nowtv is the shittest streaming service that exists. If you work for this company then hang your head in shame.

    @nowtv I have paid the entertianment package and still asking for payment, your chatbot is useless and the comminoty cannot help and no pne in call centre can discuss tv only broadband! What do you suggest as I have been trying 5 days. Thos is ridiculous

    nowtv is truly the worst streaming service on the planet

  • davidcochrane
    David Cochrane (@davidcochrane) reported

    I cannot watch NOWtv (Sky) at the moment without aggressive preroll ads saying if you have a tv you need to have a licence. Literally little to zero effort being made to make Irish tv channels actually available on Smart tv devices. Just make an app/apps that work.

    @roberti46943486 I believe everyone with a roku stick / box / tv or even a NowTV stick is having the same issue. Its an ITVX update they pushed out before checking it.
