    . @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."

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @hxtdvm @D__K4YY NowTV is terrible they don't even have 1080p

  • scramblaar Michael. 💙💛 (@scramblaar) reported

    Can't believe I just paid £11.99 for a days access to the shitest app. Nowtv is so ******* broken you have to pay for the boost just for it to actually work.

  • pv1004 pv1004 (@pv1004) reported

    Watching NowTV Top groups of the 70s, cant believe how awful, simpering and wooden some like Dawn, Middle of the Road, Brotherhood of Man etc. were. Absolute slush but some goodies in there as well like Bowie, T Rex etc. #pop #rock

  • salanghae707 reid (@salanghae707) reported

    So an update on our internet situation: had an email from nowtv saying that Openreach are having a problem with their booking system, and they earliest they can provide an update— not an appointment, mind, an update— is July 21st. Not to be old man yells at cloud

  • letoalways01 Steph (@letoalways01) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam I'm guessing the outage in Durham effecting nowtv broadband too as mine is down?

  • ImperioBellaL Rebecca Scorer (@ImperioBellaL) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp @UKTVPlay I have a NowTV stick it runs off Roku The continue watching is where you can pick up from where you left off with an episode rather than have to remember which episode you were up to but that's least of my issues now as everytime I click an ep it takes me back to my nowTV hp.
