    . @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

    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

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

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

  • 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

    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!

  • 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.

    @NOWTV I’ve tried all ways none are letting me sign in

  • Rhys__Muir rhys muir (@Rhys__Muir) reported

    @NOWTV I’ve been overcharged your websites rubbish there no direct phone numbers I was told I’d only be £29 a month for my fibre broadband got the receipt emailed and it said £35 a month if that wasn’t bad enough my bills come off today and it’s came out at £60 this is awful!

  • Manning1985 MD (@Manning1985) reported

    @nowtv keep getting a terrible jumpy picture watching the Liverpool v Man City game using the Now TV stick. Screen keeps going green or purple too. No issue with my broadband speed. Any ideas how to resolve this please.

  • Manning1985 MD (@Manning1985) reported

    @NOWTV Thanks, it must be an issue with the Now TV stick. I've downloaded the Now TV app on my Amazon Fire stick and it is working fine. I didn't realise you could watch through Amazon until today, much better quality through this 👍

  • eveningmspeters nick's secret account (@eveningmspeters) reported

    @NOWTV hi, can you please look into this further? the overlay issue remains. it's a shame to watch big events like liverpool vs man city today with a poor quality stream, despite paying for Boost HD.

  • 808toon 808 Toon (@808toon) reported

    @nowtvhelp @nowtv can you pls respond to my query? I cannot sign in using my nowtv box

  • jomarshall111 Joanna Marshall (@jomarshall111) reported

    @NOWTV please can help you are charging me money per month and I haven’t bought any passes. Your website won’t let me take my bank details off it and there is apparently no way to contact customer services (I’ve tried)

  • GuildfordBen Ben Guildford (@GuildfordBen) reported

    @NOWTV @VodafoneUK are my internet provider, can’t tell whether the internet or the box is the problem!!!
