    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _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."

  • 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!

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

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

    @plex Once installed, the Plex app works with secured connections again, the Samsung Smart Hub App store works again, and you don't get certificate errors when using apps (e.g. @NOWTV)

  • grinnders Dave Grindey (@grinnders) reported

    @TheGadgetShow @jonbentley90 I only have problems with Apple devices not connecting to wifi randomly on occasions, even when streaming devices have no issues (I.e. NowTV). Can Jon do a special on that?

  • JimmyRiggers James Rigby (@JimmyRiggers) reported

    Anyone else not able to log into their now account after changing their password. Password is correct but it just won’t log me back in on any device. #nowtv if you are out their, HELP! #annoying #help

  • douglas_andy Andrew Douglas (@douglas_andy) reported

    @voxomalley @NOWTV Yea, it’s terrible. Really annoying it doesn’t have catch up either. Some say Dropbox is the problem, need to uncheck “share screenshots with Dropbox”, or if you have Telegram it apparently quitting it works.

  • ricbulzis ric bulzis (@ricbulzis) reported

    @NOWTV I have just signed up to now tv and cannot access it on my TV. Very annoying! Sign in details apparently don’t match. 6 attempts now!

    Looking for help from the Twitter family: if you have a NowTv app on your TV but don't subscribe can you use someone else's login on your TV or only on a phone or tablet?
