    . @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.

  • 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

    @NOWTV I have a pass for the arsenal v Watford game and it keeps saying I cannot make the purchase. Is there an issue with your services via a macbook

  • autisticlyaar Aar Jae Wills They/Them 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦💛 (@autisticlyaar) reported

    @cudezue Yes soon the streaming bubble is going to burst and one pop out think with making BritBox in UK ITVX pretty much they shot their chances of making it work. I mean sky is so confusing also it’s Peacock/Sky(SkyGO)/NowTV europe continent Sky Showtime also comcast messy model

  • garius John Bull (@garius) reported

    @NOWTV Right now the only path I can see to actually chatting to a human being at @NOW is to physically rip the line to my house out of the box over the road. So that the line test will fail. So that I can tell them the router is broken. It's a magnificent bit of banality of evil.

  • frankiebxby frankie!! NEW MUSIC 📌 (@frankiebxby) reported

    my brother cancelled his nowtv membership so now i cant watch moominvalley this is just terrible i’m in tears on the ground my back is against the wall and i’m slamming my hands against the floor in anguish

  • MinorPlaces RichardBrown (@MinorPlaces) reported

    @garius @NOWTV I had similar problems with @virginmedia. It seems silly, but a letter emailed to their operations director got some action.

  • Steve__Paxton Steve Paxton (@Steve__Paxton) reported

    @PictureSporting Not going to defend that awful decision (or the move away from free TV in the first place), but I’ve found that switching to NowTV/BT monthly deals means I can swap a month at a time depending on who’s showing what… (Gone are the days of easy Kodi access to free sports, I think)

  • jonnopm john morshead (@jonnopm) reported

    @skytv When your NowTV sports package is so expensive, do you feel comfortable outputting 720p quality and charging £3 extra for HD ( no way near) quality? Just watched a match on Amazon Prime, and it puts yours to shame. At that cost, 4K should be expected.

  • RyanUK90 UKRyan (@RyanUK90) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Your self service checker is awful, it originally claimed the internet appeared slow but the speeds normal (33Mbit down), it then claimed the issue was within the house yet nothing has changed in the house and I even tried the other NowTV router. Same issue via master socket.

  • JokerFuntime Francis Wynn (@JokerFuntime) reported

    @nowtv is a terrible service

    @Bill626 @NOW NowTV is definitely the worst out there for subtitle support.
