. @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."

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.

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.

It’s the Lite BTW. Don’t think the full size one would work suitably there. Now to choose which series/movies to download to watch from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and NowTV...maybe other on demand services too! Not sure how reliable the hospital network will be!

Without question the Sky NowTV app has worst user experience and interface of any streaming service ever. Ever.

I need help from someone techy! I have an Amazon fire tablet, I like to watch stuff while I run on the treadmill. Have read that Now is available for it now, but when I try to download, it keeps asking to install on a phone I don’t own any more - any ideas? @NOWTV @amazon

@NOWTV is there a problem with your service at the moment? I've been trying to sign in all day and keep being told, "Unable to sign you in. Try again later". How long is "later"?

@NOWTV Yes, the pattern is that it starts working after an update and then the setting for Local Network access gets messed up and you can't cast I know what to do but my point is your app should be smart enough to avoid this or at the very least flag the issue (ie lost local network)

@NOWTV 6 weeks later, the quality is still terrible. I'm watching on an iMac, using the Now TV MacOS application, on a 1Gbps Virgin internet connection. Everything has been rebooted and updated.

Tried watching the remake of The Witches out of curiosity on @NOWTV It’s hilariously awful and had to turn it off because it was so bad. Someone said “chickenified” and I was out
