. @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."

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.

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

The @BLAZETVUK app is hands down, the worst TV app out there, and that include @NOWTV. The wrong shows are linked with the wrong listing, shows cut off half way through, utterly amateurish!!

@cd2026 @SkyHelpTeam The TV itself is awful, absolutely awful, the sound, the picture, just awful and they know it which is why they're allowing people to have a puck like NowTV to steam sky "glass" through. Plus loads of channels missing, sub standard product.

@PSAWorldTour First glasscourt match of the season - issues already. C'mon folks, you need to be doing a lot better than this. How much is the subscription for live squash? £10.99 per month, more expensive than Netflix, Amazon, NOWtv and only good for 10 months of the year!

@randallbell Never had a problem with NowTV broadband when I had it for a year.

One thing weird though is that I was watching it through NowTV and the picture and audio quality were absolutely atrocious on desktop. Picture was totally washed out, audio was crushed, and I have an excellent internet speed. And not only that but parts of scenes were cut! WTF???

Cry of help to UK-based Bundesliga fans: How are you watching games these days? Murdoch bought the rights, but isn't showing us any actual matches? I begrudgingly bought a trial NowTV sub, but it's looking like a waste of money so far.

@NOWTV just taken great pleasure in cancelling my membership after an appalling experience with your customer service. Awful company, awful service - totally not worth the money.

@Forsyth11 I went with NowTV in the end, £15 a month for all Sky sports channels, reliable and 4K quality.... The 3pms don't bother me, because when we're at home at 3, I'm there anyway, and it's literally 2/3 away 3pms a season anyway! So I'll listen on BBC Radio Manc
