    @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

    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.

  • katebevan It's Katemas Time (@katebevan) reported

    oh for actual effing sake: the latest version of the NowTV app isn't compatible with a Chromebook. And you can't watch in the browser. It is by some distance the very worst streaming experience

  • SkyHelpTeam Sky Help Team (@SkyHelpTeam) reported

    @AlexandraRants You'd need to contact NOWTV if you're having issues with their box and you're their customer. They're available on Twitter to help. Liam

  • pmg_pgmco PM (@pmg_pgmco) reported

    @NOWTV hi there’s no sound on sky news @NOWTV how can I fix this? Tks

  • dtsn Daniel Saxil-Nielsen (@dtsn) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam I found out the problem. I am using pi.hole to block ads. It seems the nowtv app loads up an ad server on load. If it fails it gives up and doesn’t load anything. If I disable the blocker for 10 seconds everything works fine. I think this needs to be filed as a bug report!
