    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

    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

    @B0aty Nowtv for quality, but I’m sure there’s someone borrowing it online

  • Pissgrave Jessie’s Girl Enjoyer (@Pissgrave) reported

    @Markette_ NowTV the seal of quality

  • rutty_uk Dave Rutt (@rutty_uk) reported

    @LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

  • AaronGameMaker Aaron (@AaronGameMaker) reported

    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???

  • sailorchoon jfeen forever ♥️ (@sailorchoon) reported

    nowTV is the worst the app is horrendous, ads and it’s super expensive

  • MarkSkinner_ Mark Skinner (@MarkSkinner_) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Yes, the program causing the error is NowTV's player… But in terms of other software, no, I've not found the one that yours is confused about…

    @mileswoodford Ok Miles, follow the problems watching nowtv option that applied to you then click on the downward pointing arrow that says get in touch. If you're an apple or mac user, please make sure you have downloaded the recent security update also, this may resolve it. -GH

    @NOWHelpTeam @danfreemanfan That’s nice I tweeted you twice with an issue that resulted after your latest update and you completely ignored me! We can’t all afford full-fat sky which doesn’t mean that you should ignore your NOWTV customers.

    @NOWHelpTeam Not used it today, but was awful during the game last night. Had to reset the TV twice during the first half as the app crashed. Actually missed the first goal. Not the first time it has happened using NowTV for big matches either.
