    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.

  • ibaird73 Ian Baird (@ibaird73) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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

    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

  • 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.

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    . @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."

  • UnitedRed78 AJM 🔰 (@UnitedRed78) reported

    @DCross_psycho9 In is your sky viewing card number They do this to help Sky identify which viewing card is illegally rebroadcasting online streams and take the appropriate action I have only ever seen it on sky set top boxes (not BT boxes, BT apps or nowtv apps)

  • irish_aris Aris Tsoumis (@irish_aris) reported

    @NOWTV hey guys, FYI, your Play Station app has been unstable the last few days and giving known and unknown error messages. It's not my broadband connection, as it works if I connect to the player on my laptop

  • TalkTalk TalkTalk (@TalkTalk) reported

    @katlove1982 As advised, the issue with the NowTV website would be their issue as we have nothing to do with this Could you let us know what happens when you try to sign up via your TV box? Thanks, Andy

  • LucasMcLeanUK Lucas (@LucasMcLeanUK) reported

    @NOWTV please help me. I cannot access my account! I don’t know why. It’s not accessible since Monday. I pay quite a lot of money for not being able to access the service.

  • G33K_D4D Rob Zabrocky (@G33K_D4D) reported

    @NOWTV windows 10 app keeps crashing, get a pop up saying Something is wrong. This app will now quit. Which as error messages go is somewhat south of useful. can you fix it please? £35 a month to not be able to watch TV is a bit crap
