    . @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."

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • JimFeltham James Feltham (@JimFeltham) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    @NOWTV Was that a penalty? Quality is so terrible I can't tell. #ENGBEL

  • 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.

  • CraigDHoare Craig 🌹 (@CraigDHoare) reported from Birmingham, England

  • CoodDoBettr Could Do Better (@CoodDoBettr) reported

    Recording Fringe Series on @NOWtv, on @bt_uk PVR box @SyfyUK All recent episodes record between 46band 57 minutes (partially recorded), so cannot watch any of them. Could any of you fix this>

  • jpatto42 JP (@jpatto42) reported

    @NOWTV you have taken money and i cancelled my account, you try to cut costs by making customers problem solve and then hope they give up, im sure this metric is encouraged as the silo that the profits sit in from this behaviour is no doubt lucritive. Provide a number?

  • AdamKennethP1 AdamKennethP (@AdamKennethP1) reported

    @NOWTV can you tell me exactly what I'm paying for? Boosted internet and an entrainment package that has to buffer every three minutes?! #NOWTV

  • shawny_O shawn killick (@shawny_O) reported

    @NOWTV part 3 ever gone to my head to pay this bill of almost 80 pounds to just be able to work when I called and asked to pay over 2 weeks ago! Being lied to by your company is something I'm used to by now

  • KitSinclairO Kit Sinclair (@KitSinclairO) reported

    @NOWTV_It I’ve tweeted before- app on LG TV keeps crashing. Then showing ‘unknown page error’. I’ve updated. Don’t have this problem with Netflix or prime. Just NowTV… why?

  • loopysdad Jay G (@loopysdad) reported

    @SteveDoherty1 @SkyUK NowTV passes bought on AppleTV or through iTunes are only usable on Apple device(s) :( You can try & ask Apple to refund but for the price it’s easier to just buy a new pass for the TV - or get a family member to use theirs to login ;)

  • colinwmd Colin W (@colinwmd) reported

    We need a new TV series to slowly binge... I'm sure I had a mental note of some to give a look but have forgotten them. Can't be a Sky series though as I don't have the enthusiasm to sort out our NowTV problems.

  • MinooOsborne Minoo Osborne 😷💉💉 (@MinooOsborne) reported

    @NOW @Sheridansmith1 Why do we need to delete and reinstall NowTV app on Apple TV every other day on the account of screen size either shrinking or expanding! Don’t have a problem with any other app except for NowTV!

  • TidbitsMovie Movie Tidbits (@TidbitsMovie) reported

    NowTV consistently lets me down. Buffering and quality drop outs ALL the time. Service cancelled due to Promising Young Woman being ruined by said issues.

  • BullFrancis Francis Bull (@BullFrancis) reported

    @NOWTV Hi I’m trying to cancel my now tv account but when I log in it does not show my account details or payment details and shows the prices in euros I cannot cancel my payments either on my bank account as it shows as a card payment and not a DD or Standing order please help
