    @SkySportsF1 @NOWTV can sort out the intermittent sound issues with the transmission for the F1 please!?! It's annoying

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    . @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

    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

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

  • mabmab71 Mark (@mabmab71) reported

    Watching #TheVow on @NOWTV it's basically just gullible, self indulgent, middle-class, white, Americans who've read to many self-help books. I can't believe they fell for the bullsh*t.

  • bigandy68 Andy68 (@bigandy68) reported

    @NOWTV I can't get anyone on chat there isn't a solution for my problem, I can log in on phone but not on the box

  • bigandy68 Andy68 (@bigandy68) reported

    @NOWTV I can sign in on the phone but not the now tv box and the chat box is of no use

  • CraigWiIIiams Craig Williams (@CraigWiIIiams) reported

    @NOWTV very regularly on a now TV stick I get booted out of what I’m watching back to the home screen. And when it happens once it will then happen every 10 minutes for the rest of the day. No error code. Any idea why?

  • comprenne Me (@comprenne) reported

    @NOWTV Online chat doesn't seem to be working. Is this a known problem?
