    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

  • _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."

  • 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.

    @BBCWatchdog please help me with #nowtv taking payments monthly despite my regular contact to say I've not used them for #years @NatWest_Help have not helped again despite begging for support @financialombuds

  • frankmcdonald FM-Rad1o (@frankmcdonald) reported

    @JustWatch any chance you can fix the @NOW app access on the firestick version? Seems that it's looking for NowTV or Now Cinema when it should just be Now.

  • coz81 coz81 (@coz81) reported

    @NOWTV can you please fix your laptop app, it never loads properly on the separate video player we have to dl. I miss half of the sports I want to watch because of it and makes my sports pass obsolete. Its very outdated and never works

  • CAdamMartin 🌈 🔶christian martin 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@CAdamMartin) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam None of that makes a difference - I am connected by LAN I have 78mbps WiFi speeds - it is not a buffering issue it is your streaming system - no other streamer does it! No quality drop out, blurring of image on any other streamer JUST nowtv

  • suedowman Sue Dowman (@suedowman) reported

    Why is @all4 not working on @NOWTV ?

  • emmak2015 Emma Kirk (@emmak2015) reported

    @itvhub @ITVX Trying to watch todays This Morning on my phone, but get an error message saying it is unavailable. I don't get this message with Lorraine or Loose Women. Gladly I have NowTV on my TV that does ITV Hub and it seems to work on that.

  • dodgydoggie Dodgy Dog (@dodgydoggie) reported

    @NOWTV you have the worst service in the world. Picking up Dodger's poo is a vastly more pleasant experience than dealing w u.

  • FilmLandEmpire FilmLand Empire (@FilmLandEmpire) reported

    @D_W_Mault I watched and loved the first episode but had accessed it via, erm, something and it didn’t work after that. Just seen it’s on NowTv, I’m going to start again!

  • CAdamMartin 🌈 🔶christian martin 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@CAdamMartin) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam it shows membership from today and not when it currently ends on 11th December so not going to bother with offer or NOWtv by the way the boost option never works I’ve had dreadful quality and funnily no other streamer has quality issues so don’t blame my internet speed!

    @rawlimark @All4 What device are you using? All4 is a nightmare with both my NowTV and fire stick but have no issues at all going directly through the TV app.
