    . @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.

  • 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

    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

  • 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!

  • alicesalisburyj Alice Salisbury (@alicesalisburyj) reported

    @katebevan It's awful. If we start a show on my iPad then move to the kids' it doesn't register we're halfway thru, and I can't login via the TV because my BTVision & NowTV emails are different. The whole thing is designed by someone who doesn't understand how streaming works

  • ZastawnyMarian Marian Zastawny (@ZastawnyMarian) reported

    @NOW I would like to buy nowtv membership but the website does not work and there is nowhere I can find any help. What should I do?

  • elpalomofer Fernanda Paloma 🌳🇨🇱 (@elpalomofer) reported

    @NOWTV my laptop player is not working anymore. I reinstalled it, did not find the funny file that causes trouble. Help!

  • cmarieriley Christina Riley (@cmarieriley) reported

    I don't suppose I have any American friends who would share their login for whatever I can watch Succession on? Or can I change a setting somewhere on NOWTV? Please help.

  • pmg_pgmco PM (@pmg_pgmco) reported

    @NOWTV_It hi no sound on sky news on NowTV, how can I fix this? Tks

  • josviz Jose V (@josviz) reported

    NowTV app implementation is terrible, when casting it's resource heavy on the device casting, on Roku very slow and if swapping viewing devices it forgets that you've stopped watching on the other device. Definitely cancelling when offer finishes/Succession ends.

    @NOWTV hi there’s no sound on sky news @NOWTV how can I fix this? Tks

  • nburdy nburdy🐣🏳️‍🌈 (@nburdy) reported

    New award for worst app ever made: the @NOWTV MacOS app is appallingly bad. Endless Website redirects. Detection of non existent screen recording software. Routing audio only through speakers, not headphones… ****. 💩

  • unfortunatalie Nat Guest (@unfortunatalie) reported

    So - wait, even if I pay money to subscribe to NowTV, the streaming platform with the worst possible UX in the world, I *still* have to watch 30 seconds of adverts before a programme???

  • shanethegooner Shane Ó Dubhuir (@shanethegooner) reported

    @qassim_uk NowTV is literally the worst.
