    . @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

  • 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.

    @NOWHelpTeam @NOWHelpTeam it also doesn't appear to be fraudulent so I don't want to go through my bank. I would prefer someone at NOWTV, where the issue lies, to take a look at why this happening, refund me, and stop it happening again.

    Good to hear @jamescdyer on @PilotTVPod slamming @nowtv for their terrible screener service. Thing is it’s exactly the same for paying subscribers which is why it’s the only screening service I cancel when their trial £1.99/month offers run out. It’s like they just can’t be arsed

  • jamesoneill James O'Neill (@jamesoneill) reported

    @NOWTV are you getting reports of your Xbox app being very, very flaky of ? Stalling and dropping out with Error PL-0. No problems on my PC. The F1 used to be delayed by 30-45 secs, that's reduced, but the reliability has gone with it.

  • fuzz30 fuzz (@fuzz30) reported

    @NOWTV man arrived a few weeks ago neighbour let him and he did zero work to sort my broadband out ive not heard from anyone to get this sorted Asap!!

  • Pankaj16789 Pankaj Gupta (@Pankaj16789) reported from London, England

    @NOWTV @NOWTV_It please help to get this fix.

  • Molliesemple Moll (@Molliesemple) reported

    Lol at my beef with NowTV but why are they telling me to pay even more so I don’t have to have adverts when literally no other streaming service do this and also their user interface is awful!!!!

  • andrewfordlyons ಠ_ಠ (@andrewfordlyons) reported

    Wow, @NOWTV is the worst. It's a user experience that makes a case for torrenting.

  • adhwitham Tony Witham (@adhwitham) reported

    @cehwitham @BBCiPlayer @NOWTV I can't seem to get My5 to work at all.

  • AmbForgottenImp Amber Shorrock (@AmbForgottenImp) reported

    @amazon I have to say that as a regular prime subscriber I am not happy with the quality playback of your video service. It's not our devices/cables or the internet as Netflix/Disney/nowtv/YouTube work fine. Please fix your service for streaming.

    @TalkTalk Hey, I have some problems with some of the apps to nowtv, ITV, more4 where I get through to seeing ads etc but never to the programme. It always says somethings not right. TV issue only.
