    . @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.

  • 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

    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!

  • 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

    @OpenreachHelp Hi, can I drop you guys a PM in regards to what OpenReach are likely to try and do / check to fix my line issues of regular disconnections / speed fluctuations (NowTV/Sky have opened a 2nd engineer ticket with yourselves, I have the reference numbers for the case)

  • theBROOKESEY Ian Brookes (@theBROOKESEY) reported

    @PartyFreckle I dont know what D means but paying for a service should mean there aren't ads but so many have you pay for the service and give ads and bad quality but you can "boost" with more pay looking at you nowtv

  • virginmirth Singalongwithalice.com (@virginmirth) reported

    .@nowtv Isn't it funny when you want to cancel your #NowTV membership, their system doesn't work properly

  • DanjoKaz00ie DanjoKaZooie 🌾⚙️ (@DanjoKaz00ie) reported

    @gavinmuellerphd @Greene_DM HBO is interesting because their model is more "classic" and oriented around IP rights in global markets. We get it through Sky's "NowTV", quite possibly the worst streaming software i've ever used

  • MicNicDhaibheid Michelle McDaid (@MicNicDhaibheid) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Well, your Engineer didn't turn up, completely lied and cancelled the job as he "couldn't get access" and now I have to wait weeks again for another cancellation & pay another huge phone bill to tether my laptop because I have to work remotely👍 @OpenreachHelp Provider is @NOWTV

  • Superkat24 Katherine Reese (@Superkat24) reported

    @NOWTV my internet has been down since yesterday morning. Have you got service issues in the outskirts of Winchester please as it still won't work!

  • abulfazelq abulfz (@abulfazelq) reported

    @NOWTV Your stream is down. Please fix

  • JaTeken JaTeKen (@JaTeken) reported

    @Lil_beths Is she Teesside area cos its completely unusable around here. Got powerful signal booster on this TV, used to get like 160 TV channels plus God knows how many radio but now got about 5 random channels & the rest just break up/feeeze. Using a NowTV stick to get around the issue.

  • subbykatie Katie Dee 💜 (@subbykatie) reported

    My @NOWTV player isn't working on my laptop. Googled it and apparently lots of people are having this issue and Now TV is doing nothing about it. Such poor customer service. Sad.

  • carrie_walsh_ Carrie Walsh (@carrie_walsh_) reported

    @KellyLongLegs @NOWTV I literally stopped paying for the same reason. And ******* awful UI too. Not worth our money!
