    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

    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.

    Buyer beware if trying to use @Sony offer of a free NowTV 1 month Sports pass when buying one of their TVs. They fail to tell you if you already have NowTV (Entertainment) via BT you are not eligible to use the offer! Terrible service.

    @NOWTV Okay, but that gold necklace was awful.

    @NOWTV @NOWTVSport @nowtvhelp has to be one of the worst things I’ve come across an utter disgrace and I would advice anybody from using their service!

    . @NOWTV @nowtvhelp any idea on how to stop the intermittent blue screen when playing back any on demand video or TV channels? Got an older now TV smart box. It's wired connection into a 300mbps virgin media hub so no issues.on playback speed.

    @NOWTV I’ve taken the day of work no engineer call appointment was 8am Till 1pm no movement on tracker since sent at 7am not happy what away to start my new contract

  • garysteven77 GS (@garysteven77) reported

    @NOWTV I have spoken to Royal Mail so know what the issue is but @NOWTV chose to be in denial / would rather have someone be without internet and unable to work from home than pay the cost of posting a new box.

  • ShiftyGB Alex Scott (@ShiftyGB) reported

    @nowtvhelp Thank you, to confirm my neighbour to my left (# 9) has BT, no issues but I believe my neighbour at # 8 has NowTV (can find on wifi) and there’s seems to be up? My dad is Jim (account owner) so please update me as soon as possible. Reseat our cable at the exchange may fix this?

  • Michellejames66 Angel James (@Michellejames66) reported

    @NOWTV I'M trying to see if you serve my area with Broadband but its not working.

  • GridMediaUK Grid Media (@GridMediaUK) reported

    The incompetence of @NowTV to resolve a simple account "Locked" issue is just beyond words.

  • BigJimMills Jay (@BigJimMills) reported

    @NOWTV Yeah, I know you need the player. It’s the worst user experience ever lol. I’m saying nobody else does that and you should have playback in the browser.
