  • 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.

  • 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

  • _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

    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.

    Hi @NOW we watched episodes 1+2 of Clarice last night. Today can't find it on the STB (YouView) or on the NowTV app. There was no indication of imminent expiry on either STB or app yesterday. Does your app have a problem, or have you just removed it with no notice?

  • jermain245 Jermain (@jermain245) reported

    @NOWTV can you tell me why despite cancelling my subscriptions I keep getting charged? Website isn’t helpful and not clear as to how to call to fix this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @nsbeddoes_music Thanks Neil, what device do you use to watch NowTV on? And do you have the same issue when you watch on another device? -GH

  • sim_poy Simon Poynting (@sim_poy) reported

    No #NowTV broadband service for over a week. Openreach engineer says line OK, been sent a new modem, obviously a problem #Sky should sort out, got to wait till Tuesday for another BT engineer to come and say there's nothing wrong. Stuck in a loop.

  • jordanmcgowan95 Jordan (@jordanmcgowan95) reported

    Ano I use nowtv so not everyone the same but every time I’ve put on the darts it’s been jumping like **** as if it’s fast forwarding to catch up on throw. No other channel does it just when the darts is on. Anyone else got this problem 🤯

  • FranklyWrites Katherine Franklin (@FranklyWrites) reported

    Honestly, NowTV shows you ads even after you pay them, and their subtitles don't even work for half the lines. What's the point?

  • JebusMcMuffin Fuecoco McMuffin (@JebusMcMuffin) reported

    @L3wdOwl I agree, the constant spam is the reason so many people use ad blockers for browsers and apps. Especially on a service you're paying for. It's why I have a problem with the current NowTV subscription model too.

  • JennyPreston13 Jenny Preston (@JennyPreston13) reported

    @NOWTV terrible customer service - being told that they trust me enough to give me an email address, as they can't find my payment. Trying to cancel membership as not clear what I was signing up to. #trustnotrust

  • Kit__Kate Kate Brazier (@Kit__Kate) reported

    @NOWTV broadband appears to be down in GU24. Virtually no mobile signal here so can't access website. Please advise fix time.

  • Jon_the_Deacon Deacon Jon (@Jon_the_Deacon) reported

    So apparently I cannot purchase the Cinema pack on NOWtv because my card will not work because NOW demands a house number. We only have house names in our village and when I select my address from the drop down it leaves the house number blank @NOWHelpTeam
