    @NOWTV i still cannot access my account. Signed up 3 days ago and can't login. Can you help as your help page is terrible and no use at all. You can sign up easily but can't access it, it's a total shambles

    Is this bloody awful picture quality a @NOWTV scam to get you to pay £13 a day for HD?

    Trying to contact @NowTV to enquire about their broadband and honestly it’s the worst. Talking to a Robot does not help.

    I know thoughts aren’t real but sometimes I get stuck in this scenario where I’m explaining to my mum, over the phone, how to work NowTv and I get so scared.

  • DavidPGardner David Gardner (@DavidPGardner) reported

    @bt_uk Hi Alannah. Looks like someone has tried to hack the account and it’s been locked due to many unsuccessful login tries. NOWTV will unlock it within 72 hours. If there’s an issue after that then I will be back in touch.

    @LesMalpas @TalkTalk I was with #Talktalk they are good but constant problems made me switch to #Nowtv never had a problem since they are part of #sky

  • ArtByRayna Rayna Louise 💗💜💙 (@ArtByRayna) reported

    Why is it that NowTV has no problem playing ads but as SOON as the film starts it immediately starts buffering 💀💀💀

    @jongreydavies @WasOnceLoved @NOWTV We had the same thing a while back. The new app is shiny and plays a musical note when opened It is also even harder to use than the old one. The search function is infuriatingly terrible (no voice). We get around this by using the Apple Remote app on an iPhone and typing.

  • Chrisfox1973 Christopher Fox (he/him) (@Chrisfox1973) reported

    @NOWTV why is it that when I watch something on my TV it buffers or says internet connection lost isn’t internet issue or signal strength ! I can watch in exactly the same spot and it’s ok on laptop . going on 4 months now and it’s getting to the point I’m going to can NowTV.

    @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.

  • SampsCaroline Caroline Sampson (@SampsCaroline) reported

    @melindahaunton We're with BT. It's ok. No major problems and we can get discounted passes for NowTV which is useful when your football team is on Sky!

  • LinesideSE LinesideSouthEast (@LinesideSE) reported

    @WasOnceLoved @NOWTV I had the same issues, I was a Sky subscriber but I cannot get a signal anymore so tried now TV. Could not get it to work on the Apple TV app so had to get the dongle in the end.
