    @NOWTV When attempting a “reset” on my NowTV stick, I am getting beyond the internet password only to be told I need to check my hdmi cable connection. There is no problem with that. Solution please?

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • Nomio1984 Naomi Jewitt (@Nomio1984) reported from Oldham, England

    @NOW Hi, we have a nowtv box (wired wifi connection) and it’s still not working this morning

  • Bleasedog Ian Blease | Dodgers Win! (@Bleasedog) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @NOWTV please could someone get in touch work me? Bought a new stick tonight and keep getting the error "authentication plugin bot downloaded -4" Have tried everything I can find on the website and the bot live chat.

    The worst ******* thing when you’re just starting to watch a show on now tv and they remove it, happens all the ******* time @NOWTV

  • missdawniehick Dawn Hickey (@missdawniehick) reported from Stubbins, England

    Subtitles: I have used many online streaming platforms to waste time during lockdown. @BBCiPlayer @NetflixUK @PrimeVideo @disneyplus @ITV and by far the worst most insaccessible and most unhelpful of them all is @NOWTV @nowtvhelp. The subtitles are incomplete, broken, freezing

  • LubeckRoss lubeck ross (@LubeckRoss) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWTV I have a Problem with my NOWTV App through BT RE: DEVICES I'm unable to watch my Subscription channels Through either my TV or cast from my mobile phone ,This has happened lots of times the last time on Tuesday. I Had a online chat with Nowtv and it took 5 mins to fix.

  • MrsSherrec Mandy Sheridan (@MrsSherrec) reported from Warrington, England

    @NOWTV thanks to your poor quality streaming, I has to watch the last two minutes of the F1 qualifying through a blurry picture

  • JoshHalliday Josh Halliday (@JoshHalliday) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp Please can you urgently fix the buffering issues? Not the first time it’s happened - usually during an England game. Not worth the money we’re paying for this.

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’ve never, ever experienced anything like the service I’ve received with @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp - the sheer lack of customer care and the way my issue has been handled has been so shockingly bad I literally fail to believe a word they tell me.

  • nebskii nebskii 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🐝 (@nebskii) reported from Urmston, England

    The @NOWTV app has stopped working on my @LGUK smartTV, getting error PL-0 whenever I try to play content. Any solution other than resetting the TV to factory settings (NOT doing that as I'll lose my other app data)? Tried reinstalling app, no fix.

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’m not usually this type of person however @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp and @OpenreachHelp screwed me over with my broadband due to an issue with the exchange nearby - but failed to notify me. It’s been almost 3 days since I found out and haven’t had a message from them.

  • antoniapoppy Antonia Lallement (@antoniapoppy) reported from Stockport, England

    Hey @NOWTV what’s your problem? Why do you hate your users? Just play the next bloody episode

  • Trewball John the Bastard (@Trewball) reported from Salford, England

    @jokerdaddy23 if you've not done it already, if you type in NOWTV cinema pass free trial into Google, you can get a 7 day free trial. I'm gonna buy a month pass for £12 anyway hoping it'll help but letting you know there's an option for those who are low on funds etc. #SnyderCut

  • alext_davies Alex Davies (@alext_davies) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWHelpTeam I finally got through to your unhelpful team. No reason for cancelling my order, no thought for the problems this causes work etc. back to BT great customer service. whatever you’ve done to my broadband now needs an engineer to visit. Don’t go with #NowTV

  • yourmancman1 KoM Cazzer (@yourmancman1) reported from Salford, England

  • forzaDane Forza Dane (@forzaDane) reported from Salford, England

    @AldoH35 @BBCiPlayer @NOWTV I have an amazon fire stick in another room and it worked on that. So guess it’s a @NOWTV problem

  • b3ena Beena Mistry (@b3ena) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

  • marv33067105 MARV (@marv33067105) reported

    @NOWTV is there a problem with your website - I cannot manage my account

  • SammyDoDa_ SammyDoDa (@SammyDoDa_) reported

    I do hope you fix this issue on Windows, its been far too long. 2018 was the first report of it, 3 years ago. Yet you've done nothing to fix it, hopefully you actually try soon instead of doing nothing to fix it as it's really ruining my experience of NowTV atm. Disappointed.

  • RebelDimond SUZI 🖤 (@RebelDimond) reported

  • daisyrichens Daisy Richens 💙 (@daisyrichens) reported

    Can @NOWTV use at least some of the revenue from its new forced ads to fix the bloody app? 🥺

  • enya11427314 enya (@enya11427314) reported

    @NOWTV we were told it would definitely work by midnight and not to worry. Midnights been and gone and still no WiFi. Now to be told we have to wait AGAIN for a new engineer, is extremely frustrating. Not a great start now tv
