  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @NOWTV my sky sport mobile pass is not working! It has only ever worked once, please can you help

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @NOWTV help! Brand new now TV purchased. Keeps going on software update loop on initial log in and connection to internet. What do I do ?

  • ThatGuyJ1m Son of Kratos 👑 (@ThatGuyJ1m) reported

    @BenRoyTurner Problem is though we only have the choice of Cinema, pretty certain we can't get HBO in any form over here. So hopefully they work a deal with NowTV for the UK

  • MrsLamontCrafts EleganceAndMemories (@MrsLamontCrafts) reported

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV could you follow me so I can message you about a billing issue please

  • Matthew_Rickard Matthew Rickard (@Matthew_Rickard) reported

    @NOWTV Can't spend my credit on a new pass and their online support is non-existence. Terrible. I have wasted my money on them.

  • mattmee Matthew Mee (@mattmee) reported

    Hi @talktalk - do you have an issue with your DNS. My internet not connecting normally but using VPN it will. Also nowtv can stream. I suppose a router reset will fix - but don't want to!

  • claudiaallenby 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐚 ✨ (@claudiaallenby) reported

    @NOWTV Hi our Now TV always freezes if there’s even a slight problem with WiFi (we have to unplug the TV to get it to unfreeze) how do I refresh the app?? Also today it’s just a black screen with white writing saying “Now TV is currently unavailable” wtf is going on???

  • Scernow Séan Cernow (@Scernow) reported

    @NOWTV why are you taking money off me when I don't use your service anymore? You are charging me for billing help when I cancelled all my subscriptions. I want the money back you have covertly taken out of my account. Either that or I will report you to @BarclaysUK for fraud.

  • lllmlll8 lee-ann maggie (@lllmlll8) reported

    @NOWTV I have bought 2 now tv sticks and both remotes keep freezing. I have tried everything on your website and its not working. Please can this be rectified. I have chucked both receipts so please can you send 2 free ones. Looking at your website dont think im the only one. Ta

  • JontyM4c Jonathan McNally (@JontyM4c) reported

    @NOWTV once I finally got setup - everything going well. Then this week, issues. My Internet starts playing up. I call. I despair....

  • JontyM4c Jonathan McNally (@JontyM4c) reported

    @NOWTV I speak to an individual who assures me the problem is with my router. I try and tell him that there's work taking place downstairs and I reckon it could be that. The guy completely dismisses me and says it's definitely the router.
