    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @jammylubbe @NOWTV Apparently it was everyone’s broadband that was the problem. Just been speaking to their so called help

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • jxnluc 🤓 (@jxnluc) reported from Middleton, England

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

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

  • SteveJmzF1 Steve 🏁 (@SteveJmzF1) reported

    Incredible that I can watch hours of Netflix/Twitch on my internet with no issue but NowTV has buffered and forced me to restart every 5-10 minutes during the #F1 @NOWHelpTeam

  • KayrieTrix Kayrie Trix (@KayrieTrix) reported

    @SkySportsF1 Nowtv is not working. I need to see the race. Can someone do something.

  • Chocolate_Pages Amanda. (@Chocolate_Pages) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Do you have a phone number or email to make a complaint about quality of streaming. I bought a day pass specifically for a massive Old Firm game and the quality was so bad I ended up missing the goals! #UnhappyCystomer #NowTV

  • CharlieLards Andrew Read (@CharlieLards) reported from Marks Tey, England

    @NOWHelpTeam Suprise, surprise another day, race day, and still the same buffering issues! #nowtv you take our money now supply the service! I followed your advice yesterday and this is still happening! #NOWHelpTeam #nowtv

  • TobyGodfrey1 Toby Godfrey (@TobyGodfrey1) reported

    @NordVPN Any information on NowTv, currently not working at all?

  • frankrafferty frankrafferty (@frankrafferty) reported

    @Celtic1967_com I'm actually happy that I've spent over an hour demanding a refund for a NowTv day sports pass that didn't work. Otherwise I could've been watching that shitshow of a game. A good team ruined by **** mgmt, **** board, **** recruitment.

  • DavidWaywell David Waywell (@DavidWaywell) reported

    Oh, great. Match might be abandoned and after I'd gone to such great lengths to keep the time clear of carers and after I'd activated the damn NowTV ticket... Pretty much had it with football this year. Gary Neville can piss off too with his awful & hypocritical takes.

  • ToG Mr T 💪🏼 (@ToG) reported

    @nowtv are you having (yet more) issues? Our stream of th F1 channel keeps stopping on our Chromecast?

  • GlobalRanger Global Ranger (@GlobalRanger) reported

    @DavidDesu @NOWTV @nowtv Is currently unusable on PS4 and in my case unrecoverable when it buffers every 10min! Video streaming is not rocket science......unless you pay for internet Sky Sports. Subscription will be cancelled shortly!
