  • Saintbarca Steve Fraser (@Saintbarca) reported from Birkenhead, England

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

  • Japes21 Jean-Paul (@Japes21) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @NOWTV trying to watch the NFL on @skysports but the constant buffering and error messages on my BT Box AND NOWTV box make it impossible! When will this be sorted? Very frustrating !! 😡😡😡

  • 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

    When @NOWTV freezes, no buttons on the controller will work, unless you press "Sky Store"... Then it comes to life. Because God forbid you're not able to spend...

  • RachelHad2 🎢👠Rachel Hadley🎢👠 (She/Her) (@RachelHad2) reported from Perton, England

    @SkySportsF1 @NOWTV can sort out the intermittent sound issues with the transmission for the F1 please!?! It's annoying

  • RyanUK90 UKRyan (@RyanUK90) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Worst broadband support going! Good thing that @OpenreachHelp's actual engineers don't dismiss issues like you have numerous times. I had a great laugh with a different engineer over NowTV's dumb claim that wifi lights could be using all the bandwidth causing the disconnections.

  • Bada_b_man Thomas Buchanan (@Bada_b_man) reported

    @NOW need some help from a human being. A staff member of nowtv. Other than your 30p a minute phone line how can we get the help?

  • josviz Jose V (@josviz) reported

    NowTV app implementation is terrible, when casting it's resource heavy on the device casting, on Roku very slow and if swapping viewing devices it forgets that you've stopped watching on the other device. Definitely cancelling when offer finishes/Succession ends.

  • crd37 Chris Davies (@crd37) reported

    There’s an irony to watching last week’s episode of Succession - featuring a whole thing on how awful old media platforms streaming services are - on the creaking, buffering, pixelating NowTV player…

  • altweetsstuff Al (@altweetsstuff) reported

    Anyone got NowTv?! If you have look on peacock or any other on-demand to see if can play anything. Mine keeps telling me there's a error

  • katebevan It's Katemas Time (@katebevan) reported

    oh for actual effing sake: the latest version of the NowTV app isn't compatible with a Chromebook. And you can't watch in the browser. It is by some distance the very worst streaming experience

  • AaronKane1 Aaron Kane (@AaronKane1) reported

    Poor streaming quality on @NOWTV should equate to a discounted price! So frustrating 😫

  • sjholland87 Scott (@sjholland87) reported

    @Mr_Marty Are you using nowtv for it? Pain in the arse when it's out of sync. I get it through the bt box using now and it's terrible if my internet drops for a second.
