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

    @MeganWi1 May not help but it is on Sky/NowTV!

  • 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

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

    @NOW Would watch it but the quality on the NowTV player is utterly appauling and has been, looking at your community pages, for years.

  • BFujer birgit fujer 💙 (@BFujer) reported

    @JRiH2020 We're with NowTV. It's about £18.00 a month for landline and broadband. In two years we had one outage, but this was sorted quickly.

  • notdiablosrsly Ryan (@notdiablosrsly) reported

    all I want to do is watch F1 @nowtv why do you have account issues now of all times, can't watch anything, can't see billing, this is the 2nd time it's happened too.

  • markfendley Mark Fendley (@markfendley) reported

    NowTV support trying to get me to install Internet Explorer on my Mac and iPhone to get their player to work. Can anyone spot the problem there? When it ran on AppleTV through iTunes billing it worked brilliantly. NowTV app not working on Mac or iPhone.

  • coferdinkt 🦉 (@coferdinkt) reported

    @DavidBoink Yeah, would be better not to pay for Virgin as then I could subscribe to some service like Netflix or Amazon prime or even NowTV which I don’t have. Only the fact that I need internet 7 days a week at the mo for work & the hassle of changing stops me!

  • TheHoggy Hoggy (@TheHoggy) reported

    Does anyone else normally buy a sky sports day pass on NowTV? Option has disappeared, anyone else having same issue?

  • ItsJustMeDottie Dottie (@ItsJustMeDottie) reported

    Anyone else just have problems with NowTv for F1 🤨

  • pavanvaghela_ Pavan Vaghela (@pavanvaghela_) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam When I get to my NOWTV sign in screen I am getting 'Unable to connect to sign in, please try again later' please could I have some assistance

  • rruk01 Rich 🇬🇧🇵🇹🏳️‍🌈 🐻👬 (@rruk01) reported

    When will this be fixed so I know whether to cancel my various NowTV subscriptions no point in me paying for a service I cannot use? All my other subscription apps like Netflix work just fine!

  • MarkLevyArt Mark Levy (@MarkLevyArt) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam I can confirm NowTV doesn’t work on the new AppleTv4k 2021 (A2169) also. Please fix ASAP.
