    @NOWHelpTeam I'm trying to enter a movie nights in code into the skystore app on nowtv and the app won't open. Keep getting 0003 error saying try later. Have restarted the nowtv stick twice including unplugging it.

    @4Viewers @TealCartoons Sorry to barge in but the only problem I've had is that it struggles to remember which episode of a series I'm up to. e.g. I have to start episode five for a few seconds to make it realise I've watched episode four. My device is a recent NowTV box.

    @SkyHelpTeam is there an issue currently in the Balham Area? We have not been getting WiFi from our nowTV box for 3 hrs?

    Ah lovely. First @nowtv release an utterly terrible and barely usable Apple TV app, then they whack up the monthly price, and now they’ve added ads to seemingly everything I watch. Wow you really do want me to cancel, don’t you? Hey @disneyplus you don’t have ads, right?

  • MinooOsborne Minoo Osborne 😷💉💉 (@MinooOsborne) reported

    @NOW @Sheridansmith1 Why do we need to delete and reinstall NowTV app on Apple TV every other day on the account of screen size either shrinking or expanding! Don’t have a problem with any other app except for NowTV!

  • RhianBaxter Rhian Ferguson (@RhianBaxter) reported

    @NOWTV no broadband connection since 3 pm today. Unacceptable when trying to work from home. Customer update please.

  • TidbitsMovie Movie Tidbits (@TidbitsMovie) reported

    NowTV consistently lets me down. Buffering and quality drop outs ALL the time. Service cancelled due to Promising Young Woman being ruined by said issues.

    @BritBox_UK I just signed up with BritBox. I don't understand how I am supposed to watch it on on my TV when there is no app for Xbox, PS4 or the NowTV box. No other streaming service has this problem and I shouldn't have to buy new hardware specifically for this sub. Wil probs cancel my sub

  • KavanaghCk Catherine Kavanagh (@KavanaghCk) reported

    @gctsby This is the one I've gone with. As I said, the NowTV option doesn't work for me. I'm impressed at how easy they've made it and how realistic they are about aggregating it to 1 channel on a 31 day roll basis. These people know this "Tour" won't go the distance.

  • CoodDoBettr Could Do Better (@CoodDoBettr) reported

    Recording Fringe Series on @NOWtv, on @bt_uk PVR box @SyfyUK All recent episodes record between 46band 57 minutes (partially recorded), so cannot watch any of them. Could any of you fix this>

  • twigsays Phil Graham (@twigsays) reported

    Hey customer, since you're already paying a tenner a month, why not upgrade for an extra £3 so you don't get **** streaming quality and the ads we suddenly decided to start throwing at you without warning every 15 minutes? Screw you @NOWTV I'm done.
