    @NOWHelpTeam Hi, I’m sick of calling over and over again. I would advise most people to not choose nowtv my sisters are on virgin and never an issue.

  • SarahWa65641008 Sarah Walters (@SarahWa65641008) reported

    @NOWTV I need to cancel an old subscription but I can’t remember any of my login details or what email I used. How do I cancel this please?

    2/ In answering a previous NowTV question about concerns the health code was used to ground protesters in Henan, Lee warned against 'stirring trouble.'

    @NOWTV, please can you add short-code sign in to your TV apps? 😬 Having to type an email and a 30+ character password using a TV remote (because the app doesn't support Roku's app pasting) is such a pain. Would be great if you could add this feature!

  • eg_emmie Kintsugemmie (@eg_emmie) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam can you please fix your ad service, sick of seeing errors now. Left a show yesterday as unable to load video, tried to watch again tonight, nowtv says no! Logged out and back in, nowtv still says no!

    @NOW_Ireland is there any issue with the NowTV stick (Roku) the last 24hours?

  • stevengranville Steven Granville (@stevengranville) reported

    @NOWTV_It @SkySportsNews @F1 Does anyone else think that compared to Netflix and Prime, NowTV has unwatchable quality streams? Can’t read text on GP. They need more bandwidth.

  • Britonomist Reginald Glenn ♨️ (@Britonomist) reported

    @vanillatary NowTV is by far the worst.

  • Noelinho Noelinho (@Noelinho) reported

    @JohnRic60842106 @NOWTV Hi. I have the same question. Search doesn’t work either. For instance, I have no ability to access IndyCar on demand. Why have you removed this feature, which we pay for? This service is useless if we can’t find and watch content.

    @VirginMediaIE @NOWTV your app is ******* dogshit terrible. Stream cuts out every 5 minutes and then I have to watch the same poxy adverts every time it returns.
