  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • antoniapoppy Antonia Lallement (@antoniapoppy) reported from Stockport, England

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

    @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

  • Ruthlisaellis Ruth Farrell (@Ruthlisaellis) reported from Meltham, England

    Seriously fed up of @NOWTV i can't log in on any device or any browser. Constantly saying try later?! Try to get help, nobody to talk to sends me round in circles!

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

    @NOWTV my sky sport mobile pass is not working! It has only ever worked once, please can you help

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    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.

  • 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

  • missdawniehick Dawn Hickey (@missdawniehick) reported from Stubbins, England

    Subtitles: I have used many online streaming platforms to waste time during lockdown. @BBCiPlayer @NetflixUK @PrimeVideo @disneyplus @ITV and by far the worst most insaccessible and most unhelpful of them all is @NOWTV @nowtvhelp. The subtitles are incomplete, broken, freezing

  • 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.

    @NOWHelpTeam now tv has been down for over 24hrs. Nowtv not working, Apps on both tablet and phones not working. I’m now paying for a service I cannot access.

  • TwistedPsyche Twisted Psyche (@TwistedPsyche) reported

    @bglendenning @GNev2 I understand your point, but you do do advertisement spots for NowTV which is a way of watching this paywalled content. So do you have a problem with paywalled content or not?

  • JonGrose94 Jonathon Grose (@JonGrose94) reported

    If anyone else has this problem on NowTV, I found if you exit the app and load it again, it fixes it.

  • MBRL13 Mark. (@MBRL13) reported

    Anyone else using @NOWTV app not able to cast at the minute? Never had an issue before but it just isn't bring up the option to cast. And I can cast from all my other apps.

  • OfficialJshow Rent (@OfficialJshow) reported

    @ConnahDC_ @SavinTheBees Nowtv is awful as well. You’re already paying two subscriptions but the audio is messed up as well. If you listen closely everything is higher pitched. Bruce Wayne sounds like a teenager in some scenes. Really jarring but love the film

  • yourmancman1 KoM Cazzer (@yourmancman1) reported from Salford, England

    Trying to watch prog on @NOWTV_It / any idea why it’s not working ? #nowtv

  • JennyWSport Jennifer Wardle (@JennyWSport) reported

    @GlideStuHelp I can’t access nowtv using your WiFi anymore due to EU roaming restrictions. But I’m in the uk? Any ideas how to fix this?

  • missthunderella Miss Batty In Black (@missthunderella) reported

    @NOWTV my broadband is down in NW6 nothing seems to help

  • MMoxhay Marion Moxhay (@MMoxhay) reported

    @LCrowleyHolland @SkyIreland @NOWTV_It I've just cancelled NOWTV have endless issues with reception at our property. Also not showing the particular series I signed up for.

  • bradday14 Bradley Day (@bradday14) reported

    @NOWTV really letting me down recently with all the freezing lately. Being a minute behind the game is bad enough but just lately it is a joke, and whenever you flag it with them it is just blamed on your own internet connection, which must just choose to not work for now tv only
