    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.

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

  • 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.

    @NOWTV I have a Problem with my NOWTV App through BT RE: DEVICES I'm unable to watch my Subscription channels Through either my TV or cast from my mobile phone ,This has happened lots of times the last time on Tuesday. I Had a online chat with Nowtv and it took 5 mins to fix.

  • 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!

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • TheSambizzle Sam Golding (@TheSambizzle) reported

    @NelsonAK13 @toryboypierce @BBCOne I pay for basic sky package, still have to watch ads despite paying for it. I have an occasional NowTV movies subscription. Have to watch ads before films. Both work out significantly more than licence fee with less original shows. with no public service remit.

  • placesIlove alex forsey (@placesIlove) reported

    @NOWTV why can't i play audio through bluetooth?? I see this has been an issue with Now TV player for years. Why has this not been addressed????

  • inmaterichard Richard C Law (@inmaterichard) reported

    @NOW I have to restart my Apple TV each time I use the NowTV app, otherwise it doesn’t work, is there a fix coming?

  • PositiveLad Tom PositiveLad (@PositiveLad) reported

    Watching RuPaul’s #TheBitchWhoStoleChristmas on NowTV. It’s possibly one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. Ru green-screened into all her scenes. Lipsyncing completely off. Acting that wouldn’t even pass on Grindr. Honestly it’s so bad it’s good, but goes back into bad again.

  • S_Carden Siún Carden (@S_Carden) reported

    @seanbgoneill Roll up, roll up, watch Roman Roy take the piss out of Waystar’s unusable streaming platform. Available only on NowTV

  • theJEG James Guest (@theJEG) reported

    Imo @NOWTV has the worst UX of any app I've ever used. Opening a browser to open an electron app. It's just a horrendous idea. Why it felt it had to be different to every other streaming app is a mystery.

  • CeriSian Muppet Christmas Ceri 🦂 (@CeriSian) reported from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Leinster

    Treated myself to Sky cinema for a month while I’m here on my Tod over Christmas. Please send me film Recs before I can’t afford the subscription fee cause I work in music 👍🏻 #skycinema #nowtv #film

  • uk_birdy Birdy (@uk_birdy) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Hi. Twitter says "NOWHelpTeam can't be messaged" ? Problem > Trying to log into NowTV account > forgot password > your email to me to change password never arrives. Made several attempts. Please advise by DM why? Thank you.

  • spikedthenukes 💀Michy Lou (Quarantine Life) (@spikedthenukes) reported

    @MattXnVHat I've not watched Eternals yet, I always wait until it's on the Nowtv box. I know, watched the last one today. That's awful. My Mum just tested positive for covid. She's been coughing for the last few days. So Christmas is cancelled, we're in quarantine.

  • PanaMarkides Pana Markides (@PanaMarkides) reported

    Real fan of paying £33+3 per month for @NowTV sports pass, over and above Sky broadband, only for it all to crash on kick off.
