    @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

    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.

  • 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

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • LubeckRoss lubeck ross (@LubeckRoss) reported from Manchester, England

    @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.

  • 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.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @NOWTV When attempting a “reset” on my NowTV stick, I am getting beyond the internet password only to be told I need to check my hdmi cable connection. There is no problem with that. Solution please?

  • nebskii nebskii 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🐝 (@nebskii) reported from Urmston, England

    The @NOWTV app has stopped working on my @LGUK smartTV, getting error PL-0 whenever I try to play content. Any solution other than resetting the TV to factory settings (NOT doing that as I'll lose my other app data)? Tried reinstalling app, no fix.

    @NOWTV hi im having trouble with my broadband, its running very slow. Can you help please?

  • OrdinandBright Scott Bright (@OrdinandBright) reported

    @alleshallbewele @NOWTV We used to have Sky fibre broadband...every night it would cut out which then caused issues for our heating, cctv and alarm (couldn’t access them!). So we ditched Sky as soon as we could. Currently with TalkTalk and have had no problems.

  • lorcancan lorcan (@lorcancan) reported

    @nowtvhelp Hi - your live chat isn't helping at all. NowTV on my ps5 appears to be locked at 25fps rather than 50fps. I have paid for boost so it shouldn't be an issue. Is it a known issue?

  • m1ck3yB3 MicKey B (@m1ck3yB3) reported

    @NOWTV once you get nowtv what are the different ways to access on smart TV? is there an app on certain TV appstore? If we can't access the app, is there a Web login to use as alternative? Just checking my TV is compatible

  • IAmDamonUK Damon (@IAmDamonUK) reported

    @NOWTV Now TV box, LG TV, Windows 10 PC and Macbook all not working

  • Tachyon0011 Tachyon0011 (@Tachyon0011) reported

    @BournatEllena @nowtvhelp @NOWTV Nowtv is far too rigid. Nowtv customers are still complaining about the the last nowtv update that removed the seperate Nowtv app. They call the new UI garbage lol. Nowtv could have done more to help its customers through the pandemic lockdown. Nowtv has done the opposite.

  • mikeofwales Michael J. (@mikeofwales) reported

    @nowtvhelp Turned my nowtv off today.. inability to reply to my issue after failing to reply back to my email 4 days ago.

  • james_lewisss James Lewis (@james_lewisss) reported

    @Oxford_Life @AmazonHelp Ennit, their default response of “please go through these troubleshooting steps” is actually insulting. Sort your **** streams out! Picture quality is terrible too, the close-up shots are so grainy, it constantly glitches. Don’t have a single issue like this on NowTV

  • Juliedwi_ Julie p (@Juliedwi_) reported

    @nowtvhelp hi I keep getting a message “we are sorry NowTV is no longer supported on this device . I have tried to get it to work several times . Can you help please ?

  • reece_hrs 𝙍𝙚𝙚𝙘𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙨 (@reece_hrs) reported

    Its the season to create a new NowTV login to get the free trial, watch Harry Potter and not renew it
