    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.

    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

    @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.

    @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.

    @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 ?

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