  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Trewball John the Bastard (@Trewball) reported from Salford, England

    @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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    nowtv is actually the worst service out there, so much run around to download the player for it

  • Vinc3timb3 Vinnie (@Vinc3timb3) reported

    Is there an issue with @NOW ? I am trying to stream a show but it says I have reached the maximum number of streaming devices. Which is 2? I have 3 devices where 2 of 3 are not watching anything, so what’s going on? #nowtv #now

  • wookieewanderer Wookiee Wanderer (@wookieewanderer) reported

    @jonnyvstheworld @NOWTV @NOW same problem - and I have Boost so I should be able to have 3 x steams at once - not happy

  • AntarisZX Matthew Abbott (@AntarisZX) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Define 'widespread'. There's about 20 miles between Worthing, Hove and Brighton where multiple people are reporting issues, all at the same time. Surely that warrants a review by your engineering team? #F1 coverage starts soon, and still no Internet for my NowTV access

  • Sannymck80 ❤️#TeamPicksCity❤️ (@Sannymck80) reported

    @shadowskulls19 That’s absolutely rubbish int it you would think to keep you as a customer they would try help my best ever company was NowTv broadband they were £25 for broadband and tv and phone with mobile calls unlimited but I changed to talk talk 🤬thinking it would be better nope lol

  • Joe442Joseph joseph chambers (@Joe442Joseph) reported

  • sexyislandgyal ᴮᴱDanielle 💜⁷ ⟬⟭ ⟭⟬🐋∞ (@sexyislandgyal) reported

    @NOWTV Hello, my Internet is down can you guys fix ASAP. I have work tomorow. Internet going down is unacceptable in these times. Power and Wireless lights are on but not Internet. I've plug unplugged everything to run your test.

  • Tom_Phelan_UK Tom Phelan (@Tom_Phelan_UK) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam #nowtv #wifi doing the same again, cutting out. Thought you'd fixed the issue.

  • jonnyvstheworld Jonny (@jonnyvstheworld) reported

    So even after closing down all devices with @NOWTV on I still get the error saying I'm streaming elsewhere and now missed the start of the F1. Thanks

  • iFluvio Fluvio (@iFluvio) reported

    @EngineMode11 @TomMcCluskey_ It truly is the future imo. Not only do you attract more people. It would also help escape from the god awful players that nowtv, sky etc have. Because YouTube and Twitch for streaming are simply superior.
