    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Nomio1984 Naomi Jewitt (@Nomio1984) reported from Oldham, England

    @NOW Hi, we have a nowtv box (wired wifi connection) and it’s still not working this morning

  • 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

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

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

  • stevecooke__ Steve (@stevecooke__) reported

    @Top_CashBack I have transactions for NowTV dating back to March which haven’t reached payable. I can’t submit a ticket for these as it says I haven’t had any transactions with them. Can you help?

  • gaffer9671 Gazz (@gaffer9671) reported

    What a ******* joke paid £10 to @NOWTV to watch Cardiff v bristol city got forest v Derby on two channels but you say press Red button for Cardiff v bristol city witch doesn't work just don't get it you showing the same game on two channels 🙄

  • gnome_196883 evil_gnome 🍄 (@gnome_196883) reported

    @snooglesilky Either NordVPN or Express VPN. They both offer good connections, decent speed & works very well with BBC, ITV, Channel4, Amazon, Eurosport.. If u watch NOWTV, go for Express VPN, that's the only VPN that works with its player. DON'T go for PureVPN. Half of these sites don't work.

  • flurdy Ivar Abrahamsen (@flurdy) reported

    Granted the Sky Sports Mobile TV app was awful, buggy & outdated but the 600% price increase for NowTV does not even include the ability to watch in a browser 😠

  • Jamie_Sense Jamie (@Jamie_Sense) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam You do realise your NOWTV app on firestick is talking ages to go from sd to hd since update dont you? Old versions work properly.

  • hobbo24 Tanya Farrell (@hobbo24) reported

    @NOWTV how do talk to someone? Need boost to watch on chromecast. Can't find how to do that. No help online.

  • Shorehamnick 🇪🇺 🅽🅸🅲🅺 🇪🇺 🚊🚂 (@Shorehamnick) reported

    @NOWTV can you explain why you take forever to unlock my account, which you’ve not even told me why it’s locked, a service you are still charging me for and don’t even offer telephone help line

  • robinnicolson robin nicolson (@robinnicolson) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam I have eventually managed to fix the problem myself thanks. Unfortunately the current version of the NowTV app seems to be buggy on Apple TV.
