  • alext_davies Alex Davies (@alext_davies) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWHelpTeam I finally got through to your unhelpful team. No reason for cancelling my order, no thought for the problems this causes work etc. back to BT great customer service. whatever you’ve done to my broadband now needs an engineer to visit. Don’t go with #NowTV

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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’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.

  • 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

    Anyone else had problems when signing up to broadband with @NOWTV ? Installation date 22nd June. Still nothing🙃

  • ZoeFleur Zoe Foster, MBACP 🇺🇦 (@ZoeFleur) reported

    @nowtv Charged for items I did not agree to. Login unavailable for 3 days so unable to cancel. So have stopped payments instead. Will never use this service again.

  • PhoeniXPhiL PhoeniX PhiL (@PhoeniXPhiL) reported

    Unable to stream #NowTV movies this afternoon? Just keeps hanging after a I select one. Internet and other apps working ok. Anyone else having issues? .@NOWTV_It

  • yorkshire_kk Yorkshire_kk (@yorkshire_kk) reported

    @MickCordukes @_morgan_bruce looked Tosh doesn't have an app obviously haven't paid for it off bt, but if fairly new TV you can cast from a smartphone quick check online will explain, you will need a BT sport membership to login, if using a shared login can only be on 2 devices at once. Will work on NOWTV

  • RyStew00 Ryan Stewart (@RyStew00) reported

    Absolutely awful customer service experience from @NOWTV today. Was a customer with them for a year and changed provided after a 12-month contract only to be hit with non-contractual termination charges. Will be reporting to ombudsman (which will cost them a lot more than £13!)

  • smudger07 Smudger07 (@smudger07) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam unable to view anything on Now TV. Is there any issue currently please? #nowtv

  • phillcollins08 TheOriginalPhillCollins (@phillcollins08) reported

    @virginmedia I shouldn't have to move my room around for a different BB provider. Had no connection or drop out issue with nowTV!

  • Dams70x magic70 (@Dams70x) reported

    @kevinegan3 @NOWTV Same issue

  • LateSaid Stuff said late (@LateSaid) reported

    @anon_opin Probably have a point but it's definitely not the worst. Have you tried watching TV through the Nowtv desktop app!? Click play about 2 days before you actually want to watch the show! Also, iPlayer goes up to 11!

  • kandidan Anton Karidian (@kandidan) reported

    Day and a half outage over the weekend in Hastings, now minimal bandwidth: 20 seconds of streaming, then nothing for minutes. NowTV broadband really stinks at the moment.
