    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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • twigsays Phil Graham (@twigsays) reported

    Hey customer, since you're already paying a tenner a month, why not upgrade for an extra £3 so you don't get **** streaming quality and the ads we suddenly decided to start throwing at you without warning every 15 minutes? Screw you @NOWTV I'm done.

  • beautifreax Pale in Comparison (@beautifreax) reported

    @NOWTV Hey, trying to get a membership going but when I changed my payment method (and I can see a £1 charge went through) it keeps telling me there is a processing error. Can you help?

  • markincw MarkincwV (@markincw) reported

    @StuartWaite6 @flying_satsuma @SkyHelpTeam Disconnect go on nowtv and rejoin for discounts is the only way to make it work, pricing for existing customers is common thievery

  • Drogba2001Ogba ogba (@Drogba2001Ogba) reported

    @NOWTV Hello. My Internet keeps fluctuating, which can be very frustrating when trying to watch movie or do some work online. Please kindly help resolve this. Thanks

  • Dawn12699828 Dawn (@Dawn12699828) reported

    @NormanBrennan Luckily I don’t have mainstream tv so don’t have to watch news and scaremongering of the press about everything , just plonk myself in front of tv for a couple of hours once I’m home from work , cooked tea, fed the dog, eaten tea and watch Netflix or nowtv and then bed.

  • KavanaghCk Catherine Kavanagh (@KavanaghCk) reported

    @gctsby This is the one I've gone with. As I said, the NowTV option doesn't work for me. I'm impressed at how easy they've made it and how realistic they are about aggregating it to 1 channel on a 31 day roll basis. These people know this "Tour" won't go the distance.

  • JoeHarris1995 Joe Harris (@JoeHarris1995) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam is there an issue currently in the Balham Area? We have not been getting WiFi from our nowTV box for 3 hrs?

  • MrAdamR Mr Adam R (@MrAdamR) reported

    Which streaming service has the worst user interface and why is it NOWTV?

  • moonzafi Alice (@moonzafi) reported

    My stepdad is trying to fix my nowtv thing and my cat is just staring at him 😭

  • MinooOsborne Minoo Osborne 😷💉💉 (@MinooOsborne) reported

    @NOW @Sheridansmith1 Why do we need to delete and reinstall NowTV app on Apple TV every other day on the account of screen size either shrinking or expanding! Don’t have a problem with any other app except for NowTV!
