    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

    @Crazier I can’t help thinking it’s a way of making us pay for viewing like Sky/Nowtv & do away with licence fee
