    @NOWTV Hi, 2x devices experiencing same issues when watching Man United game on Now TV. Player keeps cutting off and disconnects back to main menu every 10 mins or so. Are you experiencing technical difficulties today?

  • SophieSenior24 Sophie Senior-Stevens (@SophieSenior24) reported

    @NOWTV Done that on both still showing same message of error.

  • Minghowriter Ming Ho (@Minghowriter) reported

    @NOWTV Yes, it's fine if I unplug @NOWTV Smartbox & access Freeview direct thro aerial. Issue is just @LondonLive via your Smartbox.

    @NOWTV @TSScot @CitizensAdvice I feel like it’s something that you really have to look at. It’s a terrible practice to direct people to a more expensive option from the QR code. Just wondering how many people you have duped into paying more with this tactic.

    sucks the subtitles didn't work on @NOWTV though, they were selected and just... nope, nothing

  • _Danny_Ball_ Danny Ball (@_Danny_Ball_) reported

    @NOWTV You need a contact number. Customer service is non existent. Apple TV app is shocking and badly needs updating. You need 4K. Lay out on all platforms is terrible. You try to charge an extra £2.99 for Dolby. You take payments without permission........

    @NOWTV Doesn't really help. I have an entertainment pass through my BT account. I have a cinema pass from before I signed up with BT. Both have different email addresses. How do I add my existing cinema pass to my BT account? Is that even possible? @bt_uk

    @PrimeVideo - you used to be great. Though recently, you’ve lost your touch: you have some great content, but it’s useless if your streaming service & picture quality is unwatchable. Netflix, Youtube, NowTV etc., stream in pin-sharp HD; PrimeVideo: inferior to VHS & stop-start.
