    @NOWTV It happens at Christmas. Everyone in the movie is aware it's Christmas. NOWTV says it's a Christmas movie along with half of everyone that watches it. So the real question is, why is he so angry? Did Bruce get in trouble for forgetting Christmas that one time?

    Watched both games tonight on Prime and gotta say the UHD picture is crisp 👌🏼 no buffering/quality issues at all. Puts NOWtv to shame, charging £3 extra for a HD stream, fecking HD! 🙄

    @BournatEllena @nowtvhelp @NOWTV Nowtv is far too rigid. Nowtv customers are still complaining about the the last nowtv update that removed the seperate Nowtv app. They call the new UI garbage lol. Nowtv could have done more to help its customers through the pandemic lockdown. Nowtv has done the opposite.
