    That's the trouble with watching the footie on NOWTV while having Twitter open. You get the goal flash well before you see the goal...

    @Cricket_Ali @MikeMartin764 Indeed! Very, very poor from @NOWTV . Short of an embargo being broken, I'm utterly mystified how or why they have got this so very wrong.

  • JoshSwale Joshua Swale (@JoshSwale) reported

    @NOWTV Safari and google chrome on MacBook Pro, getting the same error across both browsers

    @NOWTV why is my picture quality poor despite a 60mbps connection and the fact that I've paid an extra amount for full HD? Is anyone else having issues?

    @NOWTV I've tried it from both firefox and chrome (currently Firefox), don't see an error message. Only full grey screen, see no error message. Sound available.

    @tonyflaig @NOWTV Same problem here, Sky Cinema. We CANCELLED them last month and yet now have another bill from them. ******* disgraceful company. NEVER again. #NOWTV @NOWTV

    @nowtvhelp Yeah, but have you used it... don’t just read from your script. You have heard of Apple right? It is very important to make sure your apps across all Apple operating systems work correctly. (Free trials continue NOWTV can’t get traction)
