  • urakdemir Ugur Akdemir ↻ (@urakdemir) reported from Richmond, England

    @NOWHelpTeam Apple TV app doesn’t stream anything since yesterday. I tried reset, reboot, restart and reinstall, but it didn’t help. Is this a known issue? #nowtv

  • NikkiDarke Nikki Darke 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈 (@NikkiDarke) reported from Paddington, England

    @nowtvhelp 9.4.3 build 4079-56 This one is the worst one. They are all the same stick so I guess the same software version. Only happens when watching things through NowTV not any other apps.

  • orla_barry Orla Barry (@orla_barry) reported from London, England

    @nowtvhelp Its still down. I don’t have either Nowtv stick or chromecast? So what’s the issue?

  • jonplatt89 Jon Platt (@jonplatt89) reported from Hillingdon, England

    Can you watch Sky Sports Cricket Red Button on NowTV? Can't work out it i'm just being dumb.

  • aaron_jolley Aaron Conor Jolley (@aaron_jolley) reported from Kensington, England

    @NOWHelpTeam is once again glitchy. I purchased this service to watch the @lionsofficial tour and I have yet to watch a game in focus. It’s a blurry mess, I have done all your trouble shooting and it’s clear that your service is just not good 👎👎 #nowtv

  • MattX1971 Matt (@MattX1971) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @NOWTV Yes they said there was no known issues when as clear as day there was. And yes, when I attempted to start watching the game i could login but not stream it. You can see by the screen shot I sent loads of people had problems.

  • iwitteronandon Eugene Lynch he/him #BLM 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇪🇬🇧 (@iwitteronandon) reported from Poplar, England

    @jongreydavies @WasOnceLoved @NOWTV We had the same thing a while back. The new app is shiny and plays a musical note when opened It is also even harder to use than the old one. The search function is infuriatingly terrible (no voice). We get around this by using the Apple Remote app on an iPhone and typing.

  • Doryan_Grey S (@Doryan_Grey) reported from Croydon, England

    **** @NOWTV Every month for last 1.5 years, they turn my internet off because payment system broken. Lost three weeks of income because they ****** up line upgrade. Now I cancelled my contract per Nov. 8th and they turned it off over a week early. The ******* incompetence.

  • aaron_jolley Aaron Conor Jolley (@aaron_jolley) reported from Kensington, England

    @NOW is the worst service I have had ever. I live in zone 1 central London and I purchased it for @lionsofficial tour. I have yet to watch a game in the crystal clear view I had hoped for. 👎👎👎🤬 #nowtv and yes I have done all your troubleshooting, and it’s still ****

  • Jfenton66 Johnfenton (@Jfenton66) reported from Croydon, England

    Has anyone else had problems with Vodafone over their cancellation of nowtv from the entertainment package, won’t alter my contract and won’t even get a manager to call me to discuss, worst customer care service I have ever encountered

  • christteach Christopher Townsend (@christteach) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @NOWTV You have just told me over the phone that the wifi connection is not your responsibility and because I am not a commercial customer it is not your problem if I cannot use your internet connection to teach. This will work well when I cannot teach from home next week.

  • juicyjamieson Bee Thalia 🐝🏍️🏊🏼🏖️☠️ (@juicyjamieson) reported from London, England

    @NOWTV Did you not notice the screenshot of live chat NOT WORKING

  • mum2tyler09 Emma O’sullivan (@mum2tyler09) reported from Islington, England

    @NurseEmilyE @NOWTV It’s the worst possible time for it to go down when we’ve got live lessons tomorrow

  • jackaarondavies Jack Davies (@jackaarondavies) reported from Merton, England

    @NOWTV You guys have the best content, but the worst / most unstable interface of all streaming services! Please sort it out for the love of god 😩

  • josephnoble70 Joseph Noble (@josephnoble70) reported from West Molesey, England

    @NOWTV what's going on? #NowTV player takes ages to load, then crashes! Error code 20001 - will #cancel if it's not sorted

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris KEEP YOUR MASK ON Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported from London, England

    I was so wrong about Peacock not coming to the UK - still trying to work out how it plans to coexist as a distinct product with Sky. Most of the launch content is already streaming via #skyq and #nowtv

  • Garrardinho Gary Lager (@Garrardinho) reported from London, England

    @nowtvhelp I am currently using the NowTV Player software on PC w/ a HDMI cable to my TV. This works OK but occasionally this freezes and the video & audio go out of sync which wasn't an issue with Chromecast.

  • AnnaLou88 Anna 💃🏻 (@AnnaLou88) reported from London, England

    @NOWTV Hi, are you having issues at the moment? I am unable to sign into my online account to change a subscription. Thanks.

  • BowenKnight_24 Theo M-T🏎🏁✝️ (@BowenKnight_24) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    NOWTV & Virgin Media are playing silly buggers on my PS4. My phone, MacBook & iPad all work fine but the one platform I need to work, keeps freezing and buffering🤬

  • nocontextmlra m (@nocontextmlra) reported from Lambeth, England

    wallahi nowtv is the worst streaming platform i’ve ever come across

  • EightOxbow OxbowEight (@EightOxbow) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam @Lizzee_d Hi Team, I’m getting the same issue. All previous episodes work. There always seem to be an issue with HAYU content on nowtv.

  • turnedtofire turned to fire (@turnedtofire) reported

    Tried using @NOWTV's chatbot to get things sorted, but its algorithms drove me towards options for problems I don't have (e.g. unauthorised use of my payment card by a family member or thief, rather than by NOW themselves).

  • ktsimmo Katie (@ktsimmo) reported

    @NOWTV broadband goes completely down bang on Christmas holidays with no customer service staff at all. That's great for people who need internet for work ain't it!

  • FranklyWrites Katherine Franklin (@FranklyWrites) reported

    Honestly, NowTV shows you ads even after you pay them, and their subtitles don't even work for half the lines. What's the point?

  • ACasualBantam Craig (@ACasualBantam) reported

    Woke up to no Wi-Fi Again, just randomly not working @NOWTV is by far the worst service I've ever had, pay them and they don't give you the service, nor correct it or compensate **** Now TV

  • rodstanley Rod Stanley (@rodstanley) reported

    @LukeTurnerEsq Hm. We’ve now been trying to ‘cast’ it from the NowTV app to the tv but it keeps throwing up an error message, like we aren’t allowed to do that. Can cast other programmes on Now but not that one.

  • teniljohnyong liz 🌙 (@teniljohnyong) reported

    my god is nowtv really this ******* bad??? not only does the video quality go down randomly for half the movie, the audio is terrible too, either out of sync or it ends up sounding like I'm listening through a can

  • Jon_the_Deacon Deacon Jon (@Jon_the_Deacon) reported

    So apparently I cannot purchase the Cinema pack on NOWtv because my card will not work because NOW demands a house number. We only have house names in our village and when I select my address from the drop down it leaves the house number blank @NOWHelpTeam

  • JebusMcMuffin Fuecoco McMuffin (@JebusMcMuffin) reported

    @L3wdOwl I agree, the constant spam is the reason so many people use ad blockers for browsers and apps. Especially on a service you're paying for. It's why I have a problem with the current NowTV subscription model too.

  • RafLee84 Scarlet_Beech (@RafLee84) reported from Lambeth, England

    How to watch HBO in UK ( sky is too expensive, NowTV stream is very low quality ) ?
