    @MEFoggyDog Not much help for this afternoon, but I use a Now TV stick/box. Can access all catch up channels plus subscription channels, Netflix, Prime, Nowtv. I'd be lost without it (don't need to subscribe to nowtv - I dip in and out depending what's on, and what offers they send me).

    @NOWTV Come on you guys, whoever is allowing your ads to be shown on GB News is asking for trouble, you are going to lose customers!

  • ToG Mr T 💪🏼 (@ToG) reported

    Not content with being a dreadful service, @NowTV now want an extra £5/month to be able to watch on more than 1 device 😔 I'd consider it if I had any level of trust that it would actually work as they say it would, given the problems we've had using 2 devices prior to the change

  • JustinGayner Justin Gayner (@JustinGayner) reported

    @SkySportsGolf the red button bonus stream on nowtv for seniors open has got technical problems. Please help!

  • 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

    @NOWHelpTeam No, every other app including YouTube and Netflix work on my tv besides nowtv. Nowtv works on my phone and my iPad just not my tv

  • LumpySlayPrince Graham Snorton (@LumpySlayPrince) reported

    Why tf has NowTV turned up the speed/pitch of HBO programmes? It's made true blood sound awful and I genuinely thought Eric was sat on his ***** in one part but it's just the pitch change
