    @NOWTV I am fully aware of that. The programme was recorded in 4:3 but looks square (really thick side bars). 16:9 TV adverts have black bars when they should be in full screen. No problems until yesterday.

    @princessstomper @NOWTV Gotcha, yeah, I remember that text issue when I last had a CRT. All games just decided to add tiny text. Well, hey, at least TV's have mostly gotten ridiculously cheap compared to what their counterparts were 10-20 years ago.

    @bt_uk I can't seem to get my Prime Video or NOWTV apps to work on my YouView box. They just black screen then go back to what I was previously watching...

    I've bought a NowTV Sky Sports pass today for the first time and I've seen Grosjean crash and burst in to flames, Perez car explode and Jimenez now with a dreadful looking head injury. Maybe it's me?

    I'm sorry about the stream if you were watching or planning too... My internet has been having issues for months, thought it was fixed now it's not holding for more then 30 minutes! @NOWTV can you sort it out? It's not funny! 🙄

    @NOWTV unable to get the help I needed online chat, you charged us £104 for sky sports, we do watch sports, we don't even use now tv. I feel like you have conned us, possibly my 6 year old signed up for a free trial, and when it wasn't cancelled you pulled our pants down. Help

    @NOWTV I just joined @NOWTV for WiFi and it is WiFi where they look at the sites you search for and if they don't like what you are accessing it comes up "this site doesn't work" But it does work, the message is a lie and you are spying on me

    @LaughablyFree @NOWTV Yeah the menus are ******* embarrassing. I'm not sure how it is on all formats, but on PS4, it just looks awful and is awful. I'm not sure how they think it's acceptable in 2020. Bugger all choice as well, it's bad.

    @nowtvhelp having issues with devices on my NowTV account. It is using a new IP address on my device each time I use it so counts as an extra device

    @NOWTV The NOWTV app for it is terrible

  • byalexchinery Alex Chinery (@byalexchinery) reported

    Anyone got a BT YouView box having issues with both the @NOWTV and @PrimeVideo apps? It just black screens and then goes back to the channel I was watching previously...?
