    @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.

    @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!

  • 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 I had a live chat today and was told they would email me to see if we could solve the problem. Not heard anything. My box keeps saying it is offline. Keeps going off when watching. Using the black NowTV box.

    Man, I did not think I was going to watch #TokyoOlympics2020 and here I am watching it in Cantonese because I refuse to pay for NowTV. It’s still nice despite the fact that I have no idea what anyone is saying. Turns out toddler-level Canto does not help with sport broadcasts

    @NOWTV what’s going on with my log in? I can’t get into any app or browser using my log in…? Been happening for a week now..please help

  • DaveWelshDev DaveTheDev (@DaveWelshDev) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam This is connected to the fire yesterday. We’ve never had problems before this so in doubt very much it’s anything inside the home. Also I’m with NowTV not sky so can’t sign into your website and NowTV offer no help on theirs

    @Louieupson @OpenreachHelp Openreach don’t have a “customer service” as such, because you are not the customer, in this case NowTV are, and you are NowTV’s. It is up to them to chase up any issues you are having.

    @NOW FIX YOUR INTERNET ISSUES. Why am I not receiving the bloody service I have paid for? ******* annoying #nowtv

  • ChrisJ1964 Chris (@ChrisJ1964) reported

    @HSBC_UK I could, but my issue was with NOWTV, not HSBC, so I’m not sure how you can help! My comment related to NOWTV’s infamous “customer service” - HSBC blameless here. Thanks anyway.👍🏼

    @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).
