    @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 My card was copied so it got cancelled by the bank. I missed my payment as a result. Received an email on Sunday from you to say in 2 weeks my account would be closed. It was closed yesterday, and as I work there's no one on chat. I have now added my new card. Any help welcome.

    Has anyone written an article yet about just why NowTV is so terrible compared to its competitors? What constraints are they working with that mean they can't just work normally in a browser like Netflix/Amazon Prime/Disney+ et al?

    @NOWTV Man U Everton game keeps buffering and stalling. Poor picture quality. Can I get some advice please?

  • hmcott_ Hannah Cottrell (@hmcott_) reported

    @NOWTV She signs into her now tv account on Roku and then when she selects a programme it comes up with needing to choose a pass. She pays monthly so surely she shouldn’t be expected to pay an additional cost to watch now tv?? She can watch fine on her iPad. Please help

    Does @nowtv intend to leave disabled customers with a poor unusable nowtv app over Christmas. @nowtvhelp get the seperate Nowtv app back on. Its Christmas. You know it can be done. A real good coder can do it in less than a day.

  • Hegrz Jamie Hegarty (@Hegrz) reported

    @NOWTV Is your live chat down currently? I was in the middle of working through an issue and the chat disconnected, now every time I try to start a new one it says there is a connection problem and to try later.

  • Tachyon0011 Tachyon0011 (@Tachyon0011) reported

    One of your staff removed every device from my Nowtv account without asking if thats what i wanted @NOWTV @nowtvhelp . Thats poor customer service for disabled customers. Fix this.
