    @katebevan Yeah this made me cancel my subscription, was already only using it occasionally because of the terrible NowTV app on Roku

  • KatWheatley97 Kat Wheatley (@KatWheatley97) reported

    @NOWTV APPALLING SERVICE, DON'T SIGN UP. Internet is completely down in our area and we've been told we will have to survive without internet for 2 days while the issue is being resolve. No compensation, no temporary support measures. As an NHS home-worker this is a nightmare.

    NowTV broadband (think it's in the BSkyB network) down in Manchester, any update on a timescale for a fix?

  • darnwrite S (@darnwrite) reported

    @NOWTV @SkySports I have purchased a sports day pass, I can see it in my account. I tried to start it on a new device, it says on your website simply start on new device to activate new device but it’s not working! The chat bot is taking me round in circles! The final ends today

    @Cam_EOTD @NOWTV I used to pay £17 for the F1 channel, then there was an additional fee for HD, plus more if you wanted it in 4K. Crazy as it’s all shot in 4K and more effort to downgrade the quality.

    @NOWHelpTeam how come the uktv play app keeps closing down when being used with the nowtv stick?? Works fine on phone. Plays ads no issue, then either takes you back to programme select screen, or takes me back to nowtv screen. Any ideas?? Thanks

  • 10YearsAsleep Mart Zed (@10YearsAsleep) reported

    Hey @NOWTV this concurrency error I’m getting when I’m streaming on zero devices is really impressive. Roll back the device limit you imposed which causes this. Thanks for taking my cash though. Cannot recommend the current service.

  • Vinc3timb3 Vinnie (@Vinc3timb3) reported

    Is there an issue with @NOW ? I am trying to stream a show but it says I have reached the maximum number of streaming devices. Which is 2? I have 3 devices where 2 of 3 are not watching anything, so what’s going on? #nowtv #now

    @EngineMode11 @TomMcCluskey_ It truly is the future imo. Not only do you attract more people. It would also help escape from the god awful players that nowtv, sky etc have. Because YouTube and Twitch for streaming are simply superior.

    @ofcom ..but (following 20 day wait for ADSL provision) NOWTV advise they *still cannot switch and retain number* because their line uses “non-Sky equipment” (despite being current Sky customers) Initially, NOWTV said issue was they were IP telephony users (they were not) (2)
