    @NOWTV would you seriously ever stop making your service worse with three terrible updates. Every one is worse and worse. Who do you how to do these? Have you heard of quality for it to seems you haven't

    @sjdhatters @kayc_1773 @SkyUK If NowTV had full HD and SkyQ recording capability, we'd ditch SkyQ altogether. Virgin Media have such a sluggish recording box and interface. If they got that up to Sky Q recorder quality, then that would be a third option.

    @SkyUK So, it's a TV with NowTV installed? The main reason I have a Sky dish and not cable is your picture quality and codes. This wouldn't replicate that would it? The bitrate is lower no?

    Dare to say worst streaming app out there (stability and built-wise) @NOWTV, half way through a movie decided not to work no more, finished the movie on @PrimeVideo. Might as well cancel the passes, it’s a dead app.

    @SkyHelpTeam It is. Unfortunately a lot of services (Including NowTV) advertise that they have subtitles, but it's not actually on the live TV, so it makes it totally unusable for people with hearing issues.

  • alexemorris Alex Morris (@alexemorris) reported

    @SkyUK It is but NOWTV isn’t anywhere near the level of sky with regards to investment, UX, channel selection and video/audio quality. Sky Glass looks to be the full sky experience via IP, which is awesome, I just wish I could use it on my Sony OLED.

    @NOWTV having trouble setting up now TV can't make a payment to sign up to broadband and calls and no phone number to ring to sort it out

  • Dougsey Dougsey (@Dougsey) reported

    @BenHanson1989 @CznOfEverywhere @BethRigby NowTv is a bit crap though. I use it as it's cheap but the quality ain't great.

  • bdav Ben (@bdav) reported

    @SpanielRacing @f1cowboyman @SkyNews How is it different? I want a WiFi SkyQ box. I can't get the dish put in (trees), I have an awesome TV, NowTV is rubbish quality, so I'm left with no options.
