    @NOWTV trying to watch the NFL on @skysports but the constant buffering and error messages on my BT Box AND NOWTV box make it impossible! When will this be sorted? Very frustrating !! 😡😡😡

  • CallumKerrigan C (@CallumKerrigan) reported from Liverpool, England

    @hayu_uk @NOWTV what’s going on with RHOBH? It’s been 4 days now. What’s the point of having this subscription if it doesn’t work. Other new episodes have gone on so why hasn’t RHOBH? I can’t believe you’re not offering some form of help like a temp log in to actual hayu.

    @EmporersNewC NowTV is awful, so any sane person normally stays well away from it. But with the new season drip-feeding on it ...

  • idiotsyncratic Jasmine Naziha Jones (@idiotsyncratic) reported

    I know thoughts aren’t real but sometimes I get stuck in this scenario where I’m explaining to my mum, over the phone, how to work NowTv and I get so scared.

    @jongreydavies @WasOnceLoved @NOWTV We had the same thing a while back. The new app is shiny and plays a musical note when opened It is also even harder to use than the old one. The search function is infuriatingly terrible (no voice). We get around this by using the Apple Remote app on an iPhone and typing.

    @NOWTV Your stream is down. Please fix

  • SampsCaroline Caroline Sampson (@SampsCaroline) reported

    @melindahaunton We're with BT. It's ok. No major problems and we can get discounted passes for NowTV which is useful when your football team is on Sky!

  • RedKalaharian I'm from Hukus 😊 (@RedKalaharian) reported

    @StevenCya I’m now thinking of getting vpn and creating an account with nowtv. My internet is very fast, but I think the DSTV servers can’t handle the amount of connections.
