    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp I’m wondering whether or not you’re going to address the ongoing issues with your system: crashes, endless-malfunctions, etc., or do you not care? Are you running #nowtv into the ground in the hope of bullying people into buying #skytv?

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV Please can you let me know where I can direct a written complaint. My tweets and emails are going unanswered and this problem is unresolved. I’m not getting what I am paying for.

    @NOWTV @tdrumnbass This has been happening to me on iPad also. I have tried deleting the app and re-downloading, but no joy. Can’t seem to see any error code.

  • Angelic_Dixie Angelic Dixie (@Angelic_Dixie) reported

    @NOWTV Hi- your live chat isn't working for me and I can't find a phone number- could you please help with contact details for your customer service pls? I want to place a new order online but am not allowed to transfer my existing phone number.

    Absolutely shocking from NowTV, bought their Sky Sports day pass for the Celtic game,sat down to watch it & it didn't work. Missed the first 18 & a half minutes getting it to work. They're lucky it started working when it did. Unacceptable from them. #Celtic #CelticFC #NowTV

    @nowtvhelp all my tv passes have been removed, can't access my account info online to fix. Nowtv prompting me to start a free trial when I try to watch a programme or film, can't even do this if I wanted to. This new promotion has caused a fault with my account!

  • LynelMessy Lynel Messy (@LynelMessy) reported

    @NOWTV (2/2) you don't have my new card details. At the end of my tether with you and you are simply not interested in helping and there is no duty of care. Beware using NowTV as they will not help you if you become a victim of fraud. They're actively supporting the criminals.

    It's funny I never used to have any problems with @NOWTV until they started advertising the Boost. Think I'll get rid of it.

  • JohnRWaddell John Waddell (@JohnRWaddell) reported

    I find @NOWTV is so inaccessible. Not at all user friendly and I don’t think I’ve watched anything yet where the subtitles work.

  • _Only1Kelvin Kelvin Olasupo (@_Only1Kelvin) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @bigdayv Hey @SkyHelpTeam I’m having the same problem and I was told the app is no longer available to new customers, this includes previous subscribers who have cancelled their subscription and are looking to re-subscribe. And should use NowTV as an alternative.

    NowTV isn’t working on my windows 10 PC I’m getting error code VGC-4259315739:3 . I’ve uninstalled multiple times and restarted my router. Still getting the same error message

    @NOWTV why won’t your Now tv smart stick setup code not work? Why does the website you directed me to not recognise the code?
