    Hey @NOWTV what’s your problem? Why do you hate your users? Just play the next bloody episode

  • nebskii nebskii 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🐝 (@nebskii) reported from Urmston, England

    The @NOWTV app has stopped working on my @LGUK smartTV, getting error PL-0 whenever I try to play content. Any solution other than resetting the TV to factory settings (NOT doing that as I'll lose my other app data)? Tried reinstalling app, no fix.

  • missdawniehick Dawn Hickey (@missdawniehick) reported from Stubbins, England

    Subtitles: I have used many online streaming platforms to waste time during lockdown. @BBCiPlayer @NetflixUK @PrimeVideo @disneyplus @ITV and by far the worst most insaccessible and most unhelpful of them all is @NOWTV @nowtvhelp. The subtitles are incomplete, broken, freezing

  • SophiePrior16 Sophie Prior (@SophiePrior16) reported from Wigan, England

    Anyone else having issues with @NOWTV stick not connecting to the Internet?

  • Bleasedog Ian Blease | Dodgers Win! (@Bleasedog) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @NOWTV please could someone get in touch work me? Bought a new stick tonight and keep getting the error "authentication plugin bot downloaded -4" Have tried everything I can find on the website and the bot live chat.

  • DJ_Chris_Dee chris dempster (@DJ_Chris_Dee) reported from Hoghton, England

    @NOWTV Any idea as to why I keep getting a PL-0 error message on my Xbox one S? I’ve removed then re-installed the app, cleared the cache and checked the location and dns status-all good! Can’t watch movies and it seems I’m not the only one??

  • Trewball John the Bastard (@Trewball) reported from Salford, England

    @jokerdaddy23 if you've not done it already, if you type in NOWTV cinema pass free trial into Google, you can get a 7 day free trial. I'm gonna buy a month pass for £12 anyway hoping it'll help but letting you know there's an option for those who are low on funds etc. #SnyderCut

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’m not usually this type of person however @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp and @OpenreachHelp screwed me over with my broadband due to an issue with the exchange nearby - but failed to notify me. It’s been almost 3 days since I found out and haven’t had a message from them.

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Leyland, England

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV Hi, I bought a Sky Sports monthly pass in the early hours but it seems like I've been charged twice. Any help?

  • yourmancman1 KoM Cazzer (@yourmancman1) reported from Salford, England

    Trying to watch prog on @NOWTV_It / any idea why it’s not working ? #nowtv

  • jxnluc 🤓 (@jxnluc) reported from Middleton, England

    The worst ******* thing when you’re just starting to watch a show on now tv and they remove it, happens all the ******* time @NOWTV

  • alext_davies Alex Davies (@alext_davies) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWHelpTeam I finally got through to your unhelpful team. No reason for cancelling my order, no thought for the problems this causes work etc. back to BT great customer service. whatever you’ve done to my broadband now needs an engineer to visit. Don’t go with #NowTV

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • forzaDane Forza Dane (@forzaDane) reported from Salford, England

    @AldoH35 @BBCiPlayer @NOWTV I have an amazon fire stick in another room and it worked on that. So guess it’s a @NOWTV problem

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Leyland, England

    @NOWTV I can't find the live chat link anywhere, it just keeps bringing me back to your help page. Have you got a direct link? 🤔

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’ve never, ever experienced anything like the service I’ve received with @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp - the sheer lack of customer care and the way my issue has been handled has been so shockingly bad I literally fail to believe a word they tell me.

  • LubeckRoss lubeck ross (@LubeckRoss) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWTV I have a Problem with my NOWTV App through BT RE: DEVICES I'm unable to watch my Subscription channels Through either my TV or cast from my mobile phone ,This has happened lots of times the last time on Tuesday. I Had a online chat with Nowtv and it took 5 mins to fix.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @NOWTV When attempting a “reset” on my NowTV stick, I am getting beyond the internet password only to be told I need to check my hdmi cable connection. There is no problem with that. Solution please?

  • JoshHalliday Josh Halliday (@JoshHalliday) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp Please can you urgently fix the buffering issues? Not the first time it’s happened - usually during an England game. Not worth the money we’re paying for this.

  • LondonHolly1865 Holly (@LondonHolly1865) reported

    Still can’t decide between iFollow or NowTV match pass for the game - iFollow you get quality, Fray commentary but crap camera. Sky you get multi camera and replays but shite bias commentary and they all hate Forest. 🤔 #NFFC
