Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Bolton and nearby locations:

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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? 🤔

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • antoniapoppy Antonia Lallement (@antoniapoppy) reported from Stockport, England

  • KelvinRuthven 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #BorgLife #AssociateProducer #ZSJL (@KelvinRuthven) reported

    @TheNerdQueens @CDawsonAuthor @wickedivy Unfortunately Sky/NowTV doesn't get everything HBO has. It took AGES for RAISED BY WOLVES to appear on Sky/NowTV. Films aren't a guarantee either. We could be waiting months before ZSJL turns up. Hopefully the dedicated HBOMax channel NowTV Help told me about will come through.

  • _Terry_Barnett Terry Barnett 💙 (@_Terry_Barnett) reported

    @NOWTV can you help? My BT TV box says it is not a registered device and yet it is listed as one of my six devices? If tells me not to delete it or I won’t be able to add it back until 1Feb? Thanks

  • hari_ayengar Hari S Ayengar (@hari_ayengar) reported

    It is absolutely shocking that @NOWTV still doesn't have subtitles for viewers using the BT TV box. Really terrible from an accessibility standpoint.

  • Philoso74715645 Philosophically Stoic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺💙😷 (@Philoso74715645) reported

    @SkySports Pleased to see it here, my @NOWTV had dropped again, right at the crucial moment. I watched a Scotland match when we played in Argentina 1978 in better quality than I can now. @NOWTV - you'll be earning £33.00 a month less from tomorrow, it's atrocious.

  • composer_chris Chris Williams (@composer_chris) reported

    Just been told by @NOWTV that there is a problem with their external hub, the result of which is that I won’t have WiFi for 3-5 days (so can’t connect to the secure network needed to work remotely, as this can’t be hot-spotted from mobile), and...

  • ScottCK66 ScottCK66 (@ScottCK66) reported

    @nowtvhelp This advice is for buffering, its the picture that's the issue. When the games are on its all blurred. It's not buffering. The picture is rubbish and yiu can't tell who the players are because it's that distorted. Any other channel is OK. Just NowTV Sports Channel. Disgrace!

  • douglaskatie93 ☯☮ 𝕯𝖔𝖚𝖌𝖑𝖆𝖘 ☯☮ (@douglaskatie93) reported

    Anyone purached a sony TV and tried to redeem the @NOWTV pass but comes up with an error????

  • millerAD3 miller-ad (@millerAD3) reported

    @NOWTV Hello I am trying to understand why my bill has gone up by almost 50% for the month. Didnt want to go to the Community and RoboBOT thingy was as much help as a chocolate Tea Pot. Can you help please?

  • ClaireBillo Claire Billington (@ClaireBillo) reported

    Having problems with @NOWTV unable to sign in, playback error. Tried all the resets it suggested and now can’t make a complaint without signing in ! I don’t want to cancel just watch what I’m paying for, please help.

  • MrQuizWorthing Paul Preston (@MrQuizWorthing) reported

    @NowTV - any idea why my white NowTV box has a "Sorry, we are no longer supporting the device" error message?
