  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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? 🤔

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • louloubloom 🌦️Louise Bloomfield 🌈 🇮🇪 (@louloubloom) reported

    @NOW_Ireland I'd like to watch NowTv on my chrome book but there is no app and playback in the browser doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

  • laurasayers3 Laura Jane Cameron (@laurasayers3) reported

    Two terrible things about @nowtv 1. I pay for service but still have to watch adverts. 2. Next episodes don't automatically start...

  • dr1141 D (@dr1141) reported

    @agbu44 @fia @F1 I agree. NowTV gave us free coverage of the race, something is not watched for years. But that ending was disgraceful esp as he had an 11+sec lead just before the crash. I don't watch football as it's a corrupt business. Looks like F1 is still dodgy.

  • RyanUK90 UKRyan (@RyanUK90) reported

    @OpenreachHelp Could you tell me if there is a phone number I can call to find out about FTTH/P because the engineer we just had come out (who couldn't help because NowTV ****** up again) told us that he thinks my area should be getting FTTH/P soon.

  • andywasley Andy Wasley (@andywasley) reported

    Is NOWTV trying to collect an award for being utterly, utterly awful in every respect? It's like the Boris Johnson of streaming services: promises a lot, but it's a total shambles and leaves you feeling angry and betrayed.

  • Whatleydude James Whatley (@Whatleydude) reported

    @artesea @Channel4 @NOWTV How is one SD better than another? I don't have a sky box but if I could ppv via an app (in a decent quality) then I would.

  • JaTeken JaTeKen 🤖 (@JaTeken) reported

    @UridiumAuthor Our Toshiba TV started doing odd stuff with 4K like this! It started with our Firestick, colours look all washed out. Tried every combo of settings, can't fix it. This week, NowTV is doing it, can't fix that either. I've forced everything to 1080p & the colour is vastly improved.

  • janethampson Janet Hampson Personal Management Ltd (@janethampson) reported from Middleton, England

    I wish @Apple had told me that their #HomePod doesn’t work with all WiFi BEFORE I bought one!! Come on.. iPhone and Mac run on @NOWTV WiFi so what’s the problem??

  • datascience_fun David Buck (@datascience_fun) reported

    @ruskin147 @virginmedia I was completely put off Virgin from the constant complaints of outages on Hanwell Friends FB. Apart from an outage when an OpenReach cabinet flooded, NowTV Broadband has been flawless.

    @NOWTV my broadband is not working in Birmingham what is going on
