  • mattbun Matt Bunnell (@mattbun) reported from Darlington, England

    @NOWTV I am fully aware of that. The programme was recorded in 4:3 but looks square (really thick side bars). 16:9 TV adverts have black bars when they should be in full screen. No problems until yesterday.

  • SarahSallyRobe1 Sarah Sally Roberts💙💙💙 (@SarahSallyRobe1) reported from Startforth, England

    Why is @NOWTV so totally unusable? Trying to watch the #FRIENDSREUNION it will not allow me to rewind 2 seconds to rewatch a cherished moment without rewinding to the beginning. #infuriating. Is it on DVD?!?😡😡😡😡

    @NOWTV I've found out it was on my work email I need it cancelled asap

  • Defencebrief Nicholas Diable (@Defencebrief) reported

    @katebevan Honestly, I think Channel 4 one is the worst. Although I admit I did cancel my NowTV subscription because it was rubbish.

  • Wild1145 Ryan Wild (@Wild1145) reported

    @NOWTV I'll just sit here watching the videos buffer trying to do training that I've got to get done because, well I haven't got any other choice at the moment.

  • Sallliee Sally Galloway (@Sallliee) reported

    @NOWTV wondering if you plan on putting earlier seasons of @NBCChicagoPD back on? I bribed my teenager to do his home learning by promising he could watch season 3 if he did it all and bribes gone out the window all I'm left with is one upset kid and a stressed out mum help??

  • lukewijsveld Luke Wijsveld (@lukewijsveld) reported

    @nowtvhelp Does @NOWTV not work on Samsung TVs anymore? Now TV adverts play followed by a blue screen with ‘Unable to load Video’. Have reinstalled, rebooted with no luck for the last few weeks. Works fine on iPad, so not sure what to do, any advice?

  • cole_eliot Eliot Cole (@cole_eliot) reported

    @arbitrarygenius Roku boxes are like an actually decent version of NowTV boxes (might even be the same tech, dunno) ... Except they allowed people to watch stuff in quality that was better than 720p. ((( removed original tweeterer )))

  • Emily_Cooper93 Emily Cooper (@Emily_Cooper93) reported

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp I have been charged for a sky sports day pass but I did not add this to my account.. online chat isn’t working! Please help!

  • Mikeyboydadski Michael Armstrong (@Mikeyboydadski) reported

    @NOWTV absolutely hopeless at sorting out both account problems (for several months) and now it is telling me my NowTV box is not a registered device but my account tells me I can add another 6 devices simply by watching a programme on them. AND back to the beginning!
