    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?!?😡😡😡😡

  • 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.

    @81Lindsayx @hayuhelps @hayuhelps having the same issue. Nowtv on all devices only putting up new RHONY & RHOBH episodes a week after they’ve gone up. Any advice?

  • andrewgail A:\ndrew (@andrewgail) reported

    @NowTV's LG TV app is absolute garbage. Frequently craps out on it's own, but if you pause a show it'll almost definitely throw a PL-0 error within 30 seconds of resuming. Can it really be so hard serving a 720p stream when Netflix manages 1080p, and Prime Video 4K without issue?

    @josephmbates That's awful, so sorry! Babylon Berlin on NowTV is awesome and Castlevania on Netflix for pure ridiculous escapism :)

    @jonnysta @JohnCrossland @firstdirecthelp Switch off your WiFi and log in on 3/4g. It should work. NowTV and sky are the same lot.
