    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.

    **** sake @NOWTV is rubbish. One of the worst streaming services, over priced, no pause or rewind and now I find I can cast from my phone to a TV. Utterly ridiculous.

    NOWtv not having subtitles is genuinely the worst thing ever

    This is a first world problem but **** does it piss me off that I pay for NowTV yet still have to watch Ads. What is the business model?!

    @NOWHelpTeam unable to watch Amazon Prime on my Nowtv box, says connection issue yet I can still watch sky films, sky entertainment and Disney+. Have uninstall and reinstalled but getting the same screen saying connection issue. Please help

    @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.

    can't wait to cancel my nowtv subscription as soon as i've finished watching succession with my flatmate, their whole interface is awful and they don't even have the new episodes of frayed or yellowjackets yet so what's the point

    @bt_uk hi guys wen I took out my full fibre plan and the Tv I was told someone would send me an email to set up my password for NowTV so I could watch my stuff online but no one has so can u help plz! It’s been about a month! Thanks :)

  • lgladdy Liam (@lgladdy) reported

    As someone who watches F1 on NowTV, I very much appreciated @SkySportsF1 working with @C4F1 to let them air Sky’s coverage today. The extra 20 seconds of delay would have been awful for the end of that race.

    @Mr_Marty Are you using nowtv for it? Pain in the arse when it's out of sync. I get it through the bt box using now and it's terrible if my internet drops for a second.
