    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.

    @NOWTV you're telling me I have a sky sports pass but it's not showing up on my app at all? Can you fix this the match is on!

  • Varanus261 Matt (@Varanus261) reported

    @jnmaccoll @WarnerBrosUK Possibly 4K in sky cinema or just shy for those that still have sky TV. However their compression/bitrate is awful... and NowTV is far worse. iTunes/Apple TV would be my pick for getting the best possible stream. Plus has the Dolby Vision and atmos perks for those with the gear.

    Maybe there will be a day when @NOWTV’s video quality isn’t complete garbage. Today is not that day.

  • huwj87 Huw Jones (@huwj87) reported

    @NOWTV No way. Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ stream in 4K without any issue and NowTV can’t even deliver 1080p without me doing up to twenty minutes of tinkering until it finally decides to boot into gear. Internet connectivity is not an issue on my end.

    @HollieB @NOWTV Ireland has the same Problem. It is so frustrating that NOWTV charge you so much. I also want to watch Bundesliga in Ireland and they only show 1 or 2 games per week but I have no other option...

  • UserGuyOne UserGuy1 (@UserGuyOne) reported

    Just want @disneyplus to know the PS4 app is without a doubt the worst video streaming service app on the market. And I say that have used NowTV though the windows store. Barely functional, slow and buggy.

  • OmarBenjouad Omar (@OmarBenjouad) reported

    @JordanM_F1 @FelixFellhase @LukeSmithF1 The other alternative, which I'm currently using, is NowTV, it's a sky company as well, that streams the channels, but the quality is not really commendable, capped at 720p, which is way below the current standard.

  • MrJakeWalters Jake Walters (@MrJakeWalters) reported

    @NOWTV you emailed me to say I had a free 5 month mobile pass but i just tried using and it doesn’t work. Do I somehow have to activate it?

  • Wilki1993 Joe Wilkins (@Wilki1993) reported

    @HollieB @NOWTV It doesn't solve all of the problems but there's quite often £20 a month for 6 months NowTV Sports packages floating around.

    @jmcalder101 @NOWTV @VodafoneUK Yeah looks like you need to ring Vodafone, checked the forums and lots of people having the same issue, seemingly no way to sort it on online (unless someone gets back to you here and sorts it).
