    . @NOWTV @nowtvhelp any idea on how to stop the intermittent blue screen when playing back any on demand video or TV channels? Got an older now TV smart box. It's wired connection into a 300mbps virgin media hub so no issues.on playback speed.

    “Pay for top speed WiFi” “guaranteed to work in every area of the house” “no more lagging” What a load of bollocks, 2:20am and it still doesn’t work 🤬#nowtv @NOWTV

  • 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.

    @NOWHelpTeam I have spoken to NowTV over the phone several times over the last two weeks and every time they have told me they cannot provide we with an update. This is why I have decided to communicate with the ‘help team’. Is there anything else you can do for me? Calling is doing nothing.

    @NOWTV help, YouTube isn’t working on my now tv stick? Fine yesterday. I’ve restarted but app won’t load?

    @NOWHelpTeam hi I can’t sign in to my nowtv account it won’t also let me change password

  • SeanOhBoyle Seán Oh Boyle (@SeanOhBoyle) reported

    NOWTV is the least intuitive streaming service. It runs like **** on PS4 and the website forces you to download a player app that you can't even cast to your TV from. Awful. I'll suffer through this as it's the only way I can watch Succession.

    FAO @espn, @NFLUK & @NFL: I can legally watch MNF in the UK on Gamespass, Sky/NowTV & Channel 5. I pay for the first 2 & a TV licence But no access to Peyton&Eli!? All I hear on Twitter is how good they are & don't want to be forced to find an illegal stream Please Help!😟#MNF

  • kmorrow90 Kirsty Morrow (@kmorrow90) reported

    @NOW any known issues with your sports package? Picture quality and loading time has been really bad for me these past few days #nowtv

  • NickGisburne Nick Gisburne (@NickGisburne) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam @eve_jackson_ I can confirm that mine was not working at all last night, but when I tried today it gave the 'Updating...' message (presumably downloading a new version of the app) and now it's all working again on my NowTV stick.

  • Debbie_Roberts Debs Roberts (@Debbie_Roberts) reported

    @hayuhelps So last month it was an issue with people watching via NowTV, this month its an issue with people watching via Amazon prime. I think the issue doesn't lie with either, but with Hayu!

  • sorawixo sorawi (@sorawixo) reported

    @OpenreachHelp We’ve already contacted our provider (NowTV). The delay was due to your engineer being injured during his work and your company didn’t provider us any replacements. We were then told a week later that someone would visit on 28th - but now told it will actually be 6th October.
