    @EngineMode11 @TomMcCluskey_ It truly is the future imo. Not only do you attract more people. It would also help escape from the god awful players that nowtv, sky etc have. Because YouTube and Twitch for streaming are simply superior.

    @sheikyerbouti_ I player is one of the worst media players I've ever seen, beaten only by nowtv

    @NOWHelpTeam how come the uktv play app keeps closing down when being used with the nowtv stick?? Works fine on phone. Plays ads no issue, then either takes you back to programme select screen, or takes me back to nowtv screen. Any ideas?? Thanks

    Is there an issue with @NOW ? I am trying to stream a show but it says I have reached the maximum number of streaming devices. Which is 2? I have 3 devices where 2 of 3 are not watching anything, so what’s going on? #nowtv #now

    good lord, NowTV is the absolute worst: an extra fiver a month for no ads and HD? GRRRRR.

  • katebevan Kate Bevan (@katebevan) reported

    @andrewdaviesuk NowTV is such a terrible user experience, too. I'm fine with paying for content, I can afford it. But I expect a decent experience, not one that leaves me screaming with rage

    NowTV broadband (think it's in the BSkyB network) down in Manchester, any update on a timescale for a fix?
