  • Bleasedog Ian Blease | Dodgers Win! (@Bleasedog) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @NOWTV please could someone get in touch work me? Bought a new stick tonight and keep getting the error "authentication plugin bot downloaded -4" Have tried everything I can find on the website and the bot live chat.

  • alext_davies Alex Davies (@alext_davies) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWHelpTeam I finally got through to your unhelpful team. No reason for cancelling my order, no thought for the problems this causes work etc. back to BT great customer service. whatever you’ve done to my broadband now needs an engineer to visit. Don’t go with #NowTV

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’ve never, ever experienced anything like the service I’ve received with @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp - the sheer lack of customer care and the way my issue has been handled has been so shockingly bad I literally fail to believe a word they tell me.

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • missdawniehick Dawn Hickey (@missdawniehick) reported from Stubbins, England

    Subtitles: I have used many online streaming platforms to waste time during lockdown. @BBCiPlayer @NetflixUK @PrimeVideo @disneyplus @ITV and by far the worst most insaccessible and most unhelpful of them all is @NOWTV @nowtvhelp. The subtitles are incomplete, broken, freezing

  • sophiemaybird_ Sophiemay 🐝 (@sophiemaybird_) reported from Salford, England

    I’m not usually this type of person however @NOWTV / @nowtvhelp and @OpenreachHelp screwed me over with my broadband due to an issue with the exchange nearby - but failed to notify me. It’s been almost 3 days since I found out and haven’t had a message from them.

  • Nomio1984 Naomi Jewitt (@Nomio1984) reported from Oldham, England

    @NOW Hi, we have a nowtv box (wired wifi connection) and it’s still not working this morning

  • antoniapoppy Antonia Lallement (@antoniapoppy) reported from Stockport, England

    Hey @NOWTV what’s your problem? Why do you hate your users? Just play the next bloody episode

  • Ruthlisaellis Ruth Farrell (@Ruthlisaellis) reported from Meltham, England

    Seriously fed up of @NOWTV i can't log in on any device or any browser. Constantly saying try later?! Try to get help, nobody to talk to sends me round in circles!

  • forzaDane Forza Dane (@forzaDane) reported from Salford, England

    @AldoH35 @BBCiPlayer @NOWTV I have an amazon fire stick in another room and it worked on that. So guess it’s a @NOWTV problem

  • yourmancman1 KoM Cazzer (@yourmancman1) reported from Salford, England

    Trying to watch prog on @NOWTV_It / any idea why it’s not working ? #nowtv

  • JoshHalliday Josh Halliday (@JoshHalliday) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWTV @nowtvhelp Please can you urgently fix the buffering issues? Not the first time it’s happened - usually during an England game. Not worth the money we’re paying for this.

  • b3ena Beena Mistry (@b3ena) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @NOWTV my sky sport mobile pass is not working! It has only ever worked once, please can you help

  • Trewball John the Bastard (@Trewball) reported from Salford, England

    @jokerdaddy23 if you've not done it already, if you type in NOWTV cinema pass free trial into Google, you can get a 7 day free trial. I'm gonna buy a month pass for £12 anyway hoping it'll help but letting you know there's an option for those who are low on funds etc. #SnyderCut

  • LubeckRoss lubeck ross (@LubeckRoss) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWTV I have a Problem with my NOWTV App through BT RE: DEVICES I'm unable to watch my Subscription channels Through either my TV or cast from my mobile phone ,This has happened lots of times the last time on Tuesday. I Had a online chat with Nowtv and it took 5 mins to fix.

  • nebskii nebskii 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🐝 (@nebskii) reported from Urmston, England

    The @NOWTV app has stopped working on my @LGUK smartTV, getting error PL-0 whenever I try to play content. Any solution other than resetting the TV to factory settings (NOT doing that as I'll lose my other app data)? Tried reinstalling app, no fix.

    The worst ******* thing when you’re just starting to watch a show on now tv and they remove it, happens all the ******* time @NOWTV

  • CraigDHoare Craig 🌹 (@CraigDHoare) reported from Birmingham, England

    @NOWTV Please make the app better...constant issues streaming via TV. Internet connection is fine.40 quid a month for "something's not right "

  • cestspike Spike (@cestspike) reported

    NowTV definitely a contender for the worst streaming service of all time. Films out here looking like they were recorded on a potato. 240p is considered HD to these useless bastards

  • krystinanellis Krystina Nellis (@krystinanellis) reported

    sucks the subtitles didn't work on @NOWTV though, they were selected and just... nope, nothing

  • StuartWeinstoc1 Stuart Weinstock (@StuartWeinstoc1) reported

    @wendy_passy @NOWTV I’m having problems also, when the internet speed drops , I lose the connection on my tv . Seriously considering not bothering when the subscription run out at the end of the month.#Nowtv.it

  • SCM_37 Joe (@SCM_37) reported

    @NOWTV Hi, 2x devices experiencing same issues when watching Man United game on Now TV. Player keeps cutting off and disconnects back to main menu every 10 mins or so. Are you experiencing technical difficulties today?

  • krystinanellis Krystina Nellis (@krystinanellis) reported

    @SophieAMitch @NOWTV not to mention subtitles that plain do not work half the time 😔

  • darrangilpin Darran Gilpin (@darrangilpin) reported

    @mr_n_poos I’ll tell you one thing NowTV is a shambles. Good luck watching anything on the app without it freezing. Even sent an engineer out on Friday who said it’s a known issue. Total waste of time and delay Tati s from BT.

  • Minghowriter Ming Ho (@Minghowriter) reported

    @NOWTV So best just to unplug to play that channel? You’re not aware of others with this issue?

  • SophieAMitch Sophie A Mitchell (@SophieAMitch) reported

    @krystinanellis @NOWTV Thats it as well there's nothing I'm desperate to watch; I have to have it for work but each time I go on it I get annoyed.

  • craigeybhoy Craig Mcvey (@craigeybhoy) reported

    @NOWTV No problem, I’m not worried but it’s the 3 daughters giving me ear ache!!!
