    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

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

    @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

    @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

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

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SarahVaci
    Lordy (@SarahVaci) reported

    Watching “All Her Fault” on NowTV (a kid goes missing, it’s implied that the mum is at fault) and watchable as it is the ‘women get blamed for being incompetent in so many ways when they are just trying to juggle work and life and no men ever get criticised’ feels a little contrived and does not add to the story. Anyone else watched this (no spoilers please!)

  • LWatsit
    Michelle (@LWatsit) reported

    Please fix the bug that makes the programme start with no picture, just sound. Every F1 I have to log in and out to get a picture and nearly miss the start! 🪲 (LG TV app) @NOWTV

  • jpsawyer67

    @NOWTV having trouble loading updating payment account

  • freespeech404uk
    Free Speech 404 UK (@freespeech404uk) reported

    @NOWTV do you know your subtitles are ALWAYS out of synch with the movie? The subtitles are always 2 minutes ahead of what's happening on screen. It's very annoying! I think it's because you add adverts before the movie? That screws up the timing. FIX IT PLEASE.

  • jamster86vdv

    @LifeInWales @NOWTV Been having this ever since the start of the footie season. Is absolutely their issue. They need to sort it out.

  • stikler4141

    @lola987123 @FilmUpdates Thats what they've been doing and it sucks ******* ***, NowTV is genuinely the worst streaming app ive ever used, im glad HBOs here now.

  • _X_db_X_
    .db. (@_X_db_X_) reported

    @philiphiggins @CherryWhitePins I find SkySports+ to be poor. Poor picture quality, poor sound, no mics around the pitch so atmospheres sound poor, not available on NowTV for those without Sky subscription while SkySportsMix has old games on at the same time… all for less money. SL on SS+ been a waste of time!

  • Andy8Fm
    Anderew (@Andy8Fm) reported

    I get so pissbaby mad, I got NowTv to watch HBO stuff but the app is the worst of any service, technically is sucks, freezes, buffering etc but the fact theres so many additional paywalls, ULTRA membership doesnt even remove ads it just drops them down to 30 seconds, ******* joke

  • thisisonyoux
    xoIHITxo (@thisisonyoux) reported

    @NOWTV no update on the audio description issue you are having on multiple programmes? It's an expensive subscription and havnt been able to watch anything for 3 days

    @SilverAscend @LeoKearse If BBC iPlayer and NOWTV can figure out you are on a VPN then I’m fairly sure it’s possible for the ISPs to block access to the VPN servers completely, regardless of protocol. Sure, it’s whack-a-mole, but they don’t need it to be perfect to be effective.
