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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • jxnluc 🤓 (@jxnluc) reported from Middleton, England

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @NOWTV your level of cs is appalling. I have no internet and no one seems to be able to help me or rearrange for an engineer to come out when the original one didn't show up. Pleae DM so we can sort this out.

  • jemtylermusic Jem Tyler (@jemtylermusic) reported

    Dear @nowtv I’ve been trying to contact you for a while now. No online support can help me. Calls often end unexpectedly after 25-40mins on hold. You need to fix my membership as it is unusable and I’m getting billed each month for a service I cannot use.

  • StarPolaroid 📷✨Polaroid Stardust✨📷 (@StarPolaroid) reported

    @SkyUK Nobody wants this ****. Just give us an app that's better than the low quality NowTV nonsense. I'm moving back to the UK next week and I have no intension on buying yet more sky hardware. I'll put up with **** NowTV quality until the content moves to better quality platforms.

  • anon126541 anon12654 (@anon126541) reported

    @another07047584 @JontyEvans @SkyUK It’s not forcing anything. Those that don’t want to replace their TV’s have skyQ and those that can’t have dishes and don’t want to replace their TV’s have NowTV streaming service. Not sure what your issue is tbh

  • TheRealDawn7 Dawn 'MUFC' (@TheRealDawn7) reported

    @dolphin_zone @hayu_uk @hayuhelps I also don't have access on nowtv, maybe it's a wider problem

  • SirDarrenM Darren (@SirDarrenM) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam the NowTV app has stopped working on my Lenovo tablet. Tried live chat twice and keep getting fobbed off that technical support will contact me. Paying for football etc... But can't watch it. All other apps work so it ain't the tablet.

  • pickledpanda86 Amanda Pickles (@pickledpanda86) reported

    @NOWTV having trouble setting up now TV can't make a payment to sign up to broadband and calls and no phone number to ring to sort it out

  • BodieClaire Claire Bodie Flynn (@BodieClaire) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Hi there. My NowTV app won’t connect to Google Chrome - is there a way to fix this? Thanks

  • NLinnane Nikky Linnane (@NLinnane) reported

    Sky TV hiking basic package price to €41 in November they can go jump NowTv has better offers. Sky Cinema is terrible all woke rubbish and a handful of classics not worth even €10 time to shop around

  • Trans_Communist A Gwenace to society ♿♀️🏳️‍🌈 (@Trans_Communist) reported

    The fact we've been dealing with snail Internet for a month (1 new hub and two engineers being sent round) is ridiculous. Yeah the customer service helpline is great but the actual service is awful Anyone got any isp recs over @NOWTV
