    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

    Anyone else having issues with NOWTV picture quality varying? It’s not my broadband; stable and reasonably fast

    @glyn1002 No worries. I was fishing around and it's nowtv that's the problem according to sky. Checked back to hd and it's fine again now.

    @Dennis_OCD @NOWTVHelp Hi Sorry for random message but did you manage to get this fixed? I’m having the same problem and the NowTV website is atrocious.

  • alanmcalanface
    Alan David O'Driscoll (they/them) (@alanmcalanface) reported

    @SirBoulderdash @DisneyPlusUK Yeah! At first I thought it was a license issue (like it was already on Netflix or NowTV), but it’s been ages and other people have asked so I’m pretty sure it’s a glitch.

  • dr_maj_harrison
    mark harrison (@dr_maj_harrison) reported

    @Barclaycard Thank you Ross. Everyone I have contacted at @Barclaycard is really polite. It is just frustrating that nobody is able to sort this out. @NOWTV can't help as they don't recognise us as being customers.

  • amber_mansell_
    amber *-゚✧*-゚✧ (@amber_mansell_) reported

    Not at all happy with NOWTV’s service. We booked a time slot 2-3 weeks ago to sort out fitting new internet and booked time off work specifically, and they never even showed up or rang yesterday 😡sent an email to see what’s happening and NOTHING! @NOWHelpTeam

    The NowTV website is perhaps the worst website on the planet. It’s just constant “technical problems”.

    @John_Finnis_ @elson_tong This is not the first article I’ve read about BNOs and their life in UK. Think NowTV previously had an exclusive and some of them were actually accountants & finance professionals who went there to work in supermart checkouts. Yeah, if you’ve made enough fair enough I guess.
