  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • ju1ianLondon julian (@ju1ianLondon) reported

    @EmilyThornberry £157 is costly especially when ads on iplayer could help fund the BBC. Sky news/nowtv are very good & given how we stream, curate and consume telly nowadays it’s no longer sustainable to keep taxing and criminalising the public for the privilege of owning a Telly.

  • JoenanB Joenan The Barbarian (@JoenanB) reported

    @JamesGunn Hope this eventually makes its way on to Netflix, Amazon or NowTV. As a UK fan I want to support your work and not be a ***** pirate!

  • mikegarner Mike Garner (@mikegarner) reported

    @NOWTV Not only your clunky software takes an age to start up, now it won’t run because I have screen recording software that I use for work not even running. Seriously?

  • deborah_abelha Deborah Avelino (@deborah_abelha) reported

    @valkilmer Please, where or when can I stream it in the UK? Only on nowTV? Please, Help! Love your work since the 80’s!

  • rubyskyeruby skye ! (@rubyskyeruby) reported

    Nowtv is literally the worst broadband I literally hate them forever

  • isoskramer Isosceles Kramer: Cosmic Hobo (@isoskramer) reported

    @UncleBeard1978 Keeping getting calls from my aunt about how to get NowTV on her telly. I can't work blind.

  • TerrySinnett Terry Sinnett (@TerrySinnett) reported

    @mlz1962 @NOWTV I need some pro help here, by the sounds of it!

  • francisnotfrank Francis (@francisnotfrank) reported

    My mother’s NOWTV was hacked and she text me to demand that I log out IMMEDIATELY despite me stating I’ve been at work all day. Why did she assume it was me? “They were watching Bad Girls Club and that sounds like something you’d watch”. Thanks Liz.

  • Kirsten90882666 K (@Kirsten90882666) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam When contacting live chat the person said that this is a issue that a lot of customers are having right now! But can’t tell me when it will be sorted out! Asked if I had to get back in contact with nowtv and got told…not really!! What a poor service

  • HannahGravett Hannah Gravett (@HannahGravett) reported

    Nowtv on is currently appalling experience on desktop. Play a show for 2 minutes and a laptop sounds like it’s going to take flight. Sooooo frustrating given the price especially when it has all the best shows😩 Worst usability in the gameeeee
