  • 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.

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    Hey @NOWTV any idea when the connection issues will be resolved in the south east? We have had intermittent issues all afternoon, then complete no broadband, and now back to intermittent. Lots of reports on Down Detector too.

    @NOWTV is anyone else having issues with their broadband? I’ve checked the lines and it’s all fine but I have no service

  • Tinkz_25 Nyree McDougall (@Tinkz_25) reported

    @NOWTV So if I got a chrome cast and used the app to them stream across to the tv would that work?

  • Tinkz_25 Nyree McDougall (@Tinkz_25) reported

    @NOWTV Even without the app, surely, you can sign in via the internet section though??

  • RoliePolieeOlie Olie (@RoliePolieeOlie) reported

    @nowtvhelp @NOWTV hey is there an issue with now tv app on Samsung TVs playing content at the moment? Tried everything and no luck - on a trial atm and will have to cancel if I can’t get it going.

  • Tachyon0011 Tachyon0011 (@Tachyon0011) reported

    Look out for emails from the Accessibility Team. Emails are received on that case number. Some @NOWTV staff sending emails from the Accessibility Case number tells me to contact the accessibility team on the site. Round in circles. No help from the Accessibility team @nowtvhelp .

  • RPartytime Partytime ⁷♿🏳️‍🌈🌹 (@RPartytime) reported

    Messed around with all possible options with my powerline and didn't think to check for outages. Turns out tons of people are having issues with @NOWTV broadband.

  • Tinkz_25 Nyree McDougall (@Tinkz_25) reported

    @NOWTV Yes it works on phone. It wasn’t but started to work last night so that is ok

  • Tinkz_25 Nyree McDougall (@Tinkz_25) reported
