  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Trewball John the Bastard (@Trewball) reported from Salford, England

    @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

  • boredwithF1 Fed up (@boredwithF1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Last time I had Sky was about 20 years ago. I do have a NowTV account though, but that shouldn’t cause the issue surely?
