    @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

  • 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!

  • yourmancman1 KoM Cazzer (@yourmancman1) reported from Salford, England

    Trying to watch prog on @NOWTV_It / any idea why it’s not working ? #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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Nomio1984 Naomi Jewitt (@Nomio1984) reported from Oldham, England

    @NOW Hi, we have a nowtv box (wired wifi connection) and it’s still not working this morning

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • Rollie187 Rahul/Rollie (@Rollie187) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Not used it today, but was awful during the game last night. Had to reset the TV twice during the first half as the app crashed. Actually missed the first goal. Not the first time it has happened using NowTV for big matches either.

  • Baldy_Baldy_ Baldy (@Baldy_Baldy_) reported

    @NOW Think how much better it would be in 4K? Instead NowTV are still streaming in a quality that was available in the last century, 24 years ago! And then have the audacity to charge extra for a quality first released 15 years ago! Sort it out.

  • TotoMimoTweets Tommy Millar (@TotoMimoTweets) reported

    @NOW I was pretty miffed to realise the NOWTV App caps out at a **2002-grade** 720p, unless you're willing to pay £5 extra a month to go to **2005-grade** 1080p. The REAL kicker? This paid, premium app HAS AD BREAKS. Avoid at all costs. Shambolic quality for the money, folks.

  • AngryFrogX Angry Frog (@AngryFrogX) reported

    @NOWTV #nowtv why is NowTV the only app still that buffers so frequently. I have Prime, Netflix, Disney+, iPlayer etc with no issues. Good solid Internet. People have been moaning about this for months/years. Any plans to fix it?

  • stuartreeves Stuart Reeves (@stuartreeves) reported

    The @BLAZETVUK app is hands down, the worst TV app out there, and that include @NOWTV. The wrong shows are linked with the wrong listing, shows cut off half way through, utterly amateurish!!

  • TendaiHorton TKH 🇿🇼🇬🇾🇬🇧 💙 (@TendaiHorton) reported

    @NOWTV app is not working

  • Smithy_TV Smithy (@Smithy_TV) reported

    NowTV may be the worst streaming service I've ever used...

  • MarkSkinner_ Mark Skinner (@MarkSkinner_) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Also - reading through the community help forum - essentially the solution is for me to try and find an undetermined bit of software on my machine, that isn't recording NowTV - and to turn it off... How is that deemed a solution?!?! Please tell your product team to do better?

  • mayvonbonbon SEPTEMBER 8TH VIRGO | 🇩🇲 COZY, in my skin (@mayvonbonbon) reported

    Anyone else having problems with NowTV?

  • squashour Squashour (@squashour) reported

    @PSAWorldTour First glasscourt match of the season - issues already. C'mon folks, you need to be doing a lot better than this. How much is the subscription for live squash? £10.99 per month, more expensive than Netflix, Amazon, NOWtv and only good for 10 months of the year!
