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

  • 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’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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • MrsSherrec Mandy Sheridan (@MrsSherrec) reported from Warrington, England

    @NOWTV thanks to your poor quality streaming, I has to watch the last two minutes of the F1 qualifying through a blurry picture

  • MrsSherrec Mandy Sheridan (@MrsSherrec) reported from Warrington, England

    @jammylubbe @NOWTV Apparently it was everyone’s broadband that was the problem. Just been speaking to their so called help

  • SophiePrior16 Sophie Prior (@SophiePrior16) reported from Wigan, England

    Anyone else having issues with @NOWTV stick not connecting to the Internet?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • jonnyvstheworld Jonny (@jonnyvstheworld) reported

    So even after closing down all devices with @NOWTV on I still get the error saying I'm streaming elsewhere and now missed the start of the F1. Thanks

  • BooQuarantine Her house, My rules (@BooQuarantine) reported

    @NOWTV I have been paying for sky cinema for months and every time I try to watch a film it errors out. I have been paying fir nothing. Please advise as I have been kicked out of two live chats and my complaint also keeps erroring out ?

  • thecarbloke Tyler Heatley (@thecarbloke) reported

    @Cam_EOTD @NOWTV I used to pay £17 for the F1 channel, then there was an additional fee for HD, plus more if you wanted it in 4K. Crazy as it’s all shot in 4K and more effort to downgrade the quality.

  • 10YearsAsleep Mart Zed (@10YearsAsleep) reported

    Hey @NOWTV this concurrency error I’m getting when I’m streaming on zero devices is really impressive. Roll back the device limit you imposed which causes this. Thanks for taking my cash though. Cannot recommend the current service.

  • kaill_adrian Adrian Kaill (@kaill_adrian) reported

    @NOWTV your app keeps crashing via BT...can't see after match analysis...getting error message PL-0...I'm paying for this service so sort it out or I want a refund...

  • EndOfTheWedge Damascus Crowe (@EndOfTheWedge) reported

    @NatGeoUK why is it that at 23:05 every night, without fail, the quality of your broadcast massively drops? Doesn’t matter if we’re using a @amazonfiretv stick or on pc, it always gets worse and changing the channel or resetting the @NOWTV app doesn’t do anything.

  • daveynix daveynix (@daveynix) reported

    @ofcom ..but (following 20 day wait for ADSL provision) NOWTV advise they *still cannot switch and retain number* because their line uses “non-Sky equipment” (despite being current Sky customers) Initially, NOWTV said issue was they were IP telephony users (they were not) (2)

  • AntarisZX Matthew Abbott (@AntarisZX) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Define 'widespread'. There's about 20 miles between Worthing, Hove and Brighton where multiple people are reporting issues, all at the same time. Surely that warrants a review by your engineering team? #F1 coverage starts soon, and still no Internet for my NowTV access

  • Vinc3timb3 Vinnie (@Vinc3timb3) reported

    Is there an issue with @NOW ? I am trying to stream a show but it says I have reached the maximum number of streaming devices. Which is 2? I have 3 devices where 2 of 3 are not watching anything, so what’s going on? #nowtv #now

  • wookieewanderer Wookiee Wanderer (@wookieewanderer) reported

    @jonnyvstheworld @NOWTV @NOW same problem - and I have Boost so I should be able to have 3 x steams at once - not happy
