    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

    @NOWHelpTeam NowTV with boost looks HORRIBLE. Everything is glossy & looks like a creepy advert. I want some of the Boost features… actually only ONE, which is the No Adverts. The 5.1 doesn’t work. I use a Fire TV stick and a Samsung built in app. Can I turn the horrible HD off?

  • ClaireNoodle01 Claire❤afc (@ClaireNoodle01) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam my nowtv isn’t working keeps freezing and stopping connection says excellent I’ve changed my stick to the box from downstairs and same issue can you help please?!

  • b28MyLunch b28MyLunch (@b28MyLunch) reported

    Bro it’s so funny that I’m getting constant buffering watching NowTV (owned by Sky and I use Virgin broadband) But the second I switch to my bedroom’s router, no issues Yeah bro, love ‘free markets’ where you get throttled for using other companies’ products

  • AntoniaKimbell Antonia Kimbell (@AntoniaKimbell) reported

    Why does @NOWTV_It crash on a mac so often. I've uninstalled the app and can't redownload it now. Going to cancel my sub at this rate. Not happy. #NowTV

  • MrApocalypse_92 Mr Apocalypse. (@MrApocalypse_92) reported

    @1886_blog Have had both, NowTV gives you the flexibility of no contract, you don't quite get the picture quality and you will be delayed on live tv as it is a streaming service but its an option. I switched to IPTV service at the beginning of the year and haven't looked back. Saved so much

  • pv1004 pv1004 (@pv1004) reported

    Watching NowTV Top groups of the 70s, cant believe how awful, simpering and wooden some like Dawn, Middle of the Road, Brotherhood of Man etc. were. Absolute slush but some goodies in there as well like Bowie, T Rex etc. #pop #rock

  • zz_habit ZZ♡ (@zz_habit) reported

    trying to get nowtv to work is like slamming your head against a brick wall istg

  • Litbooks1 Litbooks (@Litbooks1) reported

    Well… since NowTV has decided they don’t want to fix the internet issue in my area I guess… hopefully I’ll stream this weekend? Hopefully the outage will end soon Prayge

  • penguinoni Leonie 💙 ☘️ 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 (@penguinoni) reported

    @Crazier I can’t help thinking it’s a way of making us pay for viewing like Sky/Nowtv & do away with licence fee

  • Misty2k Misty Scott (@Misty2k) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam It is not low quality streaming that is the issue. It is that the 1080p is horrible. Looks freakish and unnatural. And it is Only NOWtv that looks terrible, no other streaming service.
