    @NOWTV my sky sport mobile pass is not working! It has only ever worked once, please can you help

  • 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.

  • 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’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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    @NOWTV @NOWSport After 2 days worth of emails you advise me my issue has been escalated. 3 days after that you emailed me to say you haven't heard back from me!?!? Emailed you back 5 days ago to ask what's going on - no response #NowTV is a joke...

  • Walldanzig Dan Wall (@Walldanzig) reported

    @NOWTV how do I get in touch with you guys every road says speak to an agent every click there after goes to a help topic that doesnt help not an agent

  • brookegrahamm Brooke Graham (@brookegrahamm) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Can someone help me before I punch the tv. I had 2 nowtv sticks, neither of them will log in to Disney+ it keeps coming up with this message (attached photo). I am subscribed and it works perfectly fine on my amazon fire stick it’s only now tv?

  • LastSingleGirI 😷 LSG 😷 (@LastSingleGirI) reported

    @NotSoSlummy @CollieBobbles @skytv I have had all sorts of problems lately, both with my wifi connectivity and mini box. I'm so tired of it. And I pay a fortune for the privilege. I think you can get sky sports on NowTV? Probably BT sport as well. Not sure what I would go for instead though.

  • RupertBearsArse Rupert Bear (@RupertBearsArse) reported

    @NOWTV I’m planning on ditching this rip off merchant. All day with no access to it and no refund of acknowledgment from Now that there is even a problem. Shockingly bad customer service.

  • johngreenemusic John Greene Music 💙 #FBPE (@johngreenemusic) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @NOW I solved this problem by installing a Roku stick & investing in the 'Boost' 1080 upgrade. There remains a REAL issue between Sky/NowTV and earlier versions of Chromecast however and it would be helpful if you could resolve it AND inform customers such as myself of its existence.

  • pabosher Phillipe Bosher (VO with Home Studio) (@pabosher) reported

    Is there a streaming service with a worse UI and UX than NOWtv? God, it’s awful.

  • CharPast Enya Past (@CharPast) reported

    @TalkTalk are actually useless. Not only have they removed the only boost my grandad uses. TCM. But refused to send out an engineer. The nowtv they have replaced it won't work on his box and their customer service is drivel! He's 82. #Useless

  • pabosher Phillipe Bosher (VO with Home Studio) (@pabosher) reported

    @JennSandercock Oh god that’s awful. Nowtv does something similar by CONSTANTLY forgetting where you are, after minutes not weeks, not auto playing the next episode, garbage search functionality, and just damn. Blargh.

  • ScottyPetterson Scott Peterson (@ScottyPetterson) reported

    @NOWTV took a whole day off work yesterday, engineer didn't even show up? Not even a phone call.
