    @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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • nebskii nebskii 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🐝 (@nebskii) reported from Urmston, England

    The @NOWTV app has stopped working on my @LGUK smartTV, getting error PL-0 whenever I try to play content. Any solution other than resetting the TV to factory settings (NOT doing that as I'll lose my other app data)? Tried reinstalling app, no fix.

  • b3ena Beena Mistry (@b3ena) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • Bleasedog Ian Blease | Dodgers Win! (@Bleasedog) reported from Manchester, England

    @NOWHelpTeam i just said i want the problem to be fixed, i dont want to go through further troubleshooting, i know people that are hard of hearing that have had endless problems with nowtv and as such refuse to use it what do i have to do to convince you the problem is yours to fix not mine?

  • joe_brennan11 Joe Brennan (@joe_brennan11) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam trying to switch from old nowtv app to new one on Apple TV. Won’t let me sign in as it counts towards 2 ‘device’ changes per month (which I’ve already used) even though it’s the same device??? Can’t use it until Tuesday now?

  • HarleybachBach Harley Bach (@HarleybachBach) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam without fobbing me we off with the usual sanctimonious bullshit, can you fix the ongoing issues with NowTV. It's not cheap and see little reason for paying for crap pictures , drop outs and constant buffering. An ex before you start, yes, I have done all the usual

  • johnefitch John Fitch (@johnefitch) reported

    @angiesandys @NOWHelpTeam Hi I have the same issue, watching Europa League final on BT Sport 1 on NowTV box using BT Sport app, after 10s goes to green screen with pixelated noise at top. Same on BT Sport 2. Fault only occurring on the NowTV box, resorted to Youtube feed in UHD, which was perfect. Fix??

  • annkempster dachshANNd (@annkempster) reported

    What the ever loving **** have NowTV done to their app? The old one was bad enough but this is unusable.

  • kemisola // Kemi ⚫🕷#Rejoiner (@kemisola) reported

    SO I updated the software on my @LGUK (as it wanted) and now my @NOWTV app doesn't work properly. It was replaying earlier programs (making me think that the schedule had changed), then crashed and won't now start up at all (yes, I've turned it off and on again).

  • hannahfrances94 Hannah Willmott (@hannahfrances94) reported

    @NOWTV @NOWTVHelp can someone explain why your mistake leaves me without Internet and unable to work from home for the next week? And why it seems physically impossible to escalate the issue and get an engineer out sooner?

  • Nehal87686159 Nehal (@Nehal87686159) reported

    @NOWTV I am having trouble with broadband, stopped working half hour ago, no Internet in the house, please get in touch to sort it out

  • thomasbyrne77 Thomas Byrne (@thomasbyrne77) reported

    Anyone else’s NOWTV crash at the moment? Sat down to watch the friends reunion and error messages coming up on my smart tv, won’t let me cast either 😭
