Unable to watch live programming

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Unable to watch live TLC Go shows for 2 days.
  • - Uninstalled the app 3 times and relinked the internet, with no live support.
TLC - Unable to watch live programming

In the last 2 days, I've been unable to watch live shows on TLC go. I have uninstalled the app 3 times, relinked my Internet provider twice and it still doesn't work!

I called the only customer service number I could find and you can't speak to a live person! The recorded message indicates a form must be completed first.

Are you kidding me? It's really frustrating.

User's recommendation: Better trouble shooting options should be available for customers regarding apps.

Neglect and abuse

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - TLC nursing in Burlington has issues.
  • - Two workers allegedly abused residents, and one is under investigation for license misuse.
  • - Staff sleep on the job.

I have had the displeasure of working with employees of TLC nursing in Burlington for more than 5 years. At my last job in St Albans there were 2 people that abused residents, one that was investigated turned out to be not who she said she was and was working on someone elses license.

One resident said she had endured the abuse and not said anything because she thought the girl with the nose job would kill her.

Everyone Ive worked with sleeps on the job , they are told not to and reported but they wont wake up, we work alone so often. This company needs to be investigated.

Cons:
  • Poor coworkers for regular staff

Preferred solution: The company does not train or vet their employees well enough

User's recommendation: Do not hire them

Sweepstakes Entry

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

When entering contests where TLC is the secondary entry, the connection is not made and the TLC site does not provide entry to sweepstakes ($5k). This is an obvious programming error.

Preferred solution: Correct sweepstakes Entry

Stop showing Shantel from Atlanta. Her removal of her birthmark isn’t something the public want to see. Move on to something interesting

I just cannot watch that Angela abuses Abby, the body and her foul mouse. If you dont remove her, Im out.
