    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • CatSlaveUK Slave2Cats 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@CatSlaveUK) reported from Runcorn, England

    @FreeviewAdvice is Freeview down in Halton ?

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @FryFive @All4 It's now literally the only Freeview catch-up service missing. This reflects badly on both LG and Channel 4 now, as ITV Hub, BBC iPlayer and My 5 seemed to have cut a deal, and popped up in the various updates since I purchased the TV.

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @AndyCla05536869 @vimfuego1234 @PrisonPlanet programming (all offset by big profitable productions). Then we add maintaining the infrastructure of Freeview and FreeSat (how the poor and elderly traditionally access television). Oh & writing the scripts. And directing the shows. And editing them. Yeah, sure you could. (2/2)

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    Thank you for your patience whilst we investigate the recent issue seen on some older freeview devices. We are continuing to work on resolving it. We will update when it will be fixed. In the meantime you can still access UKTV Play via other TVs, desktop and mobile.

    @HookClassic I can't get the Welsh channels and the football is on there, so I Have to watch the matches on iPlayer, it's such a pain. I was scrapping with Freeview about this. Apparently the mountains are in the way of the antenna so I get Liverpool TV instead. Awful stuff.

  • BobHampstead Robbie Hampstead (@BobHampstead) reported

    Tried watching normal #freeview #television this evening. Absolute worst ten minutes of my life. Everything is so bloody #mollycoddled to keep everyone happy. Back in my day, if you didn't like something, you changed channel. Absolutely terrible this world has become!

  • UKTVPlay UKTV Play (@UKTVPlay) reported

    @1974craig17 @UKTV @BBCBargainHunt Hi Craig, unfortunately some Freeview Play devices are still impacted by an issue we're experiencing around playback. We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused and are working on fixing this ASAP

    @AdamOnTop97 Hi, Adam. Are you having this issue only on UKTV Play or are you having similar issues on all Freeview Play players? Fraser

  • SunnyL723 SunnyL723 (@SunnyL723) reported

    @lucymirandaward Definitely breaking down barriers. Your comment was my first thought at the time. This is why women's sports needs to be on freeview more often..so much potential for progress.

    @stvplayeruk Have tried 2 different tvs i am on talk talk wifi watching on freeview and going online to stvplayer. No problems with anything else its just the mob doctor! Have you had no other complaints/queries??

    @DanielaNadj I wish the EU would runs a news channel on Freeview. RT did, Al Jazeera does, why not the EU? Euronews is available and OK as far as it goes, but it is quite limited. An opportunity for the EU to develop its own 'World Service'.
