  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • chef247patrick patrick efc mc (@chef247patrick) reported from Bolton, England

  • BixWeetabecke Bix Weetabecke (@BixWeetabecke) reported

    @IndigoFast @glasgowswestend UKTV Play didn't need one, but it does now. However, the channels they own that aren't on Freeview or Freesat aren't on it. I know why I have an ITV account. They've brought in an ad-free premium subscription service, which is what a lot of commercial radio stations have done.

  • TheAngelaKnight Angela Knight (@TheAngelaKnight) reported

    @AdamDraper So true. I discovered recently that home VR headsets have been available since 2016, and a survey some time ago provided my first knowledge of them. Up until then I have never seen them advertised on Freeview channels, in free newspapers, or out and about. Conclusion: they're...

    @vtvseries I can't get v on forces tv I have Freeview can you help me please?.V

  • nemo20000 nemo (@nemo20000) reported

    @haroldthimbleby Everything fine until I switched to a mono radio station on Freeview, at which point the sound stopped and stayed off until the TV was rebooted. Weird. Rang Sony. “Never heard of that before” they said. “Try using the RCA audio output sockets”. I rewired my cable, it then worked.

  • angelneptustar angie (@angelneptustar) reported

    @Gina09768111 In the UK, Euronews is available, together with a number of other international news channels, via online video subscription service NewsPlayer+ and alongside Africanews on Freeview channel 271 via the Channelbox free streaming service. Try this!!! xxx

  • Steve_p_photos Steve's Photos - Still firmly European (@Steve_p_photos) reported

    @ScottishJill Oooohhh. I'd better see if I can find that. Mind you, the freeview signal is kind of rubbish here.

  • PoweredByPepsi Ann-Marie Leach (@PoweredByPepsi) reported

    @virginmedia My internet was also a poor service too. I really miss your telly though, not gonna lie. Freeview is not the best.

  • angelneptustar angie (@angelneptustar) reported

    @Gina09768111 @BorisJohnson @euronews Will check if #Euronews is on freeview. Because right now EU in much much worse state than us poor people, they have no vaxes , nor are ppl going to get them. Holland in lockdown, France health system buckling, ditto Germany Hungary, Italy, et al!

  • CasualFisher DJ (@CasualFisher) reported

    @LGUKCare are you gonna bring Freeview Play to the 2020 TVs considering it’s available again on the 2021 sets? Really is a poor showing that All4 is still unavailable on the 2020 models
