  • 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...😳

  • 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

    @furbabygirl Things are going to be so bad for me this winter that I am going to have to forsake my upgrade to a Crapple iPhone 15 pro plus and watch Freeview instead of HULU, paramount +, Netflix and SKY Sport. I don't think I will survive past Grimbletide!

  • nxthan_7 nathan🏴‍☠️ (@nxthan_7) reported

    @Shannxo @ah99_____ And people seems to forget you can’t always go to matches for loads of different reasons like work, childcare, financial. The 3pm blackout should be abolished and the 3pm games should be broadcast on freeview

  • Bobbiburnss bubbles (@Bobbiburnss) reported

    I’m ditching Virgin - I’m being fed repeats & Bullshit TV….much of which is on Freeview & Free-sat etc., what is going on? Terminated my contract over a yr ago in writing and they ignored me? No landline 4 over a yr. WTF? And the Legalities? I’m going Commando!

  • LMurphyy Lewis Murphy (@LMurphyy) reported

    @bt_uk Just ordered, as previously had a failed install due to weak aerial signal. Are the freeview channels now over internet available to be recorded? Thanks

  • rutty_uk Dave Rutt (@rutty_uk) reported

    @LeadTestInclude We canned Virgin to go with Freeview plus Now Entertainment package. Still fairly cheap I guess. Just about enough programming that isn’t covered elsewhere. The NowTV box we have is rubbish. Awful interface (but it works - no channel numbers for freeview channels)

  • pratab_a Pratab Ali (@pratab_a) reported

    🙏 @4Viewers @All4 for LiveTV mode on your app. Freeview TV signal decides to be unstable just when I want to watch channel 4! #BelgianGP

  • BenJohn45874515 Ben Johnson (@BenJohn45874515) reported

    I've got a LG telly. Problem is that everytime I turn the telly back on, after it being off overnight, it comes on in Freeview mode. Freeview is the "Live TV" setting. If I change that setting to Freesat then it comes back on with whatever I was watching last. Why?

  • kirstyharrod Kirsty 🌈 (@kirstyharrod) reported

    Has anyone bought a new tv recently? My mum bought a Freeview Logik Android TV recently and it’s absolutely trash. Loads so slowly, can’t record anything. Are cheap TVs just **** now???

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @PidginPosting to be expected for Gobby Bigot News, the **** channel has been deleted from my freeview recorders.
