    @LGUKCare the Freeview program guide is taking up to a minute to load the program schedule on my C9. This should be almost instant. Please help.

  • Katet282 Kate T (@Katet282) reported

    @NationalTheatre with our signal so bad for Sky Arts on Freeview channel11, such a shame you couldn’t broadcast on National Theatre at Home for your avid subscribers too. I’ve given up - too pixelated and jumpy for me to listen any longer 💔

    @NOWHelpTeam Thanks for the info but resetting the box does not help. The new update and software installed is too much for these black boxes. Are you not releasing a better box to support such an update ? The 4k box doesnt have freeview, not sure why it's even a box..... thank you!

    @brianmoore666 Quality of the red button feed on Freeview is very poor. Like watching through the bottom of a beer glass ...

    UK baseball fans let's face it @btsport clearly paid for a number of years' rights and are just seeing it out. They'll lose it like they did the NBA because they've blown all their money on Champions League and now the stupid WWE. Time to get a freeview box and MLBTV #OpeningDay

    @LoosestThe @Womens6Nations @BBCplayerr 601 on freeview, if red button doesn't work

  • VoiceBritannia Broke Britannia (aka Voice Britannia) (@VoiceBritannia) reported

    You know what, #Wrestling is all over UK TV (freeview/FreeSat) but it's advertised terribly! Looking on the EPG today I found WWE NXT UK is on Paramount Network (Thurs), Impact Wrestling on 5star (sat) and PWC on Sports stuff TV (?). There used to be a lot more! #KeepLooking

    I've actually looked at the TV schedule bc it's Easter, I thought they may have done something a little special... Have they ****! I'm so pleased I'm not reliant on freeview 😳 It's streaming & reading, for me forever now I guess...

  • HarryMcCarthy Dr Harry R. McCarthy (@HarryMcCarthy) reported

    @starcrossed2018 @emeramchugh It’s channel 11 on Freeview, but not sure I can help you with the plumbing...

  • SomhairleMM Somhairle Buidhe (@SomhairleMM) reported

    @oshaymoishe1 @alwaysresister 2 1/2, now you remind me - still have an old analogue portable with Freeview set-top box in case of emergency! Also 3 laptops, though that's not half as swanky as it might sound ;-) 1 work, 1 old & this one an embarrassingly bad waste of money... :-/
