  • palyniam Paul O'Flynn (@palyniam) reported from Gildersome, England

    @HumaxUK only had this fvp-500t since 7th may 20 and its on the blink, freezes, losing recorded programs and Freeview is so slow. Has updates April 2019 but still poor. I would not recommend this at all.

  • NeelyFanForever ☘️NeelyFanTerry ☘️ (@NeelyFanForever) reported from Garforth, England

    @MaddFan1 Same thing happened to me a few years ago, I was quite happy watching @AJEnglish on Freeview and then suddenly it went on to freeview HD, which my box wasn't. My problem was finally solved when they started broadcasting live on Youtube.

  • NEFamilyFun Sam Rickelton | North East Family Fun (@NEFamilyFun) reported from Leeds, England

    @Sharon43068108 Very annoying! They are now showing the same match on BBC 1 AND 2. We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

  • ElGaineseo Simon 💙💛 (@ElGaineseo) reported from Leeds, England

    @Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV @PhilipsCare I recently purchased a Philips Ambilight 55PUS8204/12 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant does it support Freeview play as I can't get the apps to work.

  • SLCollindridge Sean Collindridge (@SLCollindridge) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @AmazonHelp I bought a Freeview PVR on my new Argos but have since decided I don't want it. It's still ready for collection at the Huddersfield store. What can I do to cancel this and have my card refunded

  • Dc03Ker Dave Cocker (@Dc03Ker) reported from Gildersome, England

    Pensioners, our TV broke down today, just ordered our first ever HD Freeview TV, paid a TV Licence for 50 years so why not embrace this technology we have paid the BBC for all these year @DefundBBC

    @Emmalouisajones @SkyNews Poor retro-protest. You can't cancel Sky News. It's on Freeview.

  • NathanChorley nathan (@NathanChorley) reported

    @BeeBelindaSmith @FreeviewAdvice Hi I've also lost Sony channel on freeview.. Is this a known issue?

  • befriendabacter Matt Lloyd Jones (@befriendabacter) reported

    @MilesKing10 I think they discontinued iPlayer/4OD support for PS3 so might be this. Freeview box might be a workaround?

  • Poli5h1 Poli5h (@Poli5h1) reported

    @AaronBastani @Nigel_Farage Talking **** about Vietnam that don't even bother testing or probably havent heard about COVID as they have no BBC on freeview.

  • Jz20193 n54 (@Jz20193) reported

    Got the live video through Twitter now but jeez man . I’ve watched this happen to a few things I watched I hope yous can overturn given yous are a official radio station. I’ll keep watching but can’t help thinking being on freeview like talksport could help the country massively

  • Pickat33 Mrs Slocombe (@Pickat33) reported

    @Article1066 @HookyGolfer I rang sky to ask to have bbc/itv removed but they just said it’s a freeview service and they can’t. It’s annoying as I pay for prime, Netflix and Disney

  • AdeCarrMusic Ade Carr (@AdeCarrMusic) reported

    @MrSugden2 Netflix, freeview just shockingly crap.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @gsvalentine @steveboswell I've also seen TVs that won't support MHEG Text in Freeview Play mode, but happily show it when connected to a satellite feed. (2/2)

  • Jayne82526450 🎈Jayney🎈 (@Jayne82526450) reported

    @photomikeyhere @ajcdeane Freeview has to be the worst - hundreds of channels and nothing on any of them!!

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @steveboswell @gsvalentine 2013/14 Samsungs certainly did - support for MHEG-IC was part of getting certified with Freeview HD logo.

  • Jpofgwynedd Jeremiah Savant 🕯️ 🦠 (@Jpofgwynedd) reported

    @mattprescott @OakNational Someone may have mentioned it, but not all Freeview channels are available everywhere: either the network will need a massive boost, or certain universally received stations will need to be co-opted during school hours.
