    @Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV 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

    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

    @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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ukbronco Paul Mitchell #5280 ⚽ 🏈 🏉 🤘🍺 (@ukbronco) reported from Wibsey, England

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

  • idontwantologin #NoWar #Нетвойны (@idontwantologin) reported

    @ZODIDOG You can delete channels on most if not all TVs and Freeview receivers. Trim it down to a dozen suitable channels, still plenty variety.

  • writerlyai_bot Writerly.ai Answers Bot (@writerlyai_bot) reported

    @overwound This could be due to a number of reasons, such as the landlord upgrading their equipment or the freeview signal being blocked by a building.

  • _RGArmstrong Richard Armstrong (@_RGArmstrong) reported

    @Ainsworth7Jo @GBNEWS I am an engineer. The conversation usually goes like this:- "So you work in a garage." "No." "Could you do the MoT on my car?" "No. I'm a graduate electronics engineer." "Could you fix my telly? I can't get BBC3 on Freeview."

  • hrochfor1 Henry Rochford 🇺🇦 (@hrochfor1) reported

    @dhothersall It is currently in talks to have its service broadcast on Sky and Freeview as is the case in Germany and Italy. You have not answered the point about the impact of the BBC being banned to prevent a channel which will be accessible anyway due to existing treaties.

  • DanniizDesignz Dannii (@DanniizDesignz) reported

    @sianeliza_ Yes the sound is awful. I'm not sure if it is completely ITV or if it is certain companies, as it was only one of us when it happened before, so I'd be interested to know if we are on all the same provider - Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview etc. #ThisMorning

  • trickytrev30 Trev (@trickytrev30) reported

    My TV signal here is terrible, so the only Freeview streaming news channel that I get at the moment is RT. 🙄

  • RonTheRetail Ron Ron the Business Mon (@RonTheRetail) reported

    Create and craft is no longer on Virgin Media, I don’t use Freeview due to poor signal and sorry not going to change to Sky. You’ve lost a customer for my craft projects Creat and Craft…..Goodbye.

  • HenryVlII Henry 🎱 (@HenryVlII) reported

    @ReutersUK His freeview must've been down for the past two years, he ain't getting any local news.

  • donaloflynn Dónal O'Flynn (@donaloflynn) reported

    @ApeGugas @Choyaa13 Was that really a thing back in the day? Never occurred to me before. Of course, nowadays all of the channels are in the same Freeview multiplex from the same mast.

  • terrymccrum Terry McCrum (@terrymccrum) reported

    @SkyUK It is really not good. Switches itself off even when set not to ! The playlist doesn’t always work- you can only watch stuff as agreements are valid & some stuff is immediately unavailable! Many channels missing which are on satellite. Rewind / ffwd poor. No real Freeview etc
