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

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • allhailtwit Allan Hailstone (@allhailtwit) reported

    @MoneySavingExp I switched from Virgin because of constant problems, including failure to collect my direct debit. Am now with Freeview which is great value for money!

  • paperdoll73 Marina Lindsay 💙🌊🎶🌳🇸🇪🇬🇧 (@paperdoll73) reported

    @AdrianEdmondson Not a streaming service, but Channel 81 on Freeview @TalkingPicsTV shows classic films and documentaries all day.

  • BertieTheCat1 Bertie Cole (@BertieTheCat1) reported

    @ghost_wales We`ve got freeview and a TV licence and that`s enough. Humum discovered Sky was crap nearly 20 years ago, still thinks the same !

  • rottenplaice Rottenplaice (@rottenplaice) reported

    @higginsdavidw #cblive and most Irish broadcasting is so utterly terrible and worse value for money I simply don't watch or listen. I watch UK Freeview TV. Irish presenters are overpaid amateurs and frequently I find the female presenters overly focusing on "girlie" issues. It's embarrassing

  • toaoan Maiden Auntie (@toaoan) reported

    @chronicjayne @ITV So frustrating, but I have seen a couple of people on here say they didn't have any problems watching on Freeview. I was on Sky, how about you?

  • MrJBeardy31 James Beard 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@MrJBeardy31) reported

    @talkRADIO BBC is shite anyway. With Netflix, prime tv and other freeview channels who has time to watch the garbage they put out.

  • itstrisha_innit Trish R (@itstrisha_innit) reported

    @culleyTC I can’t get any freeview signal in my area. I only get the strongest channels which are the original 5

  • Bohemoth Bohemoth (@Bohemoth) reported

    @AnasSarwar If the TV licence was abolished and replaced with paid ads, the option to subscribe would be there and the elderly could simply have freeview. NO TV LICENCE and you could concentrate on real issues. This is like NO. 1050 on the list of things needing addressed. Get SNP OUT!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @mattohare @UKTVPlay @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, UKTV Play is a catch-up TV app. Freeview is a through aerial service. Freeview doesn't block apps from other parts of the UK. Thanks C

  • danielago danielago (@danielago) reported

    @KarenHu04464593 @FreeviewAU @FinancialReview Did you get a solution Karen? The purple Freeview menu won't disappear from my TV when on channel 9 and some other channels, everytime I exit the app it comes back later on its own accord.
