  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @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.

  • 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.

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

    TV breakdown update: Channel 5 now able to restore most services on all platforms. Exception:5 Select still off air on Freeview, but running normally on satellite. Channel 4's services worst affected across the board, although 4seven still running with a rpt of Grand Designs.

  • Gary4W Gary (@Gary4W) reported

    @BBCNews Many in the north east have had freeview outage since 10th August and won’t return until 5th October. Bit bigger story than a few minutes on Saturday !! #bilsdale

  • Gwyn_Dr Gwyn Williams (@Gwyn_Dr) reported

    @JBlairSco @eddsirr @S4C Sky, Freesat, Vigin, S4C Clic and BBC iPlayer are unaffected. The issue only relates to Freeview

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

    @danmooreradio Fire at Red Bee. That's had an impact on playout, on continuity and for Freeview viewers, multiplexing issues (why services have been off for longer on Freeview than on satellite).

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

    Dreadful picture quality for More 4 Freeview viewers in North East England, still off air in other regions. While for others, everything is working fine. Why? That particular part of the Freeview service is regionalised and there are multiplexing issues in some areas.

  • underarm_ace Lee S (@underarm_ace) reported

    @GothboyUK @Channel4 @SkyHelpTeam C4 has had problems all evening. Still off air in HD on Freeview here.

  • farmfriendlincs Farmers Friend (@farmfriendlincs) reported

    All Freeview @Channel4 stations have just crashed! Never had that happen before.

  • Marc_Again Marc. AGAIN! (@Marc_Again) reported

    @VAS6323 She's on Freeview, but likes all of that treasure hunter crap. I just daisy chain them all together for her, and she now has 7 "potential tuners" Just like my old man, "maximum potential"

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

    Why is S4C showing E4 on Freeview in Wales? On Freeview, S4C is normally bundled together with Channel 4's signal where it replaces E4. E4 in Wales is bundled with other commercial services, where it replaces GREAT! Movies Action. (1/2)

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    @JBlairSco @S4C S4C is broadcasting, but the company that is responsible for distribution via Freeview has had a fire and when attempting to restore services seems to have made a mistake. It’s affected BBC to a less extent, the C5 family who are in recovery mode and C4 which is worst affected.
