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

☘️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.

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)

Sarah Jane Illingworth 😷💗 (@SJIFreddyFan82) reported from Castleford, EnglandI feel this thing of channel 4 and 5 and Freeview going down was a publicity stunt to add to all the fuel crisis today. **** you channel 4 and 5.

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.

Dave Cocker (@Dc03Ker) reported from Gildersome, EnglandPensioners, 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

Susie Burton 🇬🇧🏴 (@SusieWBmeme) reportedMy elderly, widowed neighbour struggles to navigate Freeview. Her smart TV supports Netflix, Prime, Sky, but even if she could afford those platforms, she would be terrified of touching a different button on the remote. She sleeps very little and the TV is her only companion. If she can’t return to her familiar menu, she panics. I’ve had desperate calls from her in the evening, petrified that she’s ‘broken’ her TV. She never has, but her swollen arthritic fingers struggle with the tiny, spongy remote buttons. It’s heartbreaking 🥹. The @LabourParty DO NOT GIVE A **** about the vulnerable and elderly. I honestly believe they’re building to a ‘Logan’s Run’ style of totalitarian State 🤬
-
Joseph H Clarke (@clarkejoseph49) reported@aVillainsWorld @Noahgilberto19 And not having Zero hour matches carry over into the Pay Per View. Let’s not forget, some people can’t access PPV in the event of financial issues, internet issues, or being stuck with Freeview.

Maxine, Duchess of Survival 💪🏽🌻🌹💙 (@Maxine2xs) reportedWith Freeview, if your WiFi went down, you could still watch TV. With Freely, this isn't the case. It's horrendous. Maybe I'm imagining things? I wish I was.

RichieBourne72 (@Rb84377821) reported@langerz10 @BBCStokeSport Who ******** has Freeview , I'm at work today and I can't listen to the game cos this lot are to busy blowing smoke up going nowhere stoke cities arses. A disgrace of a nation service

Sam 1997 (@SamGate360) reported@retrovinmania79 @NoContextBrits You don't the difference between Freeview/DVB (which is the morden digital version of what you said) and a streaming service that requires you to make a profile account to use the software/service even though you don't like on YouTube. You only pay to get rid of the adverts.

Presley Turberville (@T21949Presley) reported@BritishComedy One more **** feminist's comedy for the Freeview telly dustbin.

Bryan (@htfc2) reported@MartinAsto6999 @NzFubar TVNZ+ has the WC rights. They are also after the rights for the NRL off sky. According to my local tv aerial guy we have only another 18 months of satellite service left, we latched onto a S.Korean one. Freeview will disappear, everything will have to be subscription.
