  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • QueerWrestling Davey🏳️‍🌈 (@QueerWrestling) reported

    @manizhkin @Iightuptheroom They dropped the junior eurovision like a bad habit after 3 years. Channel 4, I could see being a good alternatively. Even Sky, to an extent. Who have the option of putting it one of their freeview channels to get around the restriction of non sky subscribers.

  • Mike2677024465 Mike_in_Yorkshire (@Mike2677024465) reported

    @argentstwarrio1 @Jessrocks71 @GBNEWS No freeview signal where I am, hoping it will be on sky/freesat soon.

  • VirtuaMcPolygon Rob Farmer (@VirtuaMcPolygon) reported

    @tomhfh Is it going to be a proper channel on freeview or one of those terrible internet streaming channels ?

  • MerpsOver9000 TYC_merp (@MerpsOver9000) reported

    @BlackPanthaaYT @lomadia The app on the family polaroid tv sucks but we got a Freeview box and the app on there works fine. I like watching videos on my laptop but when listening to music I prefer chrome casting to the tv

  • RobDeNormandie Rob (@RobDeNormandie) reported

    @MsResJudicata @PlainVa86760081 @getyourgoals16 Projectors are brilliant, under the coffee table with the freeview box or whatever source you use, run an audio lead to your HI fi and project on to any plain painted wall. The one issue is the leads across the carpet, the upside is a huge screen, and when it's off its invisible.

  • Crocidolite11 Crocidolite (@Crocidolite11) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Yep will be doing. Just noticed you’ve also put up my bill to over £100 now without any notice. I’ll contact to cancel you can come collect your equipment and I’ll go freeview. Absolutely shocking prices.

  • Dave_Cotterill1 In Search Of Dave (@Dave_Cotterill1) reported

    @LozMccarthy @bakerstherald @Clarethemuse Freeview channel 236? That's ok, I don't click down that far.

  • brundellfilimou Mike Benjamin (@brundellfilimou) reported

    @talkRADIO @mrmarkdolan The alternative funding. A wholly subscription model can’t be applied to radio and there is no UK news service not on freeview. So you could phase out the licence fee over and allow the BBC to compete for adv and sponsorship. I bet that will go down well with News Corp.

  • pdockerty Paul Dockerty - 🇬🇧 (@pdockerty) reported

    Does anyone know if @GBNEWS will be available through Sky Q? Or will I need to flip the TV to freeview (which I never do normally) to watch it?

  • Oldcynic9 GrannyB. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @GBNEWS @jf_hanley I'm really upset we won't be able to watch on our bedroom freeview tv as our signal is from a relay transmitter & not a main transmitter. We only have virgin on the main downstairs TV. 😡
