    @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.

  • Dc03Ker Dave Cocker (@Dc03Ker) reported from Gildersome, England

    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

  • 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.

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

    @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)

  • SJIFreddyFan82 Sarah Jane Illingworth 😷💗 (@SJIFreddyFan82) reported from Castleford, England

    I 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.

  • 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.

  • greenkingdog steve green (@greenkingdog) reported

    bad atmospherics in London are causing a lot of Freeview channels to mess up BBC London, but because I am high up I can pick up BBC south and the reception is so much better

  • smogski74 Phil Parkes (@smogski74) reported

    No tv signal... this bilsdale transmitter has alot to answer for..where can I get the freeview

  • JeremyBennett JeremyBennett (@JeremyBennett) reported

    @MartinSLewis Amazon Prime and Netflix ! I clicked Amazon Prime above, because it is included in the delivery service so is effectively "free". We don't have Sky as we cancelled that many many years ago. We use iPlayer, 4OD, ITVOD, etc quite a bit too. For terrestrial we use HD Freeview.

  • Beverle51995260 Foxy Bev 🦊 🦊 (@Beverle51995260) reported

    @arch1com Me. Freeview is crap, two different channels with Jaws 2 on at one point. Gone back to watching my DVDs. I've got a huge collection 👍

  • tormid1951 norman kebell (@tormid1951) reported

    @williamjohnmcl3 I only realised it was on Freeview. Still never nor will ever watch it #ScottishIndependence6

  • EddieRobson Eddie Robson (1969 Glyn Johns Mix) (@EddieRobson) reported

    @prkirkley We never get those here! Not sure why but we only get about 90% of Freeview on our transmitter, so there are a few channels we don't get (CBeebies HD and Freesports too). Maybe they're also the most likely to go down elsewhere?

  • Pogit Richard Adams (@Pogit) reported from Lincoln District, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’m asking if its coming to Freeview Play, why would Sky know that? The BBC have said it’s coming to internet connected TV services (including Sky Glass). Freeview Play is an internet connected TV service it not? One not limited by manufacturer unlike Sky’s service.

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

    The sat backup combines Freeview multiplex BBC-A and BBC-B, without the full selection of BBC English Regions, so relays that fall back on satback may offer 'the wrong local news' until normal service returns. It's also very popular in Spain for reasons I won't go in to here...

  • SynthTee Synth - They/He/Xe (@SynthTee) reported

    @bxr0kenx it honestly wasnt a bad kids show from what i remmeber LOL. do you remember pop and kix (pop max) too? freeview things xx

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

    @EvanD @cleanfeed_ttvr @Channel4 It is. C4 usually carry two subtitle feeds. One teletext feed and one DVB subtitle feeds. Sky boxes still support teletext (even if subtitles is the only application left) Freesat devices support DVB subtitles only (same as Freeview incidentally).
