    @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.

  • 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)

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

    Crap- the Smithsonian Channel now no longer available on Freeview now either...

  • originalmagoo Migwell Magoo (@originalmagoo) reported

    @DinkNewman @SmithsonianTVUK I had same problem. Bit of digging showed that channel stopped showing on Sky and Freeview on 6 jan. Very disappointed as I loved the channel

  • DinkNewman Dink670 #TeamLH44 #IStandWithLewisHamilton🇺🇦 (@DinkNewman) reported

    @SmithsonianTVUK please help! I want to watch on Freeview play but channel 56 is showing as 5Select and not you! Any ideas?

  • gz4216 SevenDaysToNoon (@gz4216) reported

    @Josneat @FreeviewAdvice I’m betting it’s the usual high pressure issue. When I lose my Freeview I use a link I’ve got saved to a high pressure map. If it’s high. That’s the reason it’s down. No point in contacting Freeview “support” as they are about as much use as a chocolate ashtray on a motorcycle!

  • M1KE_HARRIS Mike 🇬🇧🚀🍴 (@M1KE_HARRIS) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp It's not resolved at all. Sharp aquos tv and JVC tv. Tried playing through freeview play and casting via Samsung s22 Ultra. This app is terrible! It happens on no other. Disney plus, Amazon video, Netflix all work fine as do the ones on Freeview play.

  • WarriorqueenThe WarriorQueen 🇬🇧 🇺🇲 #MAGA2024 (@WarriorqueenThe) reported

    Why is @GBNews no longer showing on📺 Freeview 236 on my TV? Has something changed? Is anyone else having problems?

  • 61harpy harpy61@todon.eu (@61harpy) reported

    Bought a new telly before Christmas, because my 6 year old one stopped working. Upgraded to 32" android TV with Freeview but reception is terrible, & wireless isn't 100%. New cable got more channels, but still lousy quality, & upgraded broadband not available for my address. :(

  • Khrissy6unnell Chrissy Gunnell (@Khrissy6unnell) reported from Darlington, England

    What a really cheeky naughty way 2get numbers onto this @ITVX putting top flight footy onto either itv4,which doesnt have HD on normal freeview never mind UHD or ITVx which we can't record & haV 2 sit & put up with all the adverts which make U a fortune yet no investment into 4k!

  • FreeFilmsUK FreeFilms UK (@FreeFilmsUK) reported

    Poor luck, tonight's showing of Killer of Sheep (1977) starring Martin Lawrence as Miss Piggy has been abandoned due to a lack of basic human decency. #freeview

  • dmodeboy Stevie 🏳️‍🌈 (@dmodeboy) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi. I'm in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and my freeview is pretty unwatchable. I keep retuning but it makes no difference. Earlier I had no ITV which is ridiculous. Can you please help?
