Simon 💙💛 (@ElGaineseo) reported from Leeds, England@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.

☘️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.

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.

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.

Charles Stuart (@FurryfeaturesUK) reported@lippyent Star Trek (TOS). Every weekday evening when I’m not working on Legend, Freeview channel 41.
-
Tom (@TomCushnie) reported@mart_stead @SW18_67FC @johnrobinson07 It's not more saturated too, it's shot in a Full Range and de-converted down to Standard Range to fit in our poor freeview infrastructure, it makes red and yellows considerably crushed. That's why the Holland game looked the worse so far
-
David Carroll (@DavidCarrollIr1) reportedIf you are a born-again Christian but have no church to go to, try watching the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN) on the United Kingdom's Freeview 94. It is also available 24/7 online, and on the radio in the USA. It is sound teaching, services, and worship.
-
Tom (@TomCushnie) reported@x20mjs @AvonandsomerRob The World Cup feed is full range HDR and because our infrastructure is so far behind technlogy they crush the colours into a limited range to fit into Freeview. Red and yellows look really bad with this. Although it looks like BBC are handling the picture better
-
KennyBilly (@KeepingKen) reportedOver 13 million households across the UK currently rely on Freeview - and residents could be forced to fork out an additional £20 monthly and potentially purchase a new television set if the service is discontinued, experts have cautioned.

i am a boy of the eighties (@gilililibo99902) reportedThat's 80s was a 24-hour music television channel from That's TV that played 1980s music hits. It closed its linear broadcast on Sky and Freeview on February 28, 2026, but continues as a streaming service on FAST platforms like Rakuten TV and Pluto TV
-
Jon Smith (@jonsmithUC) reported@RidgeandFrost @WilfredFrost Once Freeview is turned off by this Government, ITV under American ownership will be a subscription model streaming service.
-
South Wales Pragmatist (@WalesPragmatist) reported@alunsays @EnglandRugby Not in HD on Freeview. For a premium match it's a poor effort from ITV, like watching TV in the 90s...
-
Michael Clarkson (@ria_747) reported@Stephencheatley @virginmedia Just get freeview or freesat, Stephen. I’ve got Virgin media broadband and to be fair I’ve never had any problems.

Selene Mariposa (@Selene_Mariposa) reported@LillacTyanu This is the most accurate breakdown in the thread, so thank you. You are right, the fee is for live TV, Freeview comes preloaded, and if you never connect the aerial or watch live you do not owe it. They can chase you, but the burden is on them to prove you watched. That nuance is the whole ballgame. The fee leans on people not knowing they already have the exit. You clearly do. 🦋
