  • 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

    @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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • Raxor1Robin Robin Taylor (At home 🏡) (@Raxor1Robin) reported

    Just got some co-axile connecters for my #freeview problem modern ones are not as wide, so they don't work, wish I still had that box of them I had in 1985 but they got lost when we moved house back then. #OhDear

  • hughster Hughster (@hughster) reported

    @vwcampervanaldr They've been paying for ads on it from day one. And no, I don't have issues with Skwawkbox/Canary because—and again, the TLDR of "poor analogy" applies—they're not Freeview TV news channels, not supposedly Ofcom regulated & not funded/promoted/defended by the government.

  • GeorgeB06039033 Geo B (@GeorgeB06039033) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Why is HD on Freeview no where near as good a resolution as on cable?

  • FplStatsdan Dan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@FplStatsdan) reported

    UK peeps: is there any way to watch ITV4 in HD if you only have Freeview? Relegating the match which actually matters for qualification to ITV4 is a poor move from ITV.

  • CilantroElPerro Ryan Richardson (@CilantroElPerro) reported

    @Ambraneri You would think so, but a cursory Google suggests ITV 4 HD doesn't exist on Freeview and my TV seems to agree. Really you'd think HD would just be the standard now. There's barely any point broadcasting football in SD it looks that bad.

  • WhizzoUK Jason Wilson (@WhizzoUK) reported

    The picture quality on ITV4 on Freeview for Ukraine v Austria is worse than some dodgy football streams I've obviously never watched.

  • aging_hacker JD (@aging_hacker) reported

    @GBNEWS .. Can you fix the sound levels on freesat and freeview please , your station is significantly quieter than others, after watching you, flipping to other channels blows my head off. Also studio sound like someone hasn't removed the plastic bag from around the new microphone 😡 .

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @PaddyTaylor @itvhub Hi Paddy, So sorry you are still experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Please start a DM to allow us to look into this further for you. Do you require the full frequencies for manual tuning? Kind Regards Melissa

  • mjCurnow Martin Curnow (@mjCurnow) reported

    Dad hasn’t been able to watch @GBNEWS. Can’t watch on freeview as their TV signal is poor so they watch everything through Sky. And it’s GB News HD & screen message is to ring to upgrade. I did tell him the picture quality has been pretty dire & an embarrassment to HD TV.

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @GBNfans Still not a great picture on my freeview. Don't know if it's their end or just a weak signal but needs to be HD. Something to go up against question time on Thursdays. More variety/presenters...its starting to get a bit "samey" all the time.
