  • DiGada1 Ali (@DiGada1) reported

    @TRACEYBRO @GBNEWS Unfortunately there's always been a load of freeview channels that have never been available where I live.

  • MondDevon Ray Griffiths (@MondDevon) reported

    BBC iPlayer dropping out, awful UHD colour rendition. HD Freeview by far the better viewing option #ENGCRO

  • FreezoneIsm Ism-freezone💙💙💙 (@FreezoneIsm) reported

    @TSting18 Great visual promo, Stingy... Just found goebbels bulls*** on freeview, channel 236. Prog on at 9PM looks f***ed down...🤬

  • mexisme telinit 6 (@mexisme) reported

    @jonoabroad If you get a Vodafone set-top box, you can also subscribe to Sky. However, you can change or cancel the service(s) month-by-month. TBF, the Voda set-top box is quite good c.f. the competition; works fine on Freeview, streaming services (incl. NZ ones).

  • Loykymar_Gaming Loy Kymar (@Loykymar_Gaming) reported

    Hi @twitch community, I was to stream some matches from the Euro 2020 on twitch (2 min time delay). I know there are problems when it comes to Sky TV and other PAY TV but this is actually BBC on freeview. Is it possible or still not allowed? Please Help

  • iannock Ian Nock (@iannock) reported

    @matthewcarter7 Freeview Play 4K TVs ... they have good support. TiVo v6 did at WC but have not confirmed this time around. Still need to check my SkyQ, but Android TV devices almost universally don't...

  • Cerb32 Cerb32 (@Cerb32) reported

    @suzseddon Yes, but Freeview reception is poor.

  • DiGada1 Ali (@DiGada1) reported

    @WeAreYellows49 @GBNEWS Doesn't work on my TV. We've never been able to get many of the freeview channels in this part of the country

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @BeccaHutson Any chance of looking into getting an Android TV version of the app up in the future? It'll certainly help those of us on Freeview who have a poor quality picture be able to watch in HD instead.

  • StuartMMeikle Stuart Meikle (@StuartMMeikle) reported

    @vickihird When is it available on Freeview? If he knows diddly squat about food production and farming, well he will just be another in a long list of people who have decided that they can tell us slow-on-the-uptake agriculturalists how to do it.
