  • LynnyH Lynn Houghton (@LynnyH) reported from Milton Keynes, England

    @FreeviewAdvice We have a relatively new television that, although we have retuned it, we do not get any main channels - BBC1 etc and several other channels. Could it be a receiver problem or a Freeview problem. Also takes ages to change channels. (Milton Keynes)

    Does anyone I know on Twitter know about the tech of TV sets? I mainly watch it through my Sky box, but I can also get Freeview on terrestrial. That seemed to be hooked up via my VCR - yes, I still have one! Haven’t used it for years and now it seems to have broken, and… 1/2

  • 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).

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithIsrael 🔯🕎✡️🇮🇱 (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    Just watching a programme on Freeview about the German programme set up by Himmler called " Lebensborn" . Y is the UK being blasted for slavery 200 + years ago especially when we abolished it , when Germany never gets slated for the Holocaust or Lebensborn etc only 80 years ago ?

  • shambo1ic shambolic (@shambo1ic) reported from Bowling, Scotland

    @kentindell Tbh every time I turn on my LG it asks if I want to programme channels. I have no antenna connected. I use it for streaming and Sky so never needed freeview etc. not so smart smart Tv

  • Maggie_Bowler Maggie Bowler (@Maggie_Bowler) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I was advised by a representative on your help line that I would have all channels by 6pm yesterday. I’m missing all BBC channels and the remaining channels are intermittent if at all. I’ve sent DM to Freeview.

  • antnorwe Anthony Norwood (@antnorwe) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi Lisa. I definitely have a TCL television however when I go to use Freeview Play or one of the Freeview Play apps I'm prompted to accept terms and conditions that never appear. How can I check if my specific TV should have Freeview Play working.

    That might be one of the first freeview football games and it was so bad I still want my money back.

  • VelvetyMole VelvetyMole🌻🌱 (@VelvetyMole) reported

    @Flashmaggie @rascallycake I watched some of it. I liked a show that took the piss out of wokism. Was a bit put off after reading about Andrew Neil's 'ordeal' at their hands. Also, it's so far up the freeview schedule, I never get beyond channel 81 i.e. @TalkingPicsTV - nothing beyond that worth watching!

  • SamAHarvey Sam Harvey (@SamAHarvey) reported

    @pjgoodman @HammerGothic Have still never seen it 🤦🏻 Don’t have Freeview so can’t join in 😭

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @andyfidler66 Hi Andy, I am so very sorry you cannot access Channel 51. The number of channels available on Freeview depends on where you get your television signal from. Great Christmas Movies broadcast on a Local MUX (frequency) which unfortunately is not available from all transmitters.
