  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @FreeviewTV Wish Freeview would focus on getting it to work! Outages yet again! The map shows many outages, yet it states no problems. Shows reports, then places a red line above those reports & says only outages above the red line. Showing 'No Service' repeatedly is not good enough.

  • Mark29507122 Mark (@Mark29507122) reported

    @Clare16652923 @Nigel_Farage Problem is you can't watch any free live TV on other channels. That law needs to change. The BBC should be removed from Freeview as it's pay TV. On sky & virgin the picture can be scrambled. People then should be free to watch any channel except the BBC without a licence

  • RichardGB76 Richard G. Bartholomew (@RichardGB76) reported

    I am going to treat this Chinese takeaway just like I treated the ten minute freeview on TV X and The Adult Channel when I was a teenager: plan to drag it out for as long as possible, but I know I'll be finished in under two minutes! #TheOneShow #EURO2022

  • sandralacey2 sandra lacey (@sandralacey2) reported

    @FreeviewTV the last few days i have had difficulty in using the apps on my freeview play telly, all of a sudden all the apps are in one long line and i cannot access anything from them, could you please put them back to what they were;i did not have a problem then Thank you.

  • BerniKennedy Bernardine Kennedy (Maxwell) (@BerniKennedy) reported

    I'm getting twitchy already... neighbours have scaffolding all around their house and its totally taken down our #Sky signal. No TV. For at least four weeks. Even Freeview won't work. No Corrie. No Judge Judy. Nothing. #bereft #tvaddicted

  • rgell1 Rachel (@rgell1) reported

    @conciergemaree I have a Hisense tv- I tried pressing the red button but didn’t work. When you go to channel 7 do you get the Freeview bar down the bottom? Can just press across to get to 7plus

  • shortflyslip Andrew (@shortflyslip) reported

    @robert_t_bruce I guess the real issue is that there doesn't appear to be a decent like-for-like replacement for VodafoneTV. Some options include the Freeview streaming app, but that is hugely undermined because it will be shutting down later in the year.

  • eugene_doherty Eugene Doherty (@eugene_doherty) reported

    @haroldthimbleby Some years back when we had broadband I thought I'd have a look at freeview via aerial to save money but couldn't get a signal. Then when weeding one day I found a coiled up coax cable where next door had been working on their gutters, cut the cable and just decided to hide it.

  • FramptonRoz Roz Frampton (@FramptonRoz) reported

    @FreeviewTV People shouldn't waste their money. Freeview ourages have been horrendous recently. You note a few most reports but don't list all the areas affected, which include most of the country. No access to TV at all is most recorded complaint but many have total blackout. Make it work!

  • manusj Manny (@manusj) reported

    @mrcookie_jay @looksunfamiliar I saw a few recently on some obscure freeview channel. The Kremmen segments are Cosgrove hall? I think. But bad. Terribly bad!!!
