    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    @a516digital And I've just checked up, what a surprise vision + is no longer available. I think there was 40 paid for channels. Can,t remember exactly because I never used it. Due to the problems with freeview.

    @amg1968 I'm sorry you're experiencing problems with Freeview reception. I have checked the DMs and can see this has been an ongoing problem due to variable reception in your area. Thanks, C

    @possetrobbo5 @n_groom Wrong. If you watch or record 'live' TV on any channel – either through your TV or through a website or app – then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home.

    FFS, given up on @virginmedia to get a decent picture of the match on BBC1 HD. Terrible signal, reset the box and everything. such a pity. I guess they can't handle the demand or maybe someone near me extended their cable themselves this afternoon. Freeview for the match it is

    @roseannerainbo4 Hi Roseanne, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Youtube app. You would need to contact the manufacture of your equipment for assistance as the Youtube app is not part of the Freeview service. Thanks, Dylan

  • NausicaasPsyche NausicaasPsyche (@NausicaasPsyche) reported

    no, resetting your smart tv will not fix your catch up issues. -reload your freeview stations. -enter your passwords. -that's the wrong password (no it's not netflix). -log into your email to reset your password. -reenter your password. do not try this at home 😭😭

    @MartinD64044821 @GBNEWS Is it working on freeview/sky? It’s not working via their app. On their app they are showing an old @andrewdoyle_com show .

  • JehnnyDangerou1 Jehnny Dangerously (@JehnnyDangerou1) reported

    @scotland_ewan @MrFlibble72LFC I never watch the Morning shows & I’ve almost completely stopped watching the news now too. I think I’ve seen all of Freeview’s arsenal at least x10 times over each. I will have to get Sky 🙄

  • Gooner725 Deep (@Gooner725) reported

    @BBCiPlayer Hi - can one of your technical staff explain why iPlayer is unable to pass a basic 5.1 soundtrack after all this time? Almost every other streaming service can handle it. Why do I have to choose between UHD + 2.0 or HD (Freeview/Sky) + 5.1. Thanks!
