    @PhilipsCare_UK had great customer service from you guys in the past, but the problem constantly comes back. ‘Playback failed’ on iplayer, 4od.. all freeview channels, to the point where I can’t use my tv as a tv. And yes, have reset everything, it’s the latest software, etc etc

  • BeccaLarks Rebecca Larkin (@BeccaLarks) reported

    @TeamKnowhowUK hi there, I'm having trouble with the Freeview play app on a JVC TV. It says 'unable to access the Freeview play server. Please exit and try again'. I have tried several times. The channel 100 works but not the app. All other internet catch-ups work

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I think you should make a sticky post saying that Freeview is pretty much up and down all week because of full and relay transmitter mass maintenance around most of the UK for the full week. I only just see about it on your website but Twitter is people's first go to to moan.

  • lee_redrobin Lee Marie (@lee_redrobin) reported from City of Kingston upon Hull, England

    @FreeviewTV My Parents only have limited freeview channels, is this because of the transmitter problems, if so, when will this be fixed as they only have freeview to watch and no internet they are both in their 80’s

  • ExCopper2702 Jim (@ExCopper2702) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi! Still no freeview tv signal in my area of Teesside. Any idea when it’ll be back??

  • gazzaeuro Gary Spence (@gazzaeuro) reported

    BBC One SD is working on Freeview but BBC One HD isn't, the Bilsdale signal is weak and unstable. But the picture just went off. P.S. The English regional programmes won't be in HD until next year. #Bilsdale

  • bigrego85 Rego™🇮🇹 (@bigrego85) reported

    Hi @FreeviewAdvice, I live in the North East of England (Middlesbrough) and my Freeview went off but when I ran another scan it's only found 34 channels when I once had over 150? My signal appears to have dropped also. Most of the 34 channels are unwatchable due to pixels. Help?

  • Mdreadedtwit The Dreaded Fox (@Mdreadedtwit) reported

    Bad news: Bilsdale transmitter down due to fire meaning 1 million homes will not get freeview TV services... Good news: This means they will miss 'Love Island'...Every cloud etc; #wednesdaythought #Bilsdale

  • scraggytees nigel teece (@scraggytees) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hi .. I love in Norton just outside of stockton.. o service except 14 channels on and off.. No Freeview or BBC .I think now I am entitled to ask when will I see some changes ??

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    Viewers in NE England: The Bilsdale transmitter is still off-air after a fire. Engineers are working to re-route signals from other transmitters to bring Freeview back - hundreds of thousands of homes should see signal return today. We appreciate your patience.
