    @Phil_Nourse @colinshone2 And the people said I’ll watch freeview and then said, well that wasn’t so bad and decided to cancel their virgin bloody broadband and moved to Sky on a better deal than £80 per month and now pay £49. That’s what we did 😁

    @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

  • Renbymon Zen-Aku ⬛🐺🗡 (@Renbymon) reported

    Apparently it's not just ITV4, most of the Freeview movie channels are "interrupt a movie with 5 minutes of celebrity/sports news".

  • DugaldMacMilla2 Dugald MacMillan (@DugaldMacMilla2) reported

    So, at home full Sky, Netflix, Prime and Disney+ and my children never watch TV. In London, no Internet. They are utterly fascinated by Grand Designs on Freeview.

    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.

    @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

    @MarieCath1982 @skytv @dramachannel Cancel it get freeview/freesat i did last year

  • abline11 Andy Brown (@abline11) reported

    @MrRandomGuy93 @ImVaradi @davywright65 I was Head of Project Management at the BBC in 2002 and was responsible for creating Freeview in 6 months after ITV Digital failed after years of trying. Maybe you think someone waved a magic wand and it was born in a garage. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 You muppet (although I don’t want to be rude)

  • PaulDel70889969 Paul Delaney (@PaulDel70889969) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview didn't start a fire that caused the damage...nor did the company who now manage it. How quick do you think it takes to put up a temporary mast that's over 1000ft high (so that it still reaches everybody affected). You can't expect anyone to just throw a tower up..

  • SpirouTheGamer Spirou The Dragon (@SpirouTheGamer) reported

    @bigkite @Prof_Nostalgia @FreeviewAdvice Have you phoned the Freeview Helpline to ask further information? If you don't have internet access to check signal transmissions online your best route is to phone 03456 50 50 50. Mon - Fri, 9am to 5pm. Sadly now the soonest you can call is Monday.

    @joshoconnorchen Fun story. I once had some installers place a freeview antenna on top of vocus for an IPTV rig. They pooched something up, and took down 4G for 2 weeks in Albany. MBIE were involved with scanners trying to work out who was outputting **** on the same frequency. Fun times!
