    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

  • niksibley Nik Sibley (@niksibley) reported from Coventry, England

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • xemilywalker emily (@xemilywalker) reported from Solihull, England

    The worrrrrst thing is, I’ve never had a telly in my room, never wanted one but that means tomorrow my mom and dad will be watching something awful in the back living room so ill be in the front living room with just freeview channels hahahaha **** off

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • rozzietheaussie rozzietheaussie (@rozzietheaussie) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    Dear @Channel4 please can you add live streaming to your 4OD service. My Freeview signal is shocking and I'm missing Bake off and this is very distressing

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • geovilla77 georgie green (@geovilla77) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

    @eboyde Hi Eimear, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • gotmergim M (@gotmergim) reported

    @thewoke4ive **** off g u werent with me freeview days

  • dirtyblondish1 Ristopher (@dirtyblondish1) reported

    Got up at 9 this morning to watch a bunch of episodes of Through The Keyhole (never seen it before after all these years in London) on the strange new freeview channel called "That's TV". It's not very good but an interesting enough time capsule.

  • ArthurAssendune Sir Arthur Assendune 🇪🇺💙#FBPPR #FBPE 🇺🇦 (@ArthurAssendune) reported

    @DanielaNadj I wish the EU would runs a news channel on Freeview. RT did, Al Jazeera does, why not the EU? Euronews is available and OK as far as it goes, but it is quite limited. An opportunity for the EU to develop its own 'World Service'.

  • arranmclean1 Arran McLean (@arranmclean1) reported

    @talktalk freeview tv not working AGAIN-3rd time in 2 wks. Multiple days at a time. On day 4 of latest outage now. No problems with cables. Resetting router&box and retuning doesn’t work. I’m not ringing again as the call centre people don’t understand. Website no help

  • jordanladley Jordan Ladley (@jordanladley) reported

    @virginmedia As many people on here that had the same problem I don’t think it’s an issue where service checker says there is a problem and only happened for one event, other times it seems to be ok just yesterday was an issue and had to turn on freeview instead

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @AdamOnTop97 Hi, Adam. Are you having this issue only on UKTV Play or are you having similar issues on all Freeview Play players? Fraser

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    Unfortunately some Freeview Play devices are still impacted by an issue we're experiencing around playback. Apologies again for disrupting your viewing experience, we are working on fixing this ASAP We will update here as soon as we have an update. Thanks for your patience

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    Thank you for your patience whilst we investigate the recent issue seen on some older freeview devices. We are continuing to work on resolving it. We will update when it will be fixed. In the meantime you can still access UKTV Play via other TVs, desktop and mobile.

    @SallyPh30400687 @blazerpete45 @sportbible Right, whilst that is great for womens football, no issue with that, it also should be expected really as the only other big freeview match in the UK in 2022 was the FA Cup Final which obviously is only the interest of 2 clubs rather than an entire country.
