@virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

@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…

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.

@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.

@itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

@bt_uk Dissapointed in your TV services . After being a Sky customer for years I thought I'd give BT a go . Can't even view BTSports in HD without paying extra and entertainment channels are mostly available on Freeview anyway.. Think I'll be returning to @SkyUK

@FreeviewAdvice @ToshibaTEC_UK I don’t think it’s an issue with freeview play, the Toshiba tv I have seems to have deleted the app even though there’s a button on the remote specifically for it. I was hoping @ToshibaTEC_UK customer service was better than their tvs, guess not. Thanks for your reply though

@TheSilverCloak @UKChristmasTV I'm not giving up my Sky. But Talking Pictures only has the catch up service on Freeview and I want to see it on proper TV. You can't cast from the app to the TV.

@Flintaxe @BBCiPlayer Hello again. I seem to have fixed this issue. I didn't have a TV aerial connected to the back of the TV itself (I use a BT box.) Once I connected to the back of the TV, iplayer worked as it operates via the Freeview Play platform. Hope this works for you.
