  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks but I've already tried that direct on the Freeview website. Says it's available in my area but clearly isn't. I also lost BBC Four HD and BBC News HD a couple of months ago. Aerial strength is 100% for other channels so no problems there. Pity.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @NYorksPolice This is obviously a hang over from the Bilsdale transmitter problems. As far as I am aware, Harrogate has good Freeview coverage now. If not from Bilsdale, then from one of two temporary relays set up by Arqiva.

  • Outside_Margina Outside The Marginals (@Outside_Margina) reported

    How many channels does #C4 have on Freeview? Why can't they run their flagship news program (part of their Public Service) on time on the flagship channel? #c4news

  • GreenBin69 Mike Lyon 🇵🇸 🇬🇧 (@GreenBin69) reported

    @karlbeeby @Vlad42250421 @SueSaffa If that's what this dictatorship wants to do, then let's go for a subscription/lo advertising mix, ditch the regional & BBC World functions, slim down a bit, gain real independence, less Interence & Gov can deal with Freeview & pensioners subscriptions. BBC still a global brand.

  • DallasStarsUK UK Dallas Stars Fanatics (@DallasStarsUK) reported

    @soph_letitia It’s on FreeSports not Premier, you can watch it online or on FreeView if you can get it on your TV down there

  • ChristchrchMick Michael Dowling (@ChristchrchMick) reported

    @smurfing66 I believe that is the case, although the actual Freeview channel depends on which transmitter you get your TV signal from. The other thing is that Radio Solent broadcasts different matches on different frequencies / Freeview channels (Cherries, Saints, Pompey and Eastleigh)

  • BobbyLow_ BOBBY ⚒ (@BobbyLow_) reported

    @Chris29Cunningh Are you watching it on freeview?. Yeah it’s bad, but ok on sky or the app.

  • AuntieSyzygy Auntie 🫐 (@AuntieSyzygy) reported

    @grahamlaurie1 oh yes, that's freeview 9 for me. I should've looked there. on web iplayer it is clocked as BBC1 - why can't they make navigation easy!? grr. never mind, here we are, hooray!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @InspireAndStyle Hi, Karen. If you're getting FVP-300 on all Freeview Play players, check to see if there's a software update available for your Freeview Play device. If you've done an update and the player are still not launching on the TV, contact the devices manufacturer for support

  • GEORDIEJOHN1982 NUFC1892 (@GEORDIEJOHN1982) reported

    @InspireAndStyle @FreeviewAdvice Hi Karen, I had the same problem and I done a software update on my TV and reset the TV to default again after the update and it worked. You may also need to update the freeview app from your TV store (android play store) or LG store for example.
