    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

  • Oliver_Wok wok (@Oliver_Wok) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

    @MaggiKaye @FreeviewTV Hi Maggi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with our app. Can you please drop us a DM along with your full postcode and house name/number and can you please confirm if it is the Freeview Play app on your TV or the Freeview mobile app? Thank you,

    Actually that's not strictly true. Freeview will be offering internet streams of channels as back up in the future, but no sign of when, so that doesn't help you today.

    @TalkTalk my parents have been sent a new talktalk Freeview box. It’s connected up but when watching Freeview they have sound and no picture. Streaming services work ok. Help please?

    @rreczulski @rasiron Freeview channel 721 is BBC Leicester where I live so fully rely on BBC Sport commentary. I suspect many others who live away from the region have the same issue.

  • markvonrichards Marko Von Richards🤡 (@markvonrichards) reported

    Still find it horrendous that @bbcthree has HD on freeview to show Ru WTF Drag Race but a proper service like @BBCFOUR4 is demoted to SD and ready to be dropped? How many licence fee payers actually watch the shite they put out on @bbcthree
