  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • 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

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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.

  • northernstock2 Kimberley Stock (@northernstock2) reported

    @BBC an issue the last 4 days with interference from Emley Moor TV Mast. It affects all BBC channels and cannot recieve some other channels especially channel 83 and others at that end of the freeview list upto 101. The HD channels are not affected. This is thru TV and digibox

  • LuckyTarget Lucky Target Comics - back issue webstore (@LuckyTarget) reported

    Watching live Freeview for the first time in years and it is hour after hour, dozens of channels full of utter crap. How do people still watch this? Streaming has spoiled me.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @sianharries_ I don't know, Freeview's standard channels all look bloody awful compared to HD.

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @NikkiGoldblatt @itvhub Can you please check for updates by clicking on the Freeview Play button, go to Settings, go to System Information, and select Check for Updates. If the issue persists please DM us with a screenshot or photo of the System Information screen.

    @dsoq They show it here in UK on Freeview talking pictures channel. I'd never seen it before.

  • DyslebrityDawg Raulstrebo aka Don-Paul ap Arfon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@DyslebrityDawg) reported

    @Seraph7th I have only ever seen a couple of minutes of Dog Soldiers. It was on a freeview channel a few months ago. Low budget British horror movie, no thank you. I still harbour 'issues' with low budget British film producers, they didn't want my screenplays, except James Atherton LOL

  • FilmConnolly Phil(ip) Connolly (@FilmConnolly) reported from Eastbourne, England

    @MrAbelMagwitch A lot of University students also have access to "Box of Broadcasts" an online catchup service which can show tv programs from all the main freeview channels... they can stream BBC content on without needing a TV license.

  • tanurai Tanya Fish (@tanurai) reported

    @em_cooper Read your book backlog instead. Pretend you're on holiday with a crap aerial and freeview, the only choices being Bargain Hunt or a repeat of A Home In The Sun.

  • Mac_WiFi Andrew McHale (@Mac_WiFi) reported

    @TheCMReed @Potato_Fi @TurtleBeach Nope, no change 😫 POV1 is “stuck” in freeview mode so I can’t do things like select the throttle in training mode. I’m guessing this isn’t an issue on yours then which gives me hope for a fix from TB

  • timbirds1 Tim Salisbury (@timbirds1) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV A Sky engineer is coming out to fix it , with a new box , best from , Tim. , so I will watch in the meantime on Freeview.
