  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • sad19 Sue (@sad19) reported

    @FreeviewTV Hi, I’ve had problems with my freeview feed for about a year in the Medway area. It was pixelated for a while and had only channels from no.12 onwards, then no signal again. Later worked for a few days, now no programmes for ages now and retuning doesn’t work.

  • BenWPope Ben Pope (@BenWPope) reported

    You can have Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, HBO, Quibi, MUBI, All4, ITV Hub, Freeview, Sky, a hoard of DVDs, a VHS library, a crystal ball, a glass shard cursed by a witch, but if you want to watch a specific movie go **** yourself it’s nowhere

  • JSDMN87 Jen (@JSDMN87) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam since the update the smart box (the freeview version) is really slow and can’t watch tv from the TV guide, have to go into the nowtv bit. Is this issue going to be resolved? Some shows are glitching too. My broadband is working perfectly. #nowtv

  • anthea_bailey Anthea Bailey (@anthea_bailey) reported

    Has anyone else got the Apple TV. Connection for their TV? It’s a nightmare and the worst possible way to watch TV. EE have given up their excellent system so I has no choice. Talk about long winded routes to watch. Mostly we have gone back to Freeview in the TV.

  • Cartoonist_Rob Rob The Cartoonist (@Cartoonist_Rob) reported

    @Philips Hi! As of this afternoon, Freeview Play and associated Apps have started working again. A reply from FVP also states they have had an issue. Hopefully all fixed now. Thanks for your help.

  • JenaNYC76 Jena Mihalovic (@JenaNYC76) reported

    @LGUKCare @zhriszowen Same issue and I read the freeview issue was corrected? But nothing appears?!?!

  • cahillaudio Talanoatime (@cahillaudio) reported

    ... he was holding an old 4" battery b+w TV set with one channel and virtually unwatchable. He had lived that way for years.. Life hadn't been kind. It bugged me so I got online and ordered a sat dish and Freeview box that he could connect to a broken portable CD player he had...

  • jasondcoles Jason Coles (@jasondcoles) reported

    @LGUK Sorry but its still disappointing, separate apps for each catch service is not user friendly hence the need for Freeview Play. It’s a kick in the teeth for those who have invested in your product, especially as your promoting new models with Freeview Play. We have been let down!!

  • Marknonpc Mark Jeffery 🇬🇧 (@Marknonpc) reported

    @tomhunt1988 The real answer is to end the licence fee and either get the BBC to take adverts or become a subscription based service, most people chose whether to pay for Sky, Netflix or Amazon etc, why must we be forced by law to pay for the BBC just to watch "Freeview"? #DefundTheBBC

  • jennimcparland1 Jennifer McParland (@jennimcparland1) reported

    @TaraGrace_ I live in the north (in a city) and can’t even get many UK freeview channels because My service comes through a relay transmitter!
