  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • CatSlaveUK Slave2Cats 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@CatSlaveUK) reported from Runcorn, England

    @FreeviewAdvice is Freeview down in Halton ?

  • 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. 👍

  • 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.

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • m44rte Martin (@m44rte) reported

    @madebygoogle does your Google TV support Freeview app in UK. The web seems to suggest yes but I can't find the app

  • mcdonal01 Alan McDonald (@mcdonal01) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. As part of our broadband/phone package we have the small, internet connected, Freeview box. We have problems with the box. It regularly says that channels are not available despite them ok via app and has to be rebooted several times. Can we get replacement?

  • EmmaM19251550 Emma M Instagram marzettigodman Masterdon in bio (@EmmaM19251550) reported

    @UKTVPlay we can't do series record and Idea what's happening? If you can let me know, it affects my mum more than me. But it doesn't work via my sky box, mum used freeview.

  • SydneyCityTV SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reported

    @whophd @meadea @domknight From what I've read, onDigital/ITV Digital was plagued with reception and piracy issues however overbidding for TV rights to a lower division football league was their biggest downfall. Although in a way, the failure of it + the later rise of Freeview was probably a good thing.

  • HobbitsWife Hobbits Wife 💙 (hobbitswife@fosstodon.org) (@HobbitsWife) reported

    Oh good so no @ITVX on @FreeviewTV then? #ItvHin refuses to load. Seems an odd decision not to support freeview!

  • BurnipG Geoff Burnip (@BurnipG) reported

    @itvhubhelp ITV hub will not load on Freeview Play on my Panasonic tv or Humax pvr, is this just double bad luck? Not a smart move from itv as there must be many viewers like me. Will a different pvr play through my tv, if so which one.

  • TomMaxwell11 Tom Maxwell (@TomMaxwell11) reported

    @AnnalisaB Don't confine yourself to new crap Christmas films, Annalisa -check out 'Great Movies Christmas' at Channel 52 on Freeview, which usually starts its Christmas season in early November. There's enough Christmas dross on there, 24 hours a day, to last you two braindead lifetimes!😳

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @TonyB2929 Hello Tony, Do you have a screenshot of the issue (or a video) so we can better understand what's going on? What model is your Samsung TV? Are you using Freeview or any other service to watch our content? Thanks!

  • RonnieB67015500 Ronnie Buchanan 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@RonnieB67015500) reported
