    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    When did BBC4 HD. Leave Freeview? What a load of ****, missed a chunk of #TOTP and joining it late with Michael ruddy Jackson.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @a516digital While i was on the phone i ask freeview if their were plans for any muxes to switch to t2, absolutely clueless the lady said whats your postcode, i put the phone down. Seens to me dvb t2 plans are either still internal or a long way off.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    BBC to "support the distribution of S4C services across multiple platforms". Adds weight to comment in BBC Three Public Interest Test about allocating bandwidth to S4C HD in Wales on Freeview.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital The same with freeview, dispite the fact i cant get this service even after my best efforts, those that can should have all the hd at the start, i know theres less coming up when mux 7 closes, but its the way forward.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    ITV is to close its SD service in the West Country for viewers with Sky or Freesat. West Country regional news will only be available in HD. There are no changes on Freeview or Virgin Media.

  • Cartoonist_Rob Rob The Cartoonist (@Cartoonist_Rob) reported

    @Philips It's buggered! Freeview Play and all its associated Apps have all stopped, producing error FVP-300 and FVP-400. Even the @RakutenTV app has stopped. Can you do an urgent fix, please? This is caused from your recent update and many people are affected.

  • thecolinturner Colin Turner (@thecolinturner) reported

    @GBNEWS The problem with being on Freeview is we need a licence to watch it and therefore have to fund the BBC.

  • Oldcynic9 Granny( wokes will be blocked )Bull. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @docjmt Thanks, we wondered about freesat because the problem we have with freeview is our signal comes from a secondary mast so can we only get the main TV channels like the ITV channels ,BBC ch4, ch5 & Film 4 most of the other freeview channels are unavailable .

  • Impulse2152 Impulse 2152 (@Impulse2152) reported

    @AmazonHelp I'm using a JVC smart TV that "Works With Alexa", and it's connected to my Wi-Fi. Netflix works, but YouTube, Amazon Prime, Freeview Play and the Alexa feature has connection problems.

  • ByChrisSmith Chris Smith (@ByChrisSmith) reported

    @Simon_OW Wasn't it terrible? It was like something you'd see on an obscure Freeview channel, not the platform with the biggest original content budget in the world.

  • mimmi_13 MarinaraMeatball (@mimmi_13) reported

    I have a contractor over to finally fix the aerial and the freeview coverage in the house. I offered him tea/coffee but he refused. I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now. The citizenship test did not prepare me for this.
