    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    @sillymidoff Kia ora Ruth! Sorry to hear about this. We're checking in with the team now to check on this! What were you watching on the TVNZ+ app (was it live or a show streaming via TVNZ+?) and did you have the same issues via Freeview or Sky?

  • Daverjr David_bythesea (@Daverjr) reported

    @paraman31 @DrHoenderkamp Even digital TVs when they need a rescan can cause issues. I help a handful of people out with this task when their freeview tv or box doesn’t auto update…many don’t.

    @FreeviewTV over the last 4/5 days I have lost a large number of Freeview channels, despite having repeatedly retuned I can't get them back and not sure what has happened, can you help please? - i'm covered by the Sandy Heath transmitter

  • MckL87 💚 (@MckL87) reported

    Folks what’s a good Freeview box that allows you to record? I’m currently paying £167 to sky and due to come to the end of my contract and going to cancel, I can’t get IPTV due to work purposes so what’s the best next thing that’s legit?

  • smileamilewide Indefatigable (@smileamilewide) reported

    @petemorristwit Freesat has been rock solid transmission for approx 8 years that I’ve used it. Freeview was v poor reception in my area & would break up v frequently. Completely solved the issue. PVR with 500GB & twin tuner has proved v useful. Imho picture quality is better than Freeview too.

  • michael_b95 M B (@michael_b95) reported

    @HughesOnAir Oh no Howard the end of your show was cut off (on freeview TV at least). Didn't get to hear how to support the show?

    @TalkTV Can you not improve the picture quality on Freeview?? Compared to (GBNews) it is awful.

  • JamesTurner37 James Turner KC (@JamesTurner37) reported

    @paulhunter62 I’d never heard of the channel until my sister told me - it’s a Freeview channel, apparently. As for the film, who knows! 🤷🏻

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @cutex24 Hi. It may be worth a re-tune if you've not tried that already. If you are still having problems it may be worth contacting Freeview themselves: Problems watching Freeview | Freeview
