    @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.

  • iainsykes2014 Iain Sykes (@iainsykes2014) reported from Blackburn, England

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    @UKTVPlayHelp Hi, it is via the Freeview Play platform, which is a pre-installed app. There is no dedicated UKTV Play app in the Philips Saphi app store. The problem seems to occur on all UKTV channels. The last time it was working, was probably about 1 month ago, that I can remember.

  • techprocess1 🇬🇧 (@techprocess1) reported

    @Gaz_THFC £84!!!! I used to have to pay £65 a month. Switched to freeview via Sky for £5 a month and got a new sky Q box. Hated it. Going to cancel in March when my contract ends. Switched to BT TV for £6 a month, freeview, Netflix and Sky entertainment for 24 months.

    @SamsungUK I have a UE437U7020KXXU LCD and approx. 6 months ago Samsung TV Plus automatically installed and removed my Freeview channels. I managed to get rid of the channel but it keeps coming back like a bad smell every time I auto retune.

  • ShaneRosser20 Shane Rosser (@ShaneRosser20) reported

    Can you take tiktok off my Freeview TV network because I have never used it @FreeviewTV?

  • 4mulawun 4mulaHammer (@4mulawun) reported

    @micronautsFan @NoContextBrits To be fair up until about 20 years ago (roughly) we had 5 whole channels haha. When satellite TV came in then Freeview as I am sure you know, it all changed but we never had the US style 200+ cable channels until quite late on.

  • E17Observatory Walthamstow Observatory (@E17Observatory) reported

    Hi @plex, Seasons Greetings to you all. I'm looking to add a USB TV device to my @NVIDIASHIELD, I'd prefer to use Freesat as it's better quality than Freeview but @HauppaugeHQ say you don't support DVB-S - is this likely to change anytime soon - especially as DVB-T is at risk?

  • TommyCoyneBN1 Tommy Coyne 🤗 (@TommyCoyneBN1) reported

    @LesMalpas Could be transmitter issues. Sometimes, my Freeview goes wonky, and I have to retune because the signal has switched from South-East to South (and vice versa), but the transmission signals are very close. If you don't have a near alternative, you might need to just be patient.

  • adebradley Adrian Bradley (@adebradley) reported

    Is it possible that BBC have a better/stronger freeview signal than ITV HD?

  • tgemeda22 Tola Gemeda (@tgemeda22) reported

    @oocukkidstv @retromod8 @NionLogos182 I remember there was also iPlayer on Freeview (on my TV at least) from strong memory along with Channel 5's On-Demand service, Demand 5 (now My5).

  • Rivermansky63 Alex M (@Rivermansky63) reported

    Ah, good old Freeview. I'm only just back from my elderly mother's and she rings me to say she can't watch TV because it says that the channels have to be retuned. She can't do it herself so I'll have to go back and do it. It's a stupid system isn't it?
