    @FreeviewTV Help, please! Subtitles are not recording on my Freeview recorder for ITV3 and 4. All others seem okay, so my machine settings are okay.

    @FreeviewAdvice why does the Freeview guide on my Panasonic tv show me channels I cannot get as there is no signal

  • techprocess1 🇬🇧 (@techprocess1) reported

    @extravelservice @SkyUK It’s a sky streaming only service Locked into Sky better off getting a smartTV . Look at BT TV £6 a month for Sky entertainment Netflix and freeview. And record 600 hours all without an aerial or dish.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    Is it me or is the sound quality on @BBCTwo US Elections programme rather poor? Watching on BBC Two HD on Freeview. And I don't mean one of the contributors not having a microphone.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @blogmywiki We are broadcasting loud and clear, Giles. We haven't moved. Have you tried retuning your box? If you still have problems you will need to speak to Freeview, there is a helpline: Freeview advice line on 03456 505050

  • Big_Frank88LFC seán (@Big_Frank88LFC) reported

    @Tipler1983 Considering most people have sky, virgin, freeview & even the skullduggery of IPTV I doubt very much we'll have any broadcasting issues. Plus all shows are on their on demand services which are international
