    @FreeviewAdvice Morning. I’ve had no Freeview signal now for 12 hours. No iPlayer or any TV apps are working too. Any ideas?

  • DallasStarsUK UK Dallas Stars Fanatics (@DallasStarsUK) reported

    @soph_letitia It’s on FreeSports not Premier, you can watch it online or on FreeView if you can get it on your TV down there

  • pipmadeley Pip (@pipmadeley) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks but I've already tried that direct on the Freeview website. Says it's available in my area but clearly isn't. I also lost BBC Four HD and BBC News HD a couple of months ago. Aerial strength is 100% for other channels so no problems there. Pity.

    @InspireAndStyle Hi, Karen. If you're getting FVP-300 on all Freeview Play players, check to see if there's a software update available for your Freeview Play device. If you've done an update and the player are still not launching on the TV, contact the devices manufacturer for support

  • positiv07652695 positive vibes 💚💙 (@positiv07652695) reported

    @LizahatesTories They said they could offer more for the same money but wouldn’t/couldn’t bring the price down. We’ve all got data on our phone so the other option would be freeview but it’s so limited. Mustn’t grumble if we want the tv and broadband.

    @PhilipsCare_UK hi, all my freeview apps (iPlayer, itv hub all4) have stopped working on my TV. Performed update on tv. Still no joy. Model is 55OLES805/12. Tried clearing data and checked I have HBBTV cookies enabled. Any help appreciated.

    obviously inferno is the worst of the 3 but when you have ****** freeview vs dante goodness you take what you can get

  • muder1308 Glamking1 (@muder1308) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @UKChristmasTV I wish it would come to Freeview Play as that would be cool of me sitting down to watch repeats of Budgie after the news on a Saturday night which would be every goodie’s treat

    @AlanJon53947014 @albolt76 My BBC Freeview was down last week so i hashtagged both words and my oh my..... 😳👀 And thats my story.....

  • effcee1969 Fiorenzo Cecere 🇮🇹 (@effcee1969) reported

    Can anyone help, please? I'm tempted to switch to BT TV which includes Freeview (with all terrestrial channels). Before I place an order, I'd need to check whether these terrestrial channels (and any other channels) provide subtitles via BT TV. Thanks! #BT #subtitles
