    Ok, Peanut Gallery, what is a decent news/current events show available on Freeview that I can watch for 15 minutes in the morning before work with my cereal? I can't do Piers Morgan, and BBC Breakfast IS pretty poor, I'll admit.

  • ChristchrchMick Michael Dowling (@ChristchrchMick) reported

    @smurfing66 I believe that is the case, although the actual Freeview channel depends on which transmitter you get your TV signal from. The other thing is that Radio Solent broadcasts different matches on different frequencies / Freeview channels (Cherries, Saints, Pompey and Eastleigh)

  • Faster_Martyr Dougie Trickett 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺💙 (@Faster_Martyr) reported

    @AndyDJey @AntAnstead I had recorded it on Quest,Freeview channel 12, or QuestHD on Freeview channel 114 in the U.K.. But I think it’s also on Motortrend on demand service.

  • chrisandmarkuk ❄️❄️❄️ Chris ❄️❄️❄️ (@chrisandmarkuk) reported

    @MarinaHyde I can’t believe this happened. Horrendous for those people involved but as a bystander it’s like a terrible plot for a mini series you see on the Freeview ‘drama’ channels. Absolute madness.

    @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

    @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.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @NYorksPolice This is obviously a hang over from the Bilsdale transmitter problems. As far as I am aware, Harrogate has good Freeview coverage now. If not from Bilsdale, then from one of two temporary relays set up by Arqiva.

  • Tetchywayo Tetchywayo (@Tetchywayo) reported

    @orbette Even the slightest wind caused issues with our digital freeview signal (which living on coast made it permanently unwatchable). Most of yer live tv should still be watchable on iPlayer, ITVHub, All4 etc. though.

  • Somewhataldente Bryan (@Somewhataldente) reported

    @kennyboz67 I only have a Firestick, there's no Freeview TV signal here alas. I'll investigate though, ta.

  • GreenBin69 Mike Lyon 🇵🇸 🇬🇧 (@GreenBin69) reported

    @karlbeeby @Vlad42250421 @SueSaffa If that's what this dictatorship wants to do, then let's go for a subscription/lo advertising mix, ditch the regional & BBC World functions, slim down a bit, gain real independence, less Interence & Gov can deal with Freeview & pensioners subscriptions. BBC still a global brand.
