    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

  • sugarcanebook E. E. Fry (@sugarcanebook) reported

    @virginmedia Also, losing all of our recorded programmes and movies yet again, unable to pre record any Xmas TV or movies, losing all of our favourites and our series links. FreeView and catch up have rendered the Tivo service sold to us as obsolete and we've not been offered any compensation

    @chemalino @Johnnypapa64 THANKS BARRY, I GET UK DRAMA, NOT GOLD ON MY FREEVIEW, BUT WITHOUT FAIL BBC2 OR DRAMA SHOW THEM EVERY YEAR,

  • FreeviewTV Freeview (@FreeviewTV) reported

    @toyhaul @JeffBezos Hi, Freevee is not Freeview sorry. You would need to contact the platform you use Freevee on for support with this. Thank you, Melissa

  • 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?

  • HewiEdwards Wayne Edwards (@HewiEdwards) reported

    @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.

  • ChonjiGraham Graham Pitkin (@ChonjiGraham) reported

    @robbeckettcomic So not on Freeview? Can't. Oh well, never mind.

  • SofiaAkinJourno Sofia (@SofiaAkinJourno) reported

    Are you in support of the strikes? A YouGov poll revealed which union has the most support and which has the least support. 🚂 We’ll be asking Rochester residents today— watch Kent Tonight this evening to find out the results! 17:30-18:30. 🎥 Freeview 7 // Virgin 159

    What is it with feeling like crap and the correlation with crap TV. Can't be doing with Netflix or films, but instead I'm in the depths of freeview staring at family fortunes and a place in the sun.

  • WhenIsBirths Justin Lewis (whenisbirths@tooting.ch) (@WhenIsBirths) reported

    Still can't quite believe Cleese, who could have worked for almost any TV network in the world over the past 25 years, is going to do something for something at the arse-end of Freeview that no serious journalist or broadcaster would go near.

  • TheAndrewF Andrew F (@TheAndrewF) reported

    There's an old Benny Hill show on one of those cheapo Freeview channels. Obviously it's dodgy by today's standards, but more than that... it's just crap. So much for TV's golden age.
