    @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

    @virginmedia All checked no issues that I can find...far worse if I'm trying to watch channels not on freeview

  • jbarshall JamieB (@jbarshall) reported

    @BBCiPlayerForum I don’t understand why iPlayer has stopped using a grid channel and programme finder for everything that is showing on all the iPlayer channels? It’s a huge omission, makes no sense… I have to use the Freeview app on my phone to see what’s on. BBC pl fix!!

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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.

  • Somewhataldente Bryan (@Somewhataldente) reported

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

  • 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.

  • AllanMadjacs SALFORD PATRIOT (@AllanMadjacs) reported

    I gave my tv license up 3 yrs ago,watching daughters TV, The absolute **** they put on wk after wk,mth after month is disgraceful!,chanel 4 and Dave and all the fking rest, are just an advertising vehicle for **** programs, for PLEBS, Who think FREEVIEW is Great!!!😝😡🤬🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸🇮🇱

  • Outside_Margina Outside The Marginals (@Outside_Margina) reported

    How many channels does #C4 have on Freeview? Why can't they run their flagship news program (part of their Public Service) on time on the flagship channel? #c4news

  • martin_j_wilson Martin Wilson (@martin_j_wilson) reported

    @PaulLittler4 I've paused it a couple of times but I'm only on the Freeview SD version so it's not that clear. Maybe one day when there's a Blu-Ray re-issue :)
