    @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

    Last Night I watched The Simpsons Movie, which I've never seen before but had recorded on my (newer of 2!) Freeview PVR in Jan 2013 (as I worked out from the Ads). Those Ads were actually the most interesting part - apparently the iPhone 5 has a whizzy new Do-Not-Disturb feature!

    @MovetheWorld9 @novaramedia This time in standard English rather than poor signal freeview.

    @liampdwyer Thanks for getting back to us, Liam. This service can be accessed on freeview on channel 236, or if you're watching on the app. If it's hardly working, it'll be best to reset your TV box, and possibly your broadband.

    @FreeviewTV Hi Freeview 101 BBC has no EPG since your retune. Can you fix that please?

  • FalaCatsco Catherine (@FalaCatsco) reported

    @AgentP22 According to STV it's shows like Coronation Street etc, Albas figures are an impressive 530,000 adult viewers a week when it became available on Freeview and Virgin media, how odd. Their average viewing time is an hour and 40 mins? Never watched Alba, lot of Sports apparently.

    @S4C @virginmedia Yeah had the update but still not working, it hasn’t now for the last 3 or 4 live games, it must be a Virgin problem as I said freesat and freeview working, never mind I’ll stay with the Welsh language it’s fine

    @BBCBreakfast Why are us in the North-East of England seeing the London local news on freeview? #Fail

    @Livalab With regards to the guide on the Freeview app, you can still get the next programmes up on the TV guide by pressing the icon made of variously sized horizontal lines on the top left corner of the guide. As for +1 versions of the BBC channels, that would be down to the BBC.

    @garybrett37 @FreeviewTV Hi, Gary. Sorry to hear that you're having problem with your Freeview reception. Can you DM us your postcode along with the house number or name so we can check for any known issues in the area and advise from there?
