    @EngUndertaker Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this for you, can you please provide your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • JohnHuwEvans2 H-yule Evans. Aitch NOT haitch!!!! (@JohnHuwEvans2) reported

    @just_j0 NO as I only have Freeview. I don't intend getting any subscription service even if I could justify the cost. I am tempted to tweet about the 109th viewing of TBBT or HIMYM though.

    @haroldthimbleby Everything fine until I switched to a mono radio station on Freeview, at which point the sound stopped and stayed off until the TV was rebooted. Weird. Rang Sony. “Never heard of that before” they said. “Try using the RCA audio output sockets”. I rewired my cable, it then worked.

    Daughter's TV has switched off this morning! Changed the fuse in the plug thinking may just be that but nothing! Changed the HDMI cable! Nothing! Disconnected her console to show Freeview TV, still nothing! FFS! 🤬🤬 Short term solution - she uses TV in lounge in her bedroom

    @Keeptheban_ “Ooh, that’s gonna be great”. People pay good money for Sky subscriptions, often to watch Freeview channels. There is a really simple solution.

    Is it just me or does Amazon prime video have a terrible UI? It feels worse that the freeview apps. Plus some stuff is free some is extra money?

    @ArgosHelpers I ordered and collected a LG 50 Inch 50UP77006LB Smart 4K UHD LED HDR Freeview TV yesterday and thought I had added the special offer LG SK1D 100W Sound bar, please can you help. I can provide my order reference

    Anyone else noticed @FreeviewTV HD reception is exceptionally bad in London this morning? A bit of a lottery since the frequencies changed but I can usually rely on BBC1 and BBC2, fine last night, unwatchable this morning. #freeview
