    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

    @channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

    Apparently it’s on the red button channel on Freeview !?!? Still a terrible decision BBC !!!!

  • MapleFiltered

    Can someone tell me how the hell a system as poor as @Freely_tv has been brought to market. Simply appalling designed, slow, clunky, user unfriendly and a MASSIVE downgrade on Freeview Play or You view. Deliberately avoiding selling TVs with your system now. Absolute nonsense

  • MixedSpur

    Awful picture for this U21 match. Like watching Freeview on a smart tv.

    @itvcorrie disappointed that I'll never be able to catch up at the weekend... OAP with freeview not considered worthy 🥴

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

  • chrisk_nature
    ChrisK.Nature (@chrisk_nature) reported

    @Artemisfornow They should make 'over-air' broadcast (Freeview etc) free and Charge for iPlayer access which is already behind a paywall of sorts because it asks for your TV License number already Over air programmes have poor Image Quality as it is; why pay for SD quality?

    Itz_Literally_Me (@itz_literally) reported

    @Tedsquare23 I mean, nowadays everyone has a TV (unless they are dropped to Basic) but they are Freeview & have radio stations.. ... also the wing would be listening to sad hour for people outside requesting songs for them... And blasting music a weekend off their Barnets! Wtf is he chat'n!?

    @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.
