  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • sjjarrettHR Stephen Jarrett (@sjjarrettHR) reported

    @IanRedman11 @BBCNews Even when set to london no local news just red screen for 4 mins every 30 mins - its a BBC issue not a settings issue - you watch via Freeview you get local news or via sky you can retune to local news but via app on all hdmi plug in devices no local news

  • Platinumshuu ✦ Platinum ✦ (@Platinumshuu) reported

    @Bigpikachu1 @menarepretty @CosmonautMarcus You're legally required to hold a TV license if the house has a TV, I think is what you're thinking. Sky is not TV though, it's a service that has Freeview TV (actual, default TV and channels), as well as 100's more you pay for with whatever deal you signed up to them with.

  • robinstmtaolcom tim robinson (@robinstmtaolcom) reported

    So poor I khan only dream freeview 😳

  • h_polba Helen Polba (@h_polba) reported

    @Michi_Midge Is this for television? We got rid of Sky Years ago as we realised what we watched was mostly available on Freesat and Freeview. We’ve never had wifi through them, we have Plusnet.

  • PiMinister Sir Ivan Holland 🇺🇦 (@PiMinister) reported

    @biglesp I remember going through this process many years ago. I only had phone and broadband at the time, but was told that if I had a TV box as well my monthly cost would be cheaper. The TV box was delivered and I never used it as I already had Freeview for TV. Madness.

    @JackEDavies Hi, Jack. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with Freeview Play. What's happening when you're trying to use the service? Fraser

  • LondonKerry Kerry (@LondonKerry) reported

    @NoContextBrits rip us poor kids who only had freeview/terrestrial and had never heard of these games until today

  • Jamesalk3 James Wilkinson (@Jamesalk3) reported

    Oh joy. The United game is on ITV4 which means there are two options for those with Freeview. Either watch on ITV4 SD, which has arguably the worst picture quality of any channel, or stream with a major delay on their awful @ITVX app.

  • MJS_RADAR R.A.D.A.R. 🏏🏏🎾 - BeatCovid #WearAMask! 😷 (@MJS_RADAR) reported

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Whilst I can't comment on the above devices, I can comment on Freeview Play. The Device I baught a mere 28 days ago WILL NEVER work #ITVX even though ITV Hub is installed. Therefore, for you to state, "If your TV had ITV Hub it will automatically upgrade to ITVX." is incorrect.
