    Freeview, on their webpage, state they were having issues since 6am today. No , it started at 4.20pm GMT yesterday. My watching of tennis at Queens had just started. Ryan had just started playing. Had to catch up with data only on my phone.

    @vonnykelly @siobhni Yes I don't have sky or netflix or any of them and where I live on Freeview we can't get lots of channels like I have never seen Dave ... Anything I am keen to find I look on my laptop for missed episodes etc

    @andybegbiea Hi Andy, you're speaking with Clem this afternoon. I'm sorry to learn that your Freeview recorder box didn't run an initial set up. Please return it to store with your proof of purchase and our store staff will be happy to help you further. -Clem

  • andybegbiea andy (@andybegbiea) reported

    @Argos_Online not very happy with purchase of freeview recorder box today. Got it home batteries were already in remote and when switched on it never ran the initial setup. Obviously a returned product!😡 now got to waste more petrol returning it!

    UPDATE: *QVC has confirmed its HD channels are leaving Freeview, but viewers can still watch high quality streams of all its channels through the red button on channel 16. *Together is set to move onto a DTAS service on Channel 274. *Quest HD will close on June 30th.

  • SimonVisitor Simon Bridger (@SimonVisitor) reported

    It's been announced the BBC News HD Channel will dissappear from freeview, however the service will broadcast in SD only on channel 231. This is happening due to the sale of COM7 to EE for their 5G network. I'm none to happy about this, putting it mildly.

  • wemblystiggs wemblystiggs 🏳️‍🌈 (@wemblystiggs) reported

    Noticed after that most of my non Freeview channels were missing. Called yesterday and was told by someone on your customer services that I wasn't cancelled but recontacted. Passed from pillar to post and hung up on (left on hold for an hour)

  • RobinCArmstrong Robin Armstrong (@RobinCArmstrong) reported

    Praise be for Freeview and Forces TV! Just seen 1980s mind bender The One Game is on at 9.45pm. Yes, it'll probably be **** now but I'll finally see the last episode having missed it 30 years ago...
