    @Harrison1Ron Excellent. So, how do you fund the Disabiiity Programmes Unit, educational resources and Freeview transmitter maintenance. Or do the disabled/poor/kids not matter? OR does this chap not actually know what the licence fee pays for, like so many others?

    @4Viewers Is there a known issue with All4 on Freeview Play? I cant log on - can enter my email address, but the keys don’t register when putting in the password. Any ideas?

  • McGuinnessKevin Kevin McGuinness  (@McGuinnessKevin) reported

    @SamsungHelpUK my Samsung 4K TV has developed white rings on the screen. It’s not the Sky Q box I’m using as the issue is still evident on apps, Apple TV box, and the Freeview tuner on the TV. It’s almost 4 years old I would think it should last longer than this.

    @patwewonuk @LBC @NickFerrariLBC i dont even see a takeaway or a mobile phone in that image just two people holding a sky remote which we know continues to work for freeview without prescription, sounds like he just likes punching down and hangs onto tired old tropes

    @virginmedia Why is the basic package so expensive when it's such a poor offering??? Making Freeview look good!!. How do we finish our contracts??? Website down, and staff saying systems down ring back. You aren't worth the £.. especially now!

    @BlankOpenspace @FreeviewAdvice No terestrial TV channels at all in my area LU5 - LU6 and still freeview say everything is perfect. In reality, freeview has been getting worse and worse ever since the so called improvements all this year but today freeview has absolutely "NO" signal at all.

  • Ike_Laudius Ike_Laudius (@Ike_Laudius) reported

    @Channel4 Please can you advise as to whether you are aware of issues regarding listings not being available on Freeview devices for the forthcoming weekend?

  • RTWRich RtwRich 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@RTWRich) reported

    @UKTVPlay @UKTV But *still* no streaming app for Sony/AndroidTV/Google TV?! @UKTVPress I can access it via YouView and a hopeless Freeview broadcast guide and signal, which means I never do. Too awkward to find.
