    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @TeamKnowhowUK hi there, I'm having trouble with the Freeview play app on a JVC TV. It says 'unable to access the Freeview play server. Please exit and try again'. I have tried several times. The channel 100 works but not the app. All other internet catch-ups work

  • Alan_Dawson1971 The Plazzy Scouser (@Alan_Dawson1971) reported

    Over 3 hrs I've spent trying to figure out why the Freeview side of my BT box lost all the channels with no signal. Stripped wires removed plugs...checked other TVs ...only to finally find out the local transmitter is on 🔥.. not happy.....bedtime.....😠😠

    @RadioToday I live in the Bilsdale area @RadioToday and it is day two without the transmitter not working. I have access to my DAB+ Radio and Virgin Media Cable. But I do also watch Freeview a lot.

    Viewers in NE England: The Bilsdale transmitter is still off-air after a fire. Engineers are working to re-route signals from other transmitters to bring Freeview back - hundreds of thousands of homes should see signal return today. We appreciate your patience.

    @FreeviewTV My Parents only have limited freeview channels, is this because of the transmitter problems, if so, when will this be fixed as they only have freeview to watch and no internet they are both in their 80’s

  • justwatching87 Des yeux en ligne (@justwatching87) reported

    @leemurphy100 It has gone ****. The boxes are old and clunky, they make you take Now tv subscriptions for more channels (which suits me but I already have the app so out came the talktalk box). I'd rather they just did phone and broadband rather than charge for a glorified freeview box.

  • DRTim46898179 @DRTim (@DRTim46898179) reported

    Watched the Rangers* game when it came Freeview today. Malmo worked to stop crosses from the wings- the main route of attack. They also defended well when crosses did come in. Rangers struggled to play through the middle and their shooting was terrible. McGregor slow low right

    BBC One SD is working on Freeview but isn't BBC One HD the Bilsdale signal is weak and unstable. But the picture just went off. P.S. The English regional programmes won't be in HD until next year. #Bilsdale
