    Unfortunately some Freeview Play devices are still impacted by an issue we're experiencing around playback. Apologies again for disrupting your viewing experience, we are working on fixing this ASAP. We will update here as soon as we got an update. Thanks for your patience

    @SkyHelpTeam Help Again. When Sky Q was installed they somehow disconnected our Freeview on 2 TVs . As the scaffolding is going to be there for three weeks we really need to do something. Suggestions? (apart from SkyGlass... too expensive right now)

  • SunnyL723 SunnyL723 (@SunnyL723) reported

    @lucymirandaward Definitely breaking down barriers. Your comment was my first thought at the time. This is why women's sports needs to be on freeview more often..so much potential for progress.

    @HookClassic I can't get the Welsh channels and the football is on there, so I Have to watch the matches on iPlayer, it's such a pain. I was scrapping with Freeview about this. Apparently the mountains are in the way of the antenna so I get Liverpool TV instead. Awful stuff.

    Thank you for your patience whilst we investigate the recent issue seen on some older freeview devices. We are continuing to work on resolving it. We will update when it will be fixed. In the meantime you can still access UKTV Play via other TVs, desktop and mobile.

    @talktalk freeview tv not working AGAIN-3rd time in 2 wks. Multiple days at a time. On day 4 of latest outage now. No problems with cables. Resetting router&box and retuning doesn’t work. I’m not ringing again as the call centre people don’t understand. Website no help

    @DanielaNadj I wish the EU would runs a news channel on Freeview. RT did, Al Jazeera does, why not the EU? Euronews is available and OK as far as it goes, but it is quite limited. An opportunity for the EU to develop its own 'World Service'.

    @AndyCla05536869 @vimfuego1234 @PrisonPlanet programming (all offset by big profitable productions). Then we add maintaining the infrastructure of Freeview and FreeSat (how the poor and elderly traditionally access television). Oh & writing the scripts. And directing the shows. And editing them. Yeah, sure you could. (2/2)
