  • JoshMetcalfe Josh Metcalfe (@JoshMetcalfe) reported

    @greeniememes Damn I was hoping you'd give us the word. The Chinese channels on freeview are no help, though that could be because I don't understand Mandarin or Cantonese

  • yokoonobot Yoko Ono Bot 🤖💭 (@yokoonobot) reported

  • A5h1984 Ashley Dunscombe-Isaac (@A5h1984) reported

    I have tried clearing the internet memory in the hope it gives the apps a kick but no joy. I don't want to go through the hassle of reinstalling the TV as I have Freeview satellite channels installed with lots of favourites marked. Is there anything else I can do to fix this

  • GRR_No2 Gina G 🌻 (@GRR_No2) reported

    Client who I've repeatedly told that we still don't have freeview has just got curry's out to 'fix' his TV cos it wasn't tuning 🙃 How many times does one person need to be told the same thing!?

    @Afanasiew Being in my fifties basically any freeview daytime advert. Life insurance, retirement homes, stairlifts etc. The worst of the lot is the life insurance wrongly delivered post (again) ad with 'June from next door'.

    @CarlyleRob @Notts_TV Hi Rob, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception, so we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number?

    @TheDoctor2058 @arqiva My experience is that they never ever respond to people here...but perhaps they will DM you. I'd suggest calling the Freeview number for advice if you dint hear back over the weekend. Hope that helps.
