    Not at all surprised to find that @itvx is a pile of rubbish. Not integrated into Freeview Play's TV guide, no Channel list in the app's UI, so using it for catch up is a pain in the neck. Didn't they do any usability tests? Unbelievably bad. That's if it loads... #itvx

    @FreeviewTV come on Freeview it's nearly 2020 not bloody 1920 sort the problem out.

    @itvcorrie disappointed that I'll never be able to catch up at the weekend... OAP with freeview not considered worthy 🥴

  • GladiatrixRedux Gladiatrix52 (@GladiatrixRedux) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV there is a problem with your Encore service via Freeview. A programme playing via Encore will suddenly stop and whatever is showing live on Freeview starts playing. There is no way of getting back to the point reached before the stop either.

    @jcalvarez2 @freesat_tv My parents invested in a 2TB freeview box. Not only was they dky q LNB not compatible and required a replacement at £100, but the box was incredibly slow and kept freezing. They just use apps on their smart tv now

    @FreeviewAdvice Our JVC smart TV will only let us change channels if we go onto the Freeview Play Guide, it won’t change if we just type in the number using the remote (remote works for everything else. Any help please? We’ve also got an issue with bbc iPlayer not working.

    @orelduderino @Danlassman Is your TV remote broken? at least 200+ channels to choose from on Freeview (900+ if your lucky)

  • MckL87 💚 (@MckL87) reported

    Folks what’s a good Freeview box that allows you to record? I’m currently paying £167 to sky and due to come to the end of my contract and going to cancel, I can’t get IPTV due to work purposes so what’s the best next thing that’s legit?

    @yanto007 @S4Cchwaraeon English commentary will be available on the Red Button on Freeview. Any issues on the day get back to us.

    @HughesOnAir Oh no Howard the end of your show was cut off (on freeview TV at least). Didn't get to hear how to support the show?
