    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

  • OllieHand Ollie Hand (@OllieHand) reported

    @SamSmette Similar really, if theres a catchup service we use that but if its a film or something on, say, Sky Arts (on freeview) I might want to record it. I dont record a great deal.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital While i was on the phone i ask freeview if their were plans for any muxes to switch to t2, absolutely clueless the lady said whats your postcode, i put the phone down. Seens to me dvb t2 plans are either still internal or a long way off.

  • Cartoonist_Rob Rob The Cartoonist (@Cartoonist_Rob) reported

    @Philips It's buggered! Freeview Play and all its associated Apps have all stopped, producing error FVP-300 and FVP-400. Even the @RakutenTV app has stopped. Can you do an urgent fix, please? This is caused from your recent update and many people are affected.

  • Oldcynic9 Granny( wokes will be blocked )Bull. (@Oldcynic9) reported

    @docjmt Thanks, we wondered about freesat because the problem we have with freeview is our signal comes from a secondary mast so can we only get the main TV channels like the ITV channels ,BBC ch4, ch5 & Film 4 most of the other freeview channels are unavailable .

  • Cartoonist_Rob Rob The Cartoonist (@Cartoonist_Rob) reported

    @Philips Hi! As of this afternoon, Freeview Play and associated Apps have started working again. A reply from FVP also states they have had an issue. Hopefully all fixed now. Thanks for your help.

  • JSDMN87 Jen (@JSDMN87) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam since the update the smart box (the freeview version) is really slow and can’t watch tv from the TV guide, have to go into the nowtv bit. Is this issue going to be resolved? Some shows are glitching too. My broadband is working perfectly. #nowtv

  • keithtmccartney KΞiTH 👊😎👊 McCartney (@keithtmccartney) reported

    @redparaman @colinbrazierGBN I have a fairly new LG and the Freeview app came pre-installed, but won't I need a fv aerial for it, it's not going to load anything just because an Internet connection is there, I've never loaded fv before, don't know how it works, I use streaming apps for all media.

  • mimmi_13 MarinaraMeatball (@mimmi_13) reported

    I have a contractor over to finally fix the aerial and the freeview coverage in the house. I offered him tea/coffee but he refused. I am not sure what I am supposed to do right now. The citizenship test did not prepare me for this.

  • Shazza827 💐Sharon CLARK 💐 (@Shazza827) reported

    @Oldcynic9 I use freesat as we are in a rural area. Bought a recorder box at the same time. I would say it is as good as freeview service is in a built up area where you can get all the stations. Film choices leave a lot to be desired. I record the ones I fancy and watch them when I want.

  • GaryEther Gary Ether (@GaryEther) reported

    @dedado6 @GBNEWS No, Freeview and Freesat are different. Freeview is a digital terrestrial service and is received via a TV aerial. Freesat is a satellite service and is received via a satellite dish. The channels are largely the same but there are differences.
