    Flying ******* knee...just watching UFC 239 via the retro route. If it ain't on freeview on BT then that's not a problem, I've been watching this since '93. #masvidal is a monster

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview channels were broken up so I tried to retune, and only South TV channels came up & only BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and the children's BBC channels. So I tried retuning again and I can find not ONE single channel. Please help me. Thanks

    @BritBox_UK @ITVX This sounds like a repeat if the Ondigital saga, became ITVDigital closed down and became Freeview.

    @HisenseGlobal I have just bought a Hisense smart tv. Was told by the shop it has freeview. However, it’s freeview plus which seems to mean I can only watch tv through the individual channel apps and not able to get a tv listings of all channels to scroll through. Can you help?

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @BlitzExternals Hi, there. If the TV isn't letting you accept the Freeview Play Terms and Conditions, check to see if there's a software update available for the TV. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the TVs manufacturer for further support. Fraser

    @lottyburns We have Freesat as the signal for terrestrial Freeview at our house has never worked so need the dish but we don’t have and subscription TV so apart from initially paying for the Freesat Recorder box it costs nothing.

  • leon_dave_smith Leon Smith ❄️ (@leon_dave_smith) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I am currently without @SkyHelpTeam as it down to my block management to deal with, so I’m trying to watch freeview via my tv but it is not picking up BBC or ITV, can you suggest what else I can do

  • Miles_Devine Miles Devine (@Miles_Devine) reported

    @smarttowelrg Just checked there through Freeview. Not working either. Madness when you think about it.

  • EssenceofCG C Thomas (@EssenceofCG) reported

    I don’t have Freeview at home and ITVX is not working on my laptop I’m gonna cry

  • rachelgmarks Sir Rachel Marks 🦟(imagine it's blue) (@rachelgmarks) reported

    @joeb_EY Analog TV has, I think, now been switched off everywhere, so you'll need to access Freeview. Check with your neighbours whether they get a Freeview signal - mountains can be pesky (bad enough where I am with gentle hills!). I solved it by getting a Roku Express to convert...

  • MatTheExBot mat (@MatTheExBot) reported

    @dogdownlockdown @LostatLothric @adlow76 But surely you can eventually watch WSS on some sort of freeview service, no? What's weird is that Elgort's currently appearing in a show, Tokyo Vice, that's just started on the BBC.

    I'm sorry, mum and dad. The shelf in the living room didn't fall down because of dad's shoddy work or mum putting too many figurines on it. I hated them watching me while I was trying to enjoy the 10 minutes freeview so I pulled the shelf down. Sorry about the 20 year argument
