    @Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV @PhilipsCare I recently purchased a Philips Ambilight 55PUS8204/12 55" Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV with Google Assistant does it support Freeview play as I can't get the apps to work.

  • Dc03Ker Dave Cocker (@Dc03Ker) reported from Gildersome, England

    Pensioners, our TV broke down today, just ordered our first ever HD Freeview TV, paid a TV Licence for 50 years so why not embrace this technology we have paid the BBC for all these year @DefundBBC

  • NEFamilyFun Sam Rickelton | North East Family Fun (@NEFamilyFun) reported from Leeds, England

    @Sharon43068108 Very annoying! They are now showing the same match on BBC 1 AND 2. We are in a hotel room son only have Freeview. Going to watch Bridget Jones Diary on itv2 - I have my fingers crossed it's not too rude for the kids 🤣 (from what I remember, I think it's ok)

  • ukbronco Paul Mitchell #5280 ⚽ 🏈 🏉 🤘🍺 (@ukbronco) reported from Wibsey, England

    @Emmalouisajones @SkyNews Poor retro-protest. You can't cancel Sky News. It's on Freeview.

    @AmazonHelp I bought a Freeview PVR on my new Argos but have since decided I don't want it. It's still ready for collection at the Huddersfield store. What can I do to cancel this and have my card refunded

  • palyniam Paul O'Flynn (@palyniam) reported from Gildersome, England

    @HumaxUK only had this fvp-500t since 7th may 20 and its on the blink, freezes, losing recorded programs and Freeview is so slow. Has updates April 2019 but still poor. I would not recommend this at all.

    @CallumKeith1999 live? Ah **** what if you have freeview?

  • BRIANAL07933883 BRIAN ALLEN (@BRIANAL07933883) reported

    @Aisha_mk @FreeviewAdvice Go into Freeview Play from settings sign in and accept terms and conditions this should solve it

  • jonwensley Jon Wensley (@jonwensley) reported

    @Cyanosis1966 @BATC_London @DPJHodges 1) How do you (technically) have a subscription service that doesn’t require a set top box/internet connectivity? 18m people use Freeview, & 1.8m households have no internet access 3) If you need to pay £20/month to Sky/Virgin to access it, it is more expensive than a licence fee

  • Mc_Lote Mik Lote (@Mc_Lote) reported

    @JeremyVineOn5 No. They provide the Freeview network, are there to inform us in an unbiased way without undue influence from vested interests. Rupert Murdoch could never do that nor any of his successors.

  • CeolinMaxime19 Arahant ⭕️🧬🌶️ (@CeolinMaxime19) reported

    Liz Truss has hinted she will announce more help on the cost of living - as Labour calls for the government to make public the plans it is considering. Sky's has the latest 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • ViolaAppleton6 Viola Appleton (@ViolaAppleton6) reported

    @o_sheilagh @albundysdad No one is forcing you to cancel your sky, Freeview etc. Just watch on demand.

  • Charleygirl76 Charlotte Norris (@Charleygirl76) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Well all this tweeting these past 24 hours seems to be complete waste of time I'm sure you'll agree. No chat is going to help. The issue is clearly your end. Sort it! Thank god Oscars are on Freeview via Sky Arts. After the month I'll be canceling subscription. F'ing Useless!

  • BobScot48804242 Bob Scott (@BobScot48804242) reported

    @RyanMcM89 @hothorrorqueen It's been on mine for ages too but I haven't tracked it down as a Freeview yet.

  • gg_poulloin ggpoulloin (@gg_poulloin) reported

    .@FreeviewTV phew, the new weather patterns of rain that lasts for days. And the awful #Freeview TV, where you search for something to watch and find nothing. And oh the adverts that go on and on and on...

  • JCKB4_ JCKB$ (@JCKB4_) reported

    @acrobat1977 @SkyArts Does it work for you? Sky Arts on Freeview is not working for me!
