    @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.

    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)

  • 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.

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

  • SLCollindridge Sean Collindridge (@SLCollindridge) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @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

  • julianvallis Julian Vallis (@julianvallis) reported

    Hey @ITV, this is your annual reminder to fix your @itvhub app to play any video at all on a Freeview Play TV (LG). Will uninstall for now.

  • murcanpolitics 'Murcan Politics (@murcanpolitics) reported

    @TheWestonMike @JohnJCrace @gordonrlove Ah, yeah you so need a license to watch Freesat or Freeview live. Not if you watch All4 though. That's a streaming service which you don't need a license for. My bad.

  • cmh0000 Christine (@cmh0000) reported

    Anyone in Guernsey having problems with Freeview?

  • IanTurnberry IanC 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌈 (@IanTurnberry) reported

    I'm going to treat myself to a big bar of chocolate today. Apart from being a clever little boy FINALLY setting up my new TV and Freeview Recorder and Google Laptop I also had good news on my diabetes, still OK and my blood pressure, normal. Umm maybe chocolate isn't a good idea

  • HurstLlama Hurst Llama (@HurstLlama) reported

    @bedford_colleen I think our TV is 40 something inches, had it a good few years but I've never watched it. Herself, who does watch TV, dumped Sky years ago - not worth the money she said; now uses something called Freeview (?).

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @SherlocksSpring don't watch that crap, haven't since Wright did it. New name, same old bigoted **** from #ScourgeOfTheTvChannels who is no longer on my Freeview box. @gnomeicide

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @IsraelHands2 If the problem persists it might be worth speaking with Freeview advice line on 03456 505050 as there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get us.

  • JohnBrienMusic John Brien (@JohnBrienMusic) reported

    @PauletteFarrell @thecricketmen Do you really think it hasn't suffered and cricket too. How many people will cancel sky when they have to cut back as millions will with the cost of living going up so terribly. And what is FTA ? Free if you already have sky or actually available on Freeview or just plain TV ? I

  • embee200 Mark Anthony Cameron 🇬🇧 (@embee200) reported

    @VoiceofCal It's only if you watch or record live TV or watch anything on iPlayer which is the BBC's own video on demand service. This includes any channel broadcasting in the UK, Sky, freesat, even freeview tv-the channels preprogrammed into a TV when you buy it.

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    Freeview is a bit crap at times, no BBC channels at the moment.
