    @TalkingPicsTV Please make an Xbox app for encore. It would compete me (terrible freeview reception means I can’t get the broadcast channel)

  • Mark29507122 Mark (@Mark29507122) reported

    @Clare16652923 @Nigel_Farage Problem is you can't watch any free live TV on other channels. That law needs to change. The BBC should be removed from Freeview as it's pay TV. On sky & virgin the picture can be scrambled. People then should be free to watch any channel except the BBC without a licence

    @mrcookie_jay @looksunfamiliar I saw a few recently on some obscure freeview channel. The Kremmen segments are Cosgrove hall? I think. But bad. Terribly bad!!!

  • arranmclean1 Arran McLean (@arranmclean1) reported

    @talktalk freeview tv not working AGAIN-3rd time in 2 wks. Multiple days at a time. On day 4 of latest outage now. No problems with cables. Resetting router&box and retuning doesn’t work. I’m not ringing again as the call centre people don’t understand. Website no help

  • Clarkson1977 Sirius (@Clarkson1977) reported

    @BBC I have no internet at home, watch only what’s on Freeview, haven’t used the iPlayer in at least 3 years, don’t “listen again” and have never downloaded a podcast in my life. Yet I am expected to pay the same as somebody who uses all these aspects of your service?

    @Charlyf_81 Loads on Freeview and try a Prime or a Disney+ membership for a month trial.. then cancel it..

  • shortflyslip Andrew (@shortflyslip) reported

    @robert_t_bruce I guess the real issue is that there doesn't appear to be a decent like-for-like replacement for VodafoneTV. Some options include the Freeview streaming app, but that is hugely undermined because it will be shutting down later in the year.

    @terry562506 @AmazonHelp How? I've had this problem since I bought the new TV 2 weeks ago. The smaller ombre in the bedding works fine. The new one gets PLR 5027error and a couple others when I try to play Freeview movie or TV show.

    @FreeviewTV People shouldn't waste their money. Freeview ourages have been horrendous recently. You note a few most reports but don't list all the areas affected, which include most of the country. No access to TV at all is most recorded complaint but many have total blackout. Make it work!
