    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

    BBC to "support the distribution of S4C services across multiple platforms". Adds weight to comment in BBC Three Public Interest Test about allocating bandwidth to S4C HD in Wales on Freeview.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Im talking about bbc on sky and freesat of course, and itv when you know how to tune it in. But this will be good news, i hope it also triggers some form of support for freeview users.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • CaseyPrue Casey Prue (@CaseyPrue) reported

    @7plus why is your Freeview app not working. Constantly loading. Have not received reply from tech support. Panasonic viera TV. All other channels work fine.

  • shanesaysthat Shane Mc Quillan (@shanesaysthat) reported

    @ClarNiUigin I wasn't sure how it worked on a free freeview box so was hoping it was a simple solution for you! Sometimes just a quick look can find these things. Glad it worked out

  • Big_Tim47 BigTim47 (@Big_Tim47) reported

    @S66Cams @leximaecarter If only we could have Lexi on for just part of the night! Stayed up to stupid o’clock to discover she’s ON FREEVIEW for HOURS not appearing in Sky at all!! We pay a frigging SKY subscription! Feel ripped off after signing up today! Is this a piss take?!

  • 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.

  • joglitter Joanne Sykes (@joglitter) reported

    @gazpunch Strangely though... If the weather's really windy, wet & stormy every channel appears. But on a calm, nice sunny day the signal strength is appalling and the few channels I do have constantly crackle... I HATE FREEVIEW! It's bloody crap these days.

  • 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
