    @Ossyref I know but it’s not on Freeview. Not everyone has YouTube for TV or ability to watch on app. We ok as have Virgin but it’s still crap they ain’t showing it for others.

    @pauljonesking Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Freeview Play service. So we can look into this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • angefitzpatrick Ange Fitzpatrick 🏳️‍🌈 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@angefitzpatrick) reported

    @space_librarian @libmichelle We never went above BBC Four on Freeview, unless it’s a hop to Cbeeies - thank god that worked. Our home-made internet was actually better than the BT provider, but our booster aerials were in the church spire and the pub… which made Teams calls weird in lockdown

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview TV reception has been awful in Portsmouth for months. It's getting worse. Please do something about it, your service is a joke.

    of all the streaming services I use (there are many as I don't have freeview, sky or virgin) @ITV is by far the worst... works as and when it wants, freezes, jumps, and won't let you pause/rw or fw... thank goodness I don't watch many of their shows...

  • Ex_Uknova Gary MacKenzie (@Ex_Uknova) reported

    @SirEdwardBooth @DavidPoulden You never paid the BBC , you paid TV Licencing which you need to pay to watch GBNews live on Freeview or Sattelite.

    @angefitzpatrick @libmichelle I have lived IN Edinburgh for the past 12 years. Our last house is on the edge of the city but definitely in it. On rainy days Freeview only picked up 4 TV channels and when we moved out in 2019 there was still no cable so internet was glacially slow.

    @johubris @jarrod__baker Ok I feel like a bit of an idiot, but it transpires the Freeview app is actually working on our tv now. I thought it’d been canned but I seem to have live tv.

  • Gpearce555 Greg (@Gpearce555) reported

    Absolutely stupid that Amazon has made watching Parcs and Recreation now almost unbearable to watch because even though you still have prime you still have to watch it through their Freeview service so there's no way to get rid of the ads...

    @ToshibaUSA when will the software be updated for the fire TV I purchased from @ArgosHelpers in October 22 re the picture flickering black. You say it's an issue with Freeview and the software on the tv
