  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

    @FreeviewTV Hi, I’ve had problems with my freeview feed for about a year in the Medway area. It was pixelated for a while and had only channels from no.12 onwards, then no signal again. Later worked for a few days, now no programmes for ages now and retuning doesn’t work.

  • Cartoonist_Rob Rob The Cartoonist (@Cartoonist_Rob) reported

    @Philips Hi! As of this afternoon, Freeview Play and associated Apps have started working again. A reply from FVP also states they have had an issue. Hopefully all fixed now. Thanks for your help.

  • jasondcoles Jason Coles (@jasondcoles) reported

    @LGUK Sorry but its still disappointing, separate apps for each catch service is not user friendly hence the need for Freeview Play. It’s a kick in the teeth for those who have invested in your product, especially as your promoting new models with Freeview Play. We have been let down!!

  • mikeybray17 mikey bray (@mikeybray17) reported

    @LGUK @FryFive @LGUKCare They don't work because the TVs don't have freeview play absolute arseholes get your **** together because there's alot of disappointed people here and you don't care on bit 2021 TVs have it though magically MONSTERS!!

  • 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.

    You can have Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, HBO, Quibi, MUBI, All4, ITV Hub, Freeview, Sky, a hoard of DVDs, a VHS library, a crystal ball, a glass shard cursed by a witch, but if you want to watch a specific movie go **** yourself it’s nowhere

  • Big_Tim47 BigTim47 (@Big_Tim47) reported

    @TaraGrace_ I live in the north (in a city) and can’t even get many UK freeview channels because My service comes through a relay transmitter!
