  • 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.

  • 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)

    @Philips @philips_uk @FreeviewTV 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.

    @MaddFan1 Same thing happened to me a few years ago, I was quite happy watching @AJEnglish on Freeview and then suddenly it went on to freeview HD, which my box wasn't. My problem was finally solved when they started broadcasting live on Youtube.

  • beajayemac bruce macfarlane #RejoinEU A49 (@beajayemac) reported

    @RichardPTh @martindvz No not at all. I've just scanned down all the FreeView channels and there were at least two which weren't featuring Nick the Greek.

  • peter_whiteside Peter Whiteside (@peter_whiteside) reported

    @RachMajor Football is live on the Red Button. Freeview channel 601. 8pm to 10.15pm. No worries about net signal or time lag.

  • PabloAllelli Pablo Allelli (@PabloAllelli) reported

    @GaryinScotland @mandapen Where can't you get Freeview? I can't get all the Freeview channels as I'm about as far away from a transmitter as you can get in the UK, and its not helped by my rubbish aerial, but I can still get at least a couple of dozen channels, even on a bad atmospherics day.

  • Trogdouser PaulTM™ 🇳🇱 #BlijfThuis (@Trogdouser) reported

    @cs192 There isn’t a way *not* to get Freeview. Since 2002. But never let the facts, etc.

  • maggieinlondon Maggie - wear a mask 💙🏳️‍🌈🌱 (@maggieinlondon) reported from Wandsworth, England

    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • peter_whiteside Peter Whiteside (@peter_whiteside) reported

    @Eliza Football is live on the Red Button. Freeview channel 601. 8pm to 10.15pm. No worries about net signal or time lag.

  • NNickcot Nick Cotterill (@NNickcot) reported

    @Sotlive No, on freeview there are hundreds of channels for people to pick. If they subscribe to a TV service, even more. It's not like people didn't have a choice to watch it or turn over.

  • nickthegibbons nick gibbons (@nickthegibbons) reported

    @SimonMcCoyTV Aww feel sorry for you, cos I have 300 plus channels on freeview, so got plenty of choice, and Netflix and amazon prime so not really a problem for me...

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @Darrenjs68 @BBCNews Yes. Its almost like all those hundreds of other channels on yr Sky box or Freeview service don't exist.

  • OmieAKA Omie (@OmieAKA) reported

    @BrixtonBobbyBob @mandapen Yes. Channel 4 or any of the other Freeview channels people never bother watching. Yes , it sucks that favourite shows were cancelled for the night but folk who say there was nothing else on TV are employing hyperbole.
