    @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.

    @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)

    @FreeviewAdvice why for the second day running do I have no Freeview TV signal after 12:00 . Picture came back on last night at 9pm. Ok this morning but gone again at 12:00 - very poor !!!

  • SClubBethan SClubBethan (@SClubBethan) reported

    Watching the news, we now only have Freeview for real telly. When we had Virgin Media we got Points West. Delighted that we get Midlands today with @nickowentv. We don’t live in the midlands any more but never mind.

  • froddd Fred (@froddd) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice what’s the deal with @LGUK TVs not getting FreeView Play? One of their customer reps mentioned licensing issues, others say your developers are working on finishing apps for new TVs (odd, given those apps worked perfectly fine on same WebOS Last year). What gives?

  • snoop2003 John Wilson (@snoop2003) reported

    @BBCiPlayer hi. Is there a way to turn off the iplayer pop up notifications on freeview so they don’t interrupt the programme I’m watching please?

  • scog27 Stuart (@scog27) reported

    @FreeSports_TV Why can I not get this channel when I have freeview. It doesn’t appear in amongst my channel list? I’ve tried channel 64 several times and I can’t get it. Please help!

  • AndyHal78102450 Andy Hale (@AndyHal78102450) reported

    @Argos_Online I have just purchased a TV - model ue43tu7020k. I was told by your customer service people that Freeview was available. I cannot download it. Have I been mislead ?

  • btbusinesscare BT Business Care (@btbusinesscare) reported

    @Caitcrafter @BT Hi, Freeview is the system BT use but I don't know enough about this as business do not currently offer the service. My colleagues in Residential @BT_UK do so I have tagged them in to reply if they can help. Thank you for highlighting this

    @brianmoore666 Nativitity! (Martin Freeman). I recorded this on my Freeview box last Xmas, never deleted it, and rewatched it last week.

  • mrparker666 Simon Parker (@mrparker666) reported

  • ValidoWilliam Spooky Ghost (@ValidoWilliam) reported

    Hi @SKYNZ I don't know if you are aware of this, but is The Edge TV channel working on your side, because it's not working for people who have Freeview :(
