  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

    Why do I keep paying for TV service which is shit @BTGroup I get better service on indoor freeview aerial

  • johnworthy27 john worthington (@johnworthy27) reported from Preston, England

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

  • stinky_mitten Nightshift (@stinky_mitten) reported

    @LongCjlsackley1 I have Sky broadband & have very few problems. I got rid of Sky TV & now have Freeview. I also have Netflix & Amazon Prime but not all Progs even old stuff is free on Amazon.

  • pcttons fugitive era ☼ (@pcttons) reported

    sunshine on leith with george mackay in it is such a terrible musical movie but if it’s on the freeview tv guide i’ll watch it 😭

  • Pauljohnsoneggs Paul Johnson (@Pauljohnsoneggs) reported

    @NOWHelpTeam Thanks for the info but resetting the box does not help. The new update and software installed is too much for these black boxes. Are you not releasing a better box to support such an update ? The 4k box doesnt have freeview, not sure why it's even a box..... thank you!

  • auto_tech_pilot caroline mckenzie (@auto_tech_pilot) reported

    @daztraction @smokeybarkid Which is fine while Sky Arts is still on Freeview, a problem when that (inevitably) stops...

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @LeafNWS @a516digital I know what leaf network is getting at, like what I found out about getting ip. Yes you can get freeview play etc, but it's not free after paying an ISP.! It's like getting channel box, it's free, once you pay your ISP.
