  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @LeeMcilwaine @corylus @BBCSport You’ll never believe it Lee, but you’re wrong. The signal is being cropped on this freeview signal. Cropped on every picture aspect.

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    @StarchyMarchy @LeeMcilwaine @BBCTwo No, poor freeview signal Tim. Same on every setting.

  • carkdale Eastville Gas 1️⃣8️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ (@carkdale) reported from Bristol, England

    @cleanfeed_ttvr I hope that ITV West Country HD is a priority. 🤞 Freeview 103 currently shows Central West, right down to Penzance. Even if it was just the "HTV" variant carried pan-regionally, that would at least be "less wrong" for Devon & Cornwall than news about Brum, Stoke-on-Trent etc.

  • mj_symonds Max the prettyboy (@mj_symonds) reported from Bristol, England

    I pay license fee pretty much entirely because of how good BBC Four is. It is one of the best channels on television (or at least on Freeview, I can't speak for paid) so to axe it would be a terrible shame. #LoveBBCFour please Auntie Been don't kill your best child.

    @eboyde Hi Eimear, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • SunnyL723 SunnyL723 (@SunnyL723) reported

    @lucymirandaward Definitely breaking down barriers. Your comment was my first thought at the time. This is why women's sports needs to be on freeview more often..so much potential for progress.

  • OffTrack94 CJP (@OffTrack94) reported

    @SallyPh30400687 @blazerpete45 @sportbible Right, whilst that is great for womens football, no issue with that, it also should be expected really as the only other big freeview match in the UK in 2022 was the FA Cup Final which obviously is only the interest of 2 clubs rather than an entire country.

    @itvhubhelp what the hell’s going on with itv hub !!! I done everything it still not working! Done all the steps to get it all my other freeview plays okay just itv catch been off nearly a week now !!

  • ghiblifan1 Hawklord71 (@ghiblifan1) reported

    @FryFive @All4 It's now literally the only Freeview catch-up service missing. This reflects badly on both LG and Channel 4 now, as ITV Hub, BBC iPlayer and My 5 seemed to have cut a deal, and popped up in the various updates since I purchased the TV.

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    Some Freeview Play devices may be impacted by a current issue we're experiencing around playback. We are sorry for the inconvenience cause. We appreciated your feedback so far. We are working on it to fix the issue asap. Thank you for your patience,

  • jordanladley Jordan Ladley (@jordanladley) reported

    @virginmedia As many people on here that had the same problem I don’t think it’s an issue where service checker says there is a problem and only happened for one event, other times it seems to be ok just yesterday was an issue and had to turn on freeview instead

  • Kster91 Karl 🐢 (@Kster91) reported

    back to back episodes of Pokémon are on Pop TV (no, I've never heard of it either) Freeview 206 🤓

  • Jayfuz Jayfuz (🗣️Rufus, but Jay) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Jayfuz) reported

    @HookClassic I can't get the Welsh channels and the football is on there, so I Have to watch the matches on iPlayer, it's such a pain. I was scrapping with Freeview about this. Apparently the mountains are in the way of the antenna so I get Liverpool TV instead. Awful stuff.

  • PaulCarmichaelV Paul Carmichael (@PaulCarmichaelV) reported

    @RussPurdie @DefundBBC If the BBC is defunded how do we replace the excellent educational resources it provides to every school and college? How do we maintain the Freeview network which enables the elderly and poor to access free television? How do we replace the Disability Programmes Unit (1/2)
