    @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 !

    @em_cooper Read your book backlog instead. Pretend you're on holiday with a crap aerial and freeview, the only choices being Bargain Hunt or a repeat of A Home In The Sun.

  • LuckyTarget Lucky Target Comics - back issue webstore (@LuckyTarget) reported

    Watching live Freeview for the first time in years and it is hour after hour, dozens of channels full of utter crap. How do people still watch this? Streaming has spoiled me.

  • JohnTurner2021 John Turner (@JohnTurner2021) reported

    @TPTVEncore @TalkingPicsTV Incredibly slow loading on a Panasonic Viera 49ES500. Even with the cache files preloaded. Also, no indication that the red button has been pressed to show the app is actually loading. All other Freeview+ services working fine.

  • EMcG67 Eamonn McGuinness (@EMcG67) reported

    @Flintaxe @BBCiPlayer Hello again. I seem to have fixed this issue. I didn't have a TV aerial connected to the back of the TV itself (I use a BT box.) Once I connected to the back of the TV, iplayer worked as it operates via the Freeview Play platform. Hope this works for you.

    @D0nATr0n @UberFacts Actually Breaking Bad series 1 and 2 was on FX, then 5USA showed it on Freeview. Didn’t go any further than series 3

  • Bickiebeej beej (@Bickiebeej) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV hi, We have a brand new TV, Internet and freeview but we get as far as pressing OK to watch something then a blank screen, with the red button service. Are we not doing something obvious maybe?

  • itvhubhelp ITV Hub Help (@itvhubhelp) reported

    @NikkiGoldblatt @itvhub Can you please check for updates by clicking on the Freeview Play button, go to Settings, go to System Information, and select Check for Updates. If the issue persists please DM us with a screenshot or photo of the System Information screen.

    @MrAbelMagwitch A lot of University students also have access to "Box of Broadcasts" an online catchup service which can show tv programs from all the main freeview channels... they can stream BBC content on without needing a TV license.
