    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @Claire_Pickard @sueashton3000 Many residents in Sunderland & along the Durham Coast also receive Freeview Channels from the Bilsdale transmitter. The fire is also likely to have knocked out about 30 relay stations, which "feed" on signals from Bilsdale. I wouldn't like to climb up the transmitter to fix it!

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

    Is Keir Starmer the UK’s next prime minister? What would he do with the keys to Number 10 and how would he fix the country’s problems? 🔴 Watch the Labour leader live on @RidgeOnSunday tomorrow at 🕣 8.30am 👉 #Ridge 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

  • M1KE_HARRIS Mike 🇬🇧🚀🍴 (@M1KE_HARRIS) reported

    @UKTVPlayHelp It's not resolved at all. Sharp aquos tv and JVC tv. Tried playing through freeview play and casting via Samsung s22 Ultra. This app is terrible! It happens on no other. Disney plus, Amazon video, Netflix all work fine as do the ones on Freeview play.

    The video with a guy posing as a phone mast engineer claiming he's been told to install a suspicious new circuit when said circuit in the video is clearly from a Freeview TV box because YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE AERIAL CONNECTOR is my no1 favourite conspiracy fail. @StevenWilson777

  • ThatsDoubleA frigmarole (@ThatsDoubleA) reported

    Why ******** is TalkTv now so high up on the channel list on Freeview? What ******** is this ****? 😤

  • 61harpy harpy61@todon.eu (@61harpy) reported

    Bought a new telly before Christmas, because my 6 year old one stopped working. Upgraded to 32" android TV with Freeview but reception is terrible, & wireless isn't 100%. New cable got more channels, but still lousy quality, & upgraded broadband not available for my address. :(

    The ITVX app on Freeview Play TV doesn't support streaming of live channels? That's incredibly poor planning.
