  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

    @NationalTheatre @Mrs_UW @hillww1 It’s terrestrial if you have Freeview, which I don’t, or you can watch if you have Now, which I don’t, or Sky, which I don’t... I do have National Theatre On Demand, to support the National while it’s shut, but it’s not available there. Such a shame not to be able to watch it.

    @MarkBlackmore33 @StuartYoung001 @RealPaulMartin I only have the virgin media version of freeview so it's not worth me asking for the new box. If I could find a great stable streaming service for free then I would get rid of the VM TV.

    I've actually looked at the TV schedule bc it's Easter, I thought they may have done something a little special... Have they ****! I'm so pleased I'm not reliant on freeview 😳 It's streaming & reading, for me forever now I guess...

  • DJLujoso DJ Lujoso (@DJLujoso) reported

    I've seen no news about any protest In any part of the UK by any of the mainstream 'news' providers on Freeview. There's a lot of the usual gun-totin' **** from the USA, **** knows why we have to watch that, the usual corporate sport garbage - we know why we have to watch that...

  • McChris85 Chris McBride (@McChris85) reported

    @SkyArts How about making your Freeview shows more accessible to watch? When will the Michelangelo documentary be available on Now TV? Perhaps it's time to have an accessible OD service, as I can't see when a repeat is planned at a decent hour!

  • gemariewilliams Gemma Williams (@gemariewilliams) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice just plugged in our new freeview box, only 40 odd channels appearing out of the expected 139 for our area - can you help?

  • Browning_Ellie Ellie Browning (@Browning_Ellie) reported

    Please help. How do I watch Sky Arts without a Sky subscription?Apparently on Freeview? What is it all about.

  • FacileTalk daz boot (@FacileTalk) reported

    Right. 9pm. Sony Movies Classic. Ch 51 Freeview. AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON But if you want to watch Nigella suck baked beans off a carrot, or whatever else is on, that is your choice & you are an idiot.

  • geordiechris48 Chris Johnson (@geordiechris48) reported

    @CourtTVUK Freeview picture breaking up. Seems to be ok on satellite. Are you having problems with Ch 89 or might it be a more localised transmitter problem?

  • glennr77 Glenn (@glennr77) reported

    @virginmedia Well, status page now says error is acknowledged and we'll have no service until 1:30am - which considering we can't get Freeview means it's a boring evening here 😔
