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

  • 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.

    Bear in mind that the original Freeview (UK) group was launched back in 2002 so Channel 5 is only 20 or so years late Must have been all of that Public Service stuff they were organising which meant they couldn't join the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky 16/

  • David67016669 David and the random numbers (@David67016669) reported

    @BootstrapCook I have a traditional aerial in the loft which runs down to a socket in the lounge, which works for Freeview. Upstairs I have an electrical aerial amplifier for the same.

    @BootstrapCook @_SarahAlice_ Can you drill through the floor and feed it through? Anyway I used to use a smart TV to watch freeview with no issues x

  • rchdnv Richard D (@rchdnv) reported

    Has anyone else solved the problem of watching @SkyArts on Samsung TV Plus? I'm starting to think that TV Plus ≠ Freeview is the problem.

  • katy_whitton Katy (@katy_whitton) reported

    And talk about being late to the party in December 2021 it was announced that Channel 5 had joined the organisation responsible for Freeview and Freesat, Digital UK, becoming the last of the UK's major Public Service Broadcasters to join the body 15/

    @scottiepark45 @BBCSportScot I agree, I'd much rather it was freeview, but 2 things: 1)It isn't the SFA that sold the rights it was UEFA, so not much could be done about it 2)There have been 'positive' talks about free to air games, which never happened with Sky Hopefully it ends up being better for the fans

    @joelist This is very interesting. PBS have a UK Freeview channel so you'd think they could just show it there if they really wanted to, but they don't (and never have) owned the rights. I read that a lot of Sesame Street's income was from DVDs, and that has now vanished.

    From June the 1st Freeview is switching off Now the cost of Living Now is the time to cancel your TV licence

  • viridispicus _insert witticism here_ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@viridispicus) reported

    @BootstrapCook It depends on signal strength, direction to transmitter, and what's in the way. Digital signals (such as Freeview) are broadly binary: the TV understands enough, you have a picture - or nothing. Amplifiers exist, but they amplify noise as much as signal, so beware promises.

  • missTfied66 Ditsy1/Debbie (@missTfied66) reported

    @theipaper we had to pay for cable to watch bbc etc as not in a freeview signal area..so paid double. got fed up with them being tory mouthpiece and platform for farage etc. Then we kept the licence just to watch PMQs between torys n corbyns labour as we stopped our cable tv. After the
