    @FreeviewAdvice is Freeview down in Halton ?

  • 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.

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

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

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

    @bad1ands True but I don't think the UK Gov would want to do that as it's too costly. What if mobile network went down? There has to be other ways here. Even if there's emergency broadcast masts put up that transmit on everything. VHF, UHF, Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Cable, etc.

    @Lucindacutexx12 @LeonaLionheart7 @AdultWorkcom Yes if they're quick enough they can dip in and out without paying !! These new rules are stupid. I would never ever sit in Freeview. It's hard enough to make revenue and these rules are creating expectation that we should sit in free

  • mkquinn68 mark quinn (@mkquinn68) reported

    Apparently it’s on the red button channel on Freeview !?!? Still a terrible decision BBC !!!!

  • OooAuto Gita Renik (@OooAuto) reported

    @itvcorrie disappointed that I'll never be able to catch up at the weekend... OAP with freeview not considered worthy 🥴

  • dr1141 D (@dr1141) reported

    @SteveWalesPhoto @StansaidAirport @DavidBflower That's modern technogy, we still have our Baird 405 line set with those spindly screw in legs. Problem is reception of Freesat / Freeview is frankly rubbish. But we like that screensaver when we turn off at night. This fading dot - riveting.

  • ihatemogs Micheál O'Fiach (@ihatemogs) reported

    @crusaders1898 @andrewhdonohoe @Saraita101 No because it's called Saorview here, uses slightly different technology and doesn't carry BBC channels, only RTÉ and a few other domestic channels. Freeview, the UK system, is available in border areas where the signal leaks over the border, impossible to change.

  • JohnRei23687361 John Reid (@JohnRei23687361) reported

    I pay for basic TV Freeview at ,250 pound a year but I am still watching the same old **** I watched 3years ago

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @DCMS A all data Freeview Play is feasible until you notice the signal can go out on a bad placed Ariel but unlike the RF signal version you can't find out the correct way to align the Ariel because you just get no signal no squires of broken channel feed just a disconnect.

  • IANdrewTheGiant IANdrew Dice Clay (@IANdrewTheGiant) reported

    I hear so many people wanting a blue tick. I had one in 2002, it wasnt fun. Blue tick is of course a prolonged twitch you get after finishing yourself during the 10 minute freeview in a computer seat. Never going back there again.

    @FreeviewAdvice we have got freeview at this postcode, the problem is the one for all indoor aerial i'm using. i don't know how those can be allowed on the market because they clearly don't work. in any case, just gonna get a splitter and get signal off of freeview box in other room. thanks tho
