    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

    @EamonHegarty I literally watched the match on Freeview via NI and check on my phone too. I was able to stream it via both the RTÉ player app and website. We have Virgin media and a ****** indoor aerial and even it picks up RTÉ Freeview signal.

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...

    Ron Butler (@Macronbo) reported

    @talktoNHG I live in Old Kenton Lane. At least two flats in our block have reported a problem with Freeview that seems to indicate a problem with the communal system. Most flats use Sky. Tried your app but did not have the right options to report.

    @GitGrumpygit Simple, CANCEL IT & use Freeview. Any organisation that shafts me that I can do without, gets cancelled and/or switched.
