    @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...😳

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    @NetflixUK as gone shit pay to see old flims that you get free on Freeview so what's the point 👊👊👊👊👊

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • collegeflunky Sean Vickers (@collegeflunky) reported from Radcliffe, England

    @FreeviewAdvice any advice?Unable to watch terrestrial tv properly since Winter Hill update in August. Retuned Humax box and Hisense tv numerous times but still an issue #winterhill #freeview #

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @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

  • sazenrose Sarah Gerrard (@sazenrose) reported

    After 3 attempts (partly due to Freeview issues 🙄) I have finally got to the end of #StarTrekVoyager. 🥳 Gonna miss my dose of Delta Quadrant Trek.

  • sarahpegg9 Sarah Pegg🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScottishIndependence (@sarahpegg9) reported

    @jtlightbody BBC Parliament - Freeview 232, noon. However, if you want to retain your sanity, I suggest that you record it. I fear that Spaffer is going to be at his smirking worst!

  • ericdn627 Eric Norton (@ericdn627) reported

    @ParodyFPL @TransponderTV I'm sure nothing, other than a removal of channels as the BBC shuts them down or otherwise makes them unavailable on Freeview, which appears inevitable.

  • fluffmitten Fluffmitten 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️ (@fluffmitten) reported

    @DaveOufc They could do it like Freeview - core channels are free, then you can choose to pay for add-ons. All this tech exists, they've just never had to consider it before

  • GregHallsworth Greg Hallsworth (@GregHallsworth) reported

    @rogermosey I fear those advocating a subscription model would be happy to see Freeview shut down 😢

  • KevinCore Kevin Core (@KevinCore) reported

    Media Show actually getting into the big issue with a subscription BBC. Freeview. How do 18m, generally older people, who may skew Tory, watch Strictly?

  • merseymale PRIME RADIO LIVERPOOL (@merseymale) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Had no signal for three days now and engineer not coming until Thursday. Frustrating and we don’t have freeview either not what I am paying for

  • Glawseagle Glawseagle (@Glawseagle) reported

    @BackOnYourTL @thefulltoss Oh I like that ... and put the coverage on some dodgy freeview channel way down the sky list so I will never have the chance of catching 1 second

  • JustLEAVEeu Just Leave.EU (@JustLEAVEeu) reported

    Just because we’re in a “universal broadcasting bad place”, is not an excuse not to bite the bullet and move to a subscription model to fund the BBC. Yes, some people reliant on Freeview will lose out, that’s life! There are other ways to enjoy life, go 2 the pub, church, mosque

  • craftymiss Sharon MacDonald-Armitage (@craftymiss) reported

    @Theatremonkey1 @Freeview @FreeviewAdvice Oh wow, never knew that was happening
