    @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

    @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...😳

  • RosalynConnors Ros Connors (@RosalynConnors) reported

    Oh not again! Brighton Festival on @bbcsoutheast Yesterday it was Redhill in the Home Counties @BBCLondonNews area. For God's Sake please let's be rid of this so-called "South-East" news service from the Bluebell Hill Freeview mast with its constant references to Brighton.

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @NikkiDiddams @FreeviewTV Freeview aka crap tv have never been able to supply a decent signal we lost any signal last night from 9pm till 1am I'm actually emailing advertisers to let them know if they had advertised that time period Swindon sn3 and thousands in UK could not see them to get refunds

  • rainbowshaz62 shaz62 (@rainbowshaz62) reported

    Freeview issues in Guildford and surrounding areas been happening more and more. Lost all channels but BBC and Itv and E4 the rest say no signal. Housebound fun times.

  • Barfette Barfette (@Barfette) reported

    @BlightyUK Totes agree, I do not usually watch GMB I watch Sky news on Freeview, BUT THAT morning I couldn't get a signal and was privy to the debacle. I thought he was a weatherman yet he was sitting beside the presenter the other day, ideas above his weather station methinks.

  • LukaMoric14 Brian (@LukaMoric14) reported

    @shattenstone Totally agree Lots of great arts programmes over the years Will they find a home elsewhere or quietly disappear? Has the BBC seen Sky Arts channel on Freeview and thought, that's it, we don't need to bother anymore? Is it the new DG plan to dumb down?

  • TommyCoyneBN1 Tommy Melancholy Goose Honks 🦢 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 😷 Coyne (@TommyCoyneBN1) reported

    My #Freeview signal seems to have died. Either that or my telly is up The Swannee ☹

  • JCLMackn John Macknight (@JCLMackn) reported

    @bbcpointswest Why no reports on Freeview transition problems in the region. We would like to know about massive outages in last 24 hours

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @roger44 @FreeviewTV Wow 3 hours no signal in Swindon what do we get let me tell you. No apology. No explanation. No idea when freeview returns. Total silence. Maybe you need better staff. Better customer service and maybe a new brand, I suggest you try crap tv it's discriptiveand and true. 🤔

  • andrewe12345678 Andrew (@andrewe12345678) reported

    @ReeceShearsmith Channel 68 on Freeview. Never seen this film, will give it a go!
