    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    @MarketaDee @CNN Freeview has never worked for us for some reason.. will try again. Thanks.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • FedUpWithBadAir Dave Peterson (He/Him) Ⓥ 🇨🇦 (@FedUpWithBadAir) reported

    @ECOWARRIORSS Besides, what about places without high-speed Internet access? At least Freeview is available in places where cellular and Internet signals aren't... What a terrible and misguided plan.

  • SimonVisitor Simon Bridger (@SimonVisitor) reported

    It's been announced the BBC News HD Channel will dissappear from freeview, however the service will broadcast in SD only on channel 231. This is happening due to the sale of COM7 to EE for their 5G network. I'm none to happy about this, putting it mildly.

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @whocolour @WhyNotts_ @Forces_TV Also from what I've read in the past, there's a future intention to further slim down Freeview to make way for more mobile frequency allocations and the subsequent switch to HD will mean only twelve or so channels in total. There won't be any +1 services so not as bad as it seems

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview, on their webpage, state they were having issues since 6am today. No , it started at 4.20pm GMT yesterday. My watching of tennis at Queens had just started. Ryan had just started playing. Had to catch up with data only on my phone.

  • adrianjhaigh Jim Haigh. (@adrianjhaigh) reported

    @GBNEWS , Can someone please tell me why , when I'm watching on Freeview , does my GBNews signal keep breaking up when there's bad weather coming from the west . It doesn't happen on other channels .

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Is the service down webpage states no problems with freeview today. Odd as my signal still has not returned. If this continues for one more week I will dispense with my TV licence and watch DVD's and videos and use my laptop.

    @andybegbiea Hi Andy, you're speaking with Clem this afternoon. I'm sorry to learn that your Freeview recorder box didn't run an initial set up. Please return it to store with your proof of purchase and our store staff will be happy to help you further. -Clem

    My TV aerial feels lonely, first the analogue signal gone, now no digital freeview signal for two days. You would think they would have a backup.
