  • 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 😂

    @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.

  • fishinthedark1 fishinthedark (@fishinthedark1) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PayneB44 @tomhfh @BBC Your point was you want a break from it. There’s 1000s of channels, Freeview, YouTube, Sky, NOWTV, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, BRITBOX DVDs, Blu-rays. Boxsets. There’s never been so much content to take your mind off it. Or just turn the telly off.

    @Discovery Don't know if you can help but i'm in the UK & all of a sudden cannot get any of your channels on freeview. Quest, Food Network etc. It just says channel no longer exists. Tried updating channels, scanning for channels etc to no avail. Can you advise?

  • Skelly_Fella skelly fella (@Skelly_Fella) reported

    using a service such as Freeview, Sky (satellite), Freesat (satellite) or Virgin Media (cable). If not, you'll need to set up your main TV to receive Digital TV. How to get Digital TV  If you have a video recorder, DVD recorder or hard-disk recorder (PVR) connected to your main

  • ManilaChinchila wtf_Daniel (@ManilaChinchila) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I've lost the Freeview signal my TV receives since last night because of the storm. If I sent you my postcode, could you check what the status will be for the transmitter to be up and running again please?

  • Lutzoid Stephen Farrell (@Lutzoid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice quick question folks. Just bought a new TV and the Freeview Play app is installed. I honestly don't know if this is an on demand service or a live broadcast service (or both?) I have no TV aerial, nor TV licence as I haven't watched live broadcast TV for years.

  • brains2laurie Brian Laurie (@brains2laurie) reported

    @channel5_tv Yes.. 7mins before the end your channel 5+1 has gone down on Freeview #dissapointed

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @smurph25 @cleanfeed_ttvr Until earlier on, the slot was showing a Saorview information video. 544x576 SD, same resolution as Sky News on Freeview.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Obviously today they'd be issues anyway but generally speaking finding Freeview HD muxes far less resiliant than they used to be. As much as I think a switch to an HD/T2 only platform is long overdue I guess there are advantages to having the SD backup for the main chanenls.

  • amywhite2512 Amywhite2512 (@amywhite2512) reported

    @ThatsTVScotland what the actual **** is going on right now on freeview channel 8 😯😯

  • missmint charliebrown (@missmint) reported from Carryduff, Northern Ireland

    @LGUKCare @LGUK I am unable to get any freeview channels. Other TVs in house working. Did a retune, factory reset and tried in different rooms. Still not picking up freeview. Usually works with no issues at all. Netflix etc working

  • retrofan1980 Mark Boreham (@retrofan1980) reported

    Considering ditching Freeview and moving to Freesat. I live in an area where we only get about 70% of channels whilst 20 miles away I'd get the full service. Also at times the Freeview signal is getting bad.
