  • 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 😂

    Wretched Freeview! Why can’t they put the normal channel, and the channel+1 next to each other in the listings! You have to scroll down into the yonder channels to find the +1s!!!! And why isn’t there are BBC1+1 and BBC2+1????

  • AmigaBoing AmigaBoing.net Blog (@AmigaBoing) reported

    @FreeviewTV why is Barnoldswick, BB18 5BX, Lancashire still getting a limited Freeview Service, (I think its West Martin Transmitter) - Analogue was switched off decades ago? (asking for a friend) - He doesnt even get @ChallengeTV or @TalkingPicsTV channels🤬

  • BarrieDarke Barrie Darke (@BarrieDarke) reported

    @gordon_dudgeon @profsked @edglasgow59 I read you can delete the BBC from your Freeview by having a piss down the back of your TV. Haven't tried it myself, but let me know how you get on.

  • Ninjafairy2 Wendy-Jane #3569 #ActuallyAutistic #FBIW #FBPE (@Ninjafairy2) reported

    @SpudFromDublin @Hookademus @MattAndo63 Sorry to jump in ... but our BT box is connected to our rooftop aerial. My older freeview tv in other room is too for freeview channels (& only 21 tv channels at that) . Signal goes down quite often. No dish. No cable.

  • ringo_rabbit Lisa Woods (@ringo_rabbit) reported

    @March_Hare2 @EnglishFolkfan Oh dear,only most,not all?! We never used it much because we recorded things which clashed but our Youview box packed up a few weeks ago,so we only have Freeview through the aerial and can't record at the moment.

  • unit_korg Korg Unit 🇬🇧🇧🇻🇺🇸 (@unit_korg) reported

    @tws4042 Just hold on a couple of more weeks, GB News is here on the 31st of May. Freeview Channel 236. The test signal is already broadcasting, you may have to re tune your TV.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @jax20206 Hi, there hasn't been any update to Freeview recently. Was it an update to the Freeview Play app or perhaps the software on the TV? Updates to apps should not affect your TVs connection to your SKy service.

  • hischeekiness CheekyMcB (@hischeekiness) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital The OFCOM EPG rules brought in in January this year mean PSB channels have to be in the Top 24 EPG slots at least, so 124 is the absolute lowest for Sky BBC3 broadcast return. The rules coming in were why all the Freeview channels shuffled down 1 for BBC4 getting 24 in Scotland.
