    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • nessymon Nessy 😷 (@nessymon) reported from London, England

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

  • crazycol Colin Wiseman (@crazycol) reported from Ealing, England

    @stevieboywise If that’s Freeview maybe due to high pressure issue again.

  • UB5simon Simon Bye 🐟🔶 (@UB5simon) reported from Southall, England

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • 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 😂

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • EranE1980 Eran Edry (@EranE1980) reported from Camden Town, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • iandraper84 ian draper (@iandraper84) reported

    @1FCKobe No problem on the siorview/freeview combi box

  • GRR_No2 Gina G 🌻 (@GRR_No2) reported

    Client who I've repeatedly told that we still don't have freeview has just got curry's out to 'fix' his TV cos it wasn't tuning 🙃 How many times does one person need to be told the same thing!?

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Not massively surprising, I mean for quite a while their brand was being a low cost no strings tv service to add a few extra channels to Freeview for people who didn't want or couldn't afford Sky/Virgin, so it makes sense their routers would be budget as well.

  • LunaForeverr Luna. 💙🌙 (@LunaForeverr) reported

    @Sylvie_124 I had a TV similar to this but in black, never watched VHS tapes since I was born as DVDs were replacing VHS, but I remember watching cartoons on DVD and on Freeview channels on bunny ears aerial before they got phased out too

  • sw1a0aa Gareth Milner (@sw1a0aa) reported

    @JustSteve68 Online service I’m afraid, not watched much Freeview/Sky over past few years unless I’m staying at my dads

  • daryl_millar Daryl Millar (@daryl_millar) reported

    If Freeview channels do get together to launch a joint streaming service, they could have pop-up channels for specific events like on iPlayer. Then if live events like the W Series are delayed, they could be streamed rather than going off air.

  • LE_Graeme Graeme P (@LE_Graeme) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @valentepencil Here in the central region, during heavy rain most of my Freeview channels occasionally pixalate and lose the signal (though strangely not the BBC channels), yet my sister in the Anglia region only loses the BBC channels...

  • lazyfred1971 Fred 1971 - anti-Tory / pro-EU (@lazyfred1971) reported

    @gary8man she gets Al Jazeera on freeview telly. firestick wouldn't help her, she's not on the interweb & has no intention of starting now....

  • JoshMetcalfe Josh Metcalfe (@JoshMetcalfe) reported

    @greeniememes Damn I was hoping you'd give us the word. The Chinese channels on freeview are no help, though that could be because I don't understand Mandarin or Cantonese

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported
