  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

    @IanDunt Having a decent Freeview roof aerial & amplifier really does help. The ITV HD channel is an improvement. I have epic internet & their streaming quality is horrifically bad; just watched the Denmark game I missed yesterday it’s garbage!

  • kopchris88 Chris (@kopchris88) reported

    @alid7997 @ShankillGAWA Not working for me on Freeview mate

  • reg_rover Cyril Henry (@reg_rover) reported

    @GBNEWS Can not receive GBNEWS on Freeview 236, neither can several friends and neighbours ? What are we doing wrong ? Please tweet back any info that will help. Thank you.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported

    @dj85ftm My cousin works for sky & if you cancel, a few weeks later they’ll call you back & offer a decent discount. I’ve cancelled a few times over the yrs & never handed a box back & you can watch the freeview channels through the box

  • AceMan69905395 A very average ordinary guy (@AceMan69905395) reported

    @BBCSport Sorry BBC but I think your coverage this year has been poor compared with previous years. The red button is a waste of time, what's happened to the 601,2,3&4 streams on Freeview? Not everyone wants to watch on phones or tablets, or has an iPlayer enabled TV or the internet!

  • HNM_WClark Will Clark (@HNM_WClark) reported

    Just wondering if anyone in Inverness has had problems with their freeview signal in Inverness in recent days? BBC channels are fine but everything else is crap. Don’t want to climb on to roof to fiddle with aerial. My block of flats are three floors high.

  • sarahjaneparton Sarah Jane Teurakura Parton (@sarahjaneparton) reported

    Hey there, funny question: my folks have moved to Levin and they can’t get Māori TV to work on Freeview on their new TV. It just goes from channel 4 to channel 6 and no channel 15. My bro reckons you can’t get Māori TV everywhere due to reception issues. Is this true? Surely not?

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @a516digital It was almost as though the Freeview reception at work was trolling the people watching in the canteen the other day. Whenever something was about to happen the screen went black and "no signal" only to return when the exciting bit was over.

  • HoveSweetHove99 HoveSweetHove (@HoveSweetHove99) reported

    @itvhub Your streaming on Amazon Fire is SO bad that it's entirely unwatchable. I have no other way of watching it as you've taken yourself off the @tvguide freeview app. So essentially, I can't watch the footy. Disgraceful.

  • loves_rats Vicki McDonald (@loves_rats) reported

    @4Viewers the show was This Way Up on All 4, the advert problem is constant on both my tv and freeview box
