  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

  • donk0802 Mick Robinson (@donk0802) reported

    @antonyrayworth @virginmedia I pay £135 and had the same mate I waited on the phone 50min to cancel it and they don’t give a **** they said drop the sports, HD AND 3 of the MULTIROOMs and you only have to pay £89. So that’s internet and Freeview???

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    Tried to watch "Putin - the road to War" on PBS America and PBS America + 1 - 84/87 on freeview. Unwatchable owing to "interference". Never any problems with this channel previously. I wonder....

  • Stiggylou Sam (@Stiggylou) reported

    High tide and lost all my freeview channels. I probably need to get a fixed aerial at some point. First World problems.

  • Happytoberight Need to Know (@Happytoberight) reported

    @canadiancarol1 Returned your freeview tv and watch @talkTV channel 237 starting 25th April. @GBNEWS will have to rethink its crap news. As for the rest don't watch them either.

  • rxtv_info RXTV Info (@rxtv_info) reported

    And soon BT will be getting in on the IPTV act. It doesn't yet have a mini-box, but its YouView TV service - currently a hybrid of Freeview terrestrial & online-delivered channels is also moving towards all-IP delivery.

  • mar17014531 Amad09 🇺🇦🇪🇺💚🌍🌳🚲 (@mar17014531) reported

    @Centuries_Sound @scottygb I always wonder why on earth the BBC doesn't use one or more of the Freeview channels to broadcast programs from its archive. There are hundreds of wonderful old shows that never get seen. Wasted opportunity 🙁

  • hygienistdirect ShaunyF1Mcl🧡 (@hygienistdirect) reported

    @buckstack4 I just do freeview, prime and NOW I cancel NOW during the closed season. F1 is the only sport I watch and at £25 pm it is an affordable way to watch the racing (very nearly) live

  • LaurenceBraith1 Laurence Braithwaite (@LaurenceBraith1) reported

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.
