  • 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

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

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

    @FreeviewTV @LGUKCare @FreeviewAdvice Help! Freeview has disappeared from my LG TV. Cant work out how. Missed the footie! Need the service back before the final!

  • TeamDorling Team Dorling (@TeamDorling) reported

    @MFC_Steve @LBC @HenryRiley1 It's on TV less than men's football and less than Emmerdale... You can just not watch it. I hate tennis but do I complain when we have multiple channels of tennis during Wimbledon? No. Nothing is being rammed down your throat. Freeview alone has 100 channels.

  • TheBunion118 PJ (@TheBunion118) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Receiving message on a black screen stating 'To view this service please connect your device to the internet' on 103 ITV HD and 104 C4 HD after 10pm on freeview TV. Clears by morning. What's going on as it seems to be happening to loads of people?

  • cta84 Craig Atkins (@cta84) reported

    @MelissaJH_ **** sake. TMF on freeview special, that. Are we the oldies now?

  • TheMilkyDelight Chris Reynolds (@TheMilkyDelight) reported

    @HLTCO When I was at uni, I had a freeview box or something and it had Sky Sports News. **** it was repetitive, but it was on all day in my room.

  • GeeTeeMcBee Gee Tee McBee 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 (@GeeTeeMcBee) reported

    @TheDaviebhoyCFC @BBCSportScot Take it your stolen fire stick was broken for the Euro qualifier? You'll be glued to it on Freeview tonight though won't you? Creepy little man.

  • wpoel William Poel (@wpoel) reported

    The Freeview TV service was technically compromised when the greedy government sold its spectrum to cellphone operators. It does not work for a significant amount of time each year. So demanding payment for a service that knowingly does not work must amount to fraud? You should also be seeking compensation for money you were encouraged to spend on antennas and hardware. See com for details.

  • westerby1 Norma (Stuckasaurus) Roberts (@westerby1) reported

    This is driving me mad, can anyone help? I've a HUMAX freeview recorder to record commercial TV so I don't have to watch all the adverts on catchup or pay not to! When it's recording something, the picture on another channel fills my TV screen (43") but when it isn't, it doesn't?

  • TracksideNZ Trackside NZ (@TracksideNZ) reported

    Between 3am and 6am tomorrow morning there is another planned outage on Freeview that will affect our Trackside 1 and 2 channels. At this time Freeview customers will be unable to watch either Trackside 1 or Trackside 2. We appreciate your understanding.
