    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. 👍

  • 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

  • FormulaStoo Stoo G (@FormulaStoo) reported

    Bad news: confirmation that FreeSports will be leaving Freeview next week Good news: looks as though the FreeSports Player will still be available to watch the channel online. Fingers crossed, anyway

  • colinsplace Colin Dowling (@colinsplace) reported

    @QuestTV hold up. I love this channel. Why are you closing down the HD channel on Freeview??

  • LuminolNights Ethan Black (@LuminolNights) reported

    I have a tv and I’ve never even accidentally come across GB News or wherever it is that Piss Morgan steals his bread. Where is it broadcast, freeview?

  • Andrew1970Robin Andrew Robinson (@Andrew1970Robin) reported

    @ChannelboxTV Hello on searching Channelbox Freeview 271 it was showing a bug the loading bar was motionless as if frozen please fix this problem as soon as possible. Thank-you.

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    Big mistake to remove @BBCNews HD from Freeview. Hotels, airline lounges, foyers etc where BBC has prevailed for years will switch to another news service rather than retrofit freesat or IP based solutions just to keep the same channel :(

  • CatONineTalez Cat O’ Nine Tales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CatONineTalez) reported

    @CatwomanNation I’ll give it a whirl but I’ve never done one of these tier things before so I’ve a feeling it will be like watching your granny trying to work the Freeview box…

  • AndrewxxP Andrew Pickering (Lord of Bolingbroke)🇺🇦🇪🇺🚀🚢 (@AndrewxxP) reported

    Allowing @BBCNews HD channel to drop out of Freeview is a huge error. Poor choice. @newswatchbbc

  • dzonershow Association of Cartoon Talent & Services by Darren (@dzonershow) reported

    @RegularTweetsUK Also the HD versions of BBC News and Discovery Quest airing on freeview are shutting down next week due com7 band phasing out for 5g spectrum

  • htwcentral Historical Television Website (@htwcentral) reported

    @whocolour @WhyNotts_ @Forces_TV Also from what I've read in the past, there's a future intention to further slim down Freeview to make way for more mobile frequency allocations and the subsequent switch to HD will mean only twelve or so channels in total. There won't be any +1 services so not as bad as it seems

  • derek500 Derek (@derek500) reported

    @afneil Just found out the BBC News is losing its HD slot on Freeview (107) next month and will only be available further down the EPG on 231 along with GB News and Talk TV. May impact its figures.
