    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @BermondseySE16 @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Try removing your aerial from your TV, returned without the aerial, then put aerial back in and retune again. See if that works. If not, go on freeview website for extra help.

    @a516digital Last time I contacted freeview about the issues, the lady suggested I buy a new scart lead, or my tvs the wrong type.

    @tiltaraiza @AlanKelloggs The great thing about only having Freeview Lite is that this **** show ain’t going to be on my channel list in a hurry

  • KennyandHattie Terry Williams (@KennyandHattie) reported

    @GBNEWS Just retuned. Doesn't show on @FreeviewTV in Copeland, Cumbria. TBH we generally have crap coverage from Freeview here..

  • beezly Andrew Beresford (@beezly) reported

    Anyone else getting weird audio problems with @BBCLookNorth on BBC1 Freeview from Emley Moor transmitter?

  • deembe_ David Brookes 🔶 😷 💙#TruthMatters #FactsMatter (@deembe_) reported

    @JolyonMaugham I must set up a favourites list on Freeview so that channel 236 never gets offered here.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    That's relevant to viewers who have compatibility issues with these channels. HbbTV is mandated for all Freeview Play devices, whereas MHEG is now hit-and-miss.

    @NOWMusic Thank god its only for a short time, my sky dish won't pick up Now80's, its on one of the dodgy low frequencies, really going to miss it until its back on Freeview, you need to fix that sky frequency.

  • bobk1701 Bob Koopman (@bobk1701) reported

    @dish I would like to see The News Pack as a Free channel preview. It never has been in Freeview before.
