  • 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.

    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🎅🤶🌲

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

    @cleanfeed_ttvr I find this practice annoying mostly because if they don't flag each episode with "New..." the series link doesn't work, at least on Freeview anyway. Plus it highlights just how many 'encore presentations' are on even the main channels now.

  • Sarah_binka1 Sarah (@Sarah_binka1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice we are having signal errors and the picture is jumping and sound cutting out of freeview channels. Is there a signal problem? Tw18 area

  • DaveyBoi73 Dave ♿️ Esq (@DaveyBoi73) reported

    @Fibutton Which TV service do you use? Really is available on Freeview 17, Freesat 160, Sky 142, Virgin 129 and discovery+ UK.

  • gardeninguy Guy Cook (@gardeninguy) reported

    Pops has his TV back, and me turning Router off @ night, safety reasons, is the reason his box went wrong. It needs updating during night. Bloody stupid. My Freeview lets me know when I need to update. More electricity on, when not needed. Bills going up.

    @pde62 @Bazza315 @AvonandsomerRob "I think charities should have the power to take away people's TV packages on pain of starvation, while the government - instead of them proper support - installs Freeview. Because my brain is mush and assume they don't have this already, but I want to punish the poor further"

  • Tillymint53 Tillymint (@Tillymint53) reported

    @happyborg @RadioTimes Yeh I find that freeview one is okay..just have to get used to a different site. I think that RT think I am on a mobile phone but I am on a HP laptop so swiping etc just doesn't work.

  • stevemelville83 steveratio (@stevemelville83) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in AL1 district of ST Albans and as of 20.30, 15/3/2022 we lost Freeview. We receive our signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter, do you know of any problems?

  • misscepayne Carolyn Payne (@misscepayne) reported

    @CarrieHFletcher Literally dreading the day I have to upgrade the telly! I don’t know how any of it works! And I haven’t even entered the realm of the smart tv yet! We just have freeview! That’s it! Good luck! And sorry for the lack of help x

  • tiggernikki69 Nikki (@tiggernikki69) reported

    @clarketelecom Please can you tell me what you can do about my TV signal? Since you installed a 5G mast almost opposite my house it has disrupted my freeview signal and now I have lost half the channels. I can't even watch ITV!! Please tell me how you wish to rectify this?

  • BeguilingFellow Steven Desmond (@BeguilingFellow) reported

    @Forces_TV Sadly nothing right now, as there's no signal on some Freeview channels (including Forces TV) in CM21 area at the moment :(
