    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

    @MaggieMossop Hi Maggie, Thanks for your inquiry today! Unfortunately, we at Freeview do not decide what is shown on the channels therefore, a choice like this would be down to a broadcaster to make. Thanks again, Dev.

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

    @a516digital After freeview sent harry hill round to sort out my reception issue, I'm not going into again, I spent best part of £250 on an aerial to try and get proper local reception which doesnt work.

  • bbchw BBC H and W (@bbchw) reported

    Due to a transmitter fault, we are currently off on FM in the Herefordshire area. You can still listen on DAB, online or via Freeview. Engineers are working on resuming service.

    @GBNEWS @Nanaakua1 Excellent. I nipped over to Freeview 236 yesterday & sure enough, I had to re-tune the telly! Once I'd done that I could see the GB News test signal screen ready & waiting. 👍

    @FreeviewAdvice My freeview reception has been playing up last night and this morning. It seems to be okay now but yeah its been a bit up and down in Milton Keynes.

  • AnkerSchiff Anker Schiff (@AnkerSchiff) reported

    @TogetherukTV All, also Big Dreams Small Spaces with Monty Don. Are you still showing it? Also please fix info on Freeview, I try to watch or record your programs, and it's not shown correctly especially at night. Is there a catch up or online way to watch?

  • Survivingin2020 Surviving2021 (@Survivingin2020) reported

    @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.
