    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

    @Juju72028287 @FreeviewTV Hi, I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. High pressure has been present for a few days and hopefully will move on soon. If you have retuned, you will have to retune again once the weather changes. Thank you, Melissa

  • broncoskolar Pasteur Eyes #UTA 🟥🟨 (@broncoskolar) reported

    Hey #FreeviewTV signal poor in Poplar. Freeview unwatchable on aerial.

  • HamlettGordon Gordon Hamlett (@HamlettGordon) reported

    @aboveeg By ghosting you mean that shadowy effect there used to be on the old analogue signals years ago? Digital signal seems different ... just breaks up / buffers/ whatever they call it. Its so bad this evening have nothing watchable. We're not on Sky, just Freeview: nothing working.

  • JacquieSamateh KS (@JacquieSamateh) reported from Coventry, England

    @FreeviewAdvice My Freeview channels were broken up so I tried to retune, and only South TV channels came up & only BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and the children's BBC channels. So I tried retuning again and I can find not ONE single channel. Please help me. Thanks

  • MatthewHarrold Matthew Harrold (@MatthewHarrold) reported

    @JamieLaundon This one is a pirate yeah, but given the strength it's probably in London somewhere. There's been some interesting propagation for the last week, European radio stations popping up and lots of complaints about Freeview not working.

  • scott_eff Scott Macdonald 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸🇨🇺 (@scott_eff) reported

    @jodimullen I suppose it would be a frankly huge pain in the *** to replace all those ordinary Freeview boxes/in-builds to re-standardise new codecs and data delivery to increase resolution/quality. MPEG-2 really is showing its age on some of these data-starved channels.
