    Hmm, loads of my freeview channels are nothing but fuzzy static but the HD versions are fine. Anyone else got that problem?

  • bobthe_dolphin 🐬 Bobs ar oglēm darbināms delfīns 🐬 (@bobthe_dolphin) reported

    @dontdoit61 Try an OS update. If you're streaming try 2.4 rather than 5ghz WiFi stream. Also if it's Freeview try attenuating the Ariel signal...

  • MikeBerridge Mike Berridge,🐟 #FBPPR , #FBNH 🏳️‍🌈 (@MikeBerridge) reported

    @glasound I have SKY broadband, no problems, don't have SKY TV just Freeview on a Smart TV

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    @AmazonFreevee if you're going to play the same commercial over and over can you pick something without the annoying music i.e. oldspice wavy, vacuumed commercial and your Freeview ad with all the horns. It's bad when you have to hear it all day thanks.

  • Fishy2007 Douglas Sinclair (@Fishy2007) reported

    @Susiebags It's been a rant of mine for a long time, it's just awful. England playing almost any type of match, live on Freeview TV, Scotland playing almost any match, no chance it'll be on Freeview TV.

    Some Freeview viewers in the HG4 area have reported their channels freezing. Rescanning your TV with your aerial unplugged, then doing so again with the aerial plugged back in may help. For assistance call 0800 121 4828.

    @bread1970 @aewboro123 @Fightful Tbh ain't a bad deal ayozat is available on sky or through their app or website for anyone in the UK for free so availability is about as good as you get without being on freeview and as mentioned if they do well then a Freeview channel could pick them up at a later date.

    @JohnInAdelaide1 @xskinn They are in the UK. I just use streaming and catch up. Never watch freeview. Even with my streaming fees it is cheaper than the licence fee.
