    @FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

  • chris_sucksmith Chris (@chris_sucksmith) reported from East Cowes, England

    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.

  • ukheather Heather (@ukheather) reported

    @DailyMail I read this & it pisses me off what criminals get in UK prisons. Beauty salon, barista training, cells with TV, Freeview, DVD player, library they can order films & books from. Oh & she is PAID A WAGE. ******* disgusting. Prisons here aren't that bad, no wonder so much crime!

  • alison1010 Alison (@alison1010) reported

    @kathrynhall_ Nope . Never watched it . We only have Freeview channels 😮

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @snoddy114 @Freeview I'm having the same issue with the HD channels on Freeview on my TV. I called them also and they said that there is engineering work. Can't watch BBC one and two HD keeps losing signal and it's Wimbledon 😭.

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @snoddy114 @LauraJade877 @Freeview I don't know if anyone else is complaining. It's not been mentioned much anywhere in the news as much. Surely other Freeview viewers must be experiencing the same issue.

  • Andy__156 Andy S (@Andy__156) reported

    Also, every time there is a rescan demanded by Freeview, there’s always a problem with the signal & reception causing the aerial to be moved. Terrible service!!!!! @Ofcom sort this s**t out!!!

  • w15645 Warthog (@w15645) reported

    @DiscussingFilm It’s looks awful. Naturally he had to be married to a black woman and the show host has to be black. Tick those boxes paramount. I’ll watch in 5 years when it’s on Freeview channel 36 or some ****

  • ljmmuk Lindy Coo (@ljmmuk) reported

    @VC2243 @Old_SchoolEddie Born 1945, operated a computer when I was 21, I don't lap up anything but rock n roll, watch freeview, hate the far right, & passionately support #garyseconomics Don't tar us all with the same brush!!

  • LauraJade877 Laura (@LauraJade877) reported

    @ShoyebJeeva @snoddy114 @Freeview I’m also having the same issue

  • TheWelshGammon Rhys (@TheWelshGammon) reported

    @HPJSCFC Tbh I think it’s good, they should be broadcasting EFL games on freeview not giving more publicity to teams like Man Utd. Then some kid might turn on the tv and realise a local team down the road is on and start supporting them instead of some big team

  • ShoyebJeeva Shoyeb Jeeva (@ShoyebJeeva) reported

    @bigwows Well it's the same issue two years on with Freeview keeps losing signal
