    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.

    Anyone having #Freeview issues?

  • MrRandomGuy93 That Random Guy (@MrRandomGuy93) reported

    @abline11 @ImVaradi @davywright65 No, I don't need to, I have a garage for that. Whilst I don't want to sound rude, your generation make me laugh when they try and act like they're so much more intelligent but don't even know how to tune in a digital TV to get freeview.

    @bigkite @Prof_Nostalgia @FreeviewAdvice Have you phoned the Freeview Helpline to ask further information? If you don't have internet access to check signal transmissions online your best route is to phone 03456 50 50 50. Mon - Fri, 9am to 5pm. Sadly now the soonest you can call is Monday.

    @pandorasrockbox Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Anyone with a satellite receiver, including Sky/Freesat (if you know how to manually tune it) can access these broadcasts. Your receiver will need to support HbbTV 2.0 to see the accessible Freeview guide. @cleanfeed_ttvr @tvlive

  • ItsPreeceyHere Leigh Preece (@ItsPreeceyHere) reported

    @tideswellman @BTCare I had Youview for about six months. Ditched it and never looked back. Used Freesat and Freeview since + Firestick for catchup services. All free and fine.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    Hmmm...Boom Radio is struggling again today 😟but it could still be Bilsdale transmitter related issues. I looked at Freeview TV for the first time since the fire last night. Did a scan. Nothing!

  • cypressbill1980 Robert (@cypressbill1980) reported

    @alibi_channel Damn. Subscription only. Why not on freeview!

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @GThomasboro Freeview is responsible for customer facing comms rather than Arqiva, but they'll be restricted to certain "lines to take" and that will have been approved, so it won't be as rough and ready as what you get on this Twitter feed! But for times like this, it's impossible to provide
