    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.

    Another hotel, another auto tune of the TV to get an up to date Freeview channel list. I should charge for this service.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital What's needed however is to change the technology used and support a better system, such as DVB T2. I don,t see streaming as a threat to freeview or freesat for that matter. As , the title says it's free. Streaming is all paid for. Just ask my neighbours!.

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital for me the communal dish is 90cm and on the roof as part of the Communal Integrated Reception system so exposed to the rain when it really does throw it down and lose sat reception for a short period so I fall back to Freeview option for a bit on that one

  • tapper82 Tapper82 (@tapper82) reported

    @pvfc_carol Hi can you help out pleas. Since the BBC are now broadcasting the PVFC games over Freeview I can no longer injoi the Vale games. I am blind and use my radio to know what's going on when in the ground.

  • B_W_Marshall OldStravonian (@B_W_Marshall) reported

    @andylondon Think it’s Sky. Dunno. They have loads of freeview channels with guff on a loop. Most of it sucks.

  • garyhaywardcom Gary Hayward (@garyhaywardcom) reported

    Can't wait for my new TV roof aerial to arrive. Nothing to do with the #Bilsdale outage; never been able to get all the Freeview channels with my current, ancient one. #BilsdaleFire

  • GarethNegus Gareth Negus (@GarethNegus) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi. Are there any issues with the Mendip transmitter at the moment? Our Freeview reception has been dreadful for several days now.

  • CharlieandNige Nige & Charlie in Cornwall 🏳️‍🌈 (@CharlieandNige) reported

    @FreeviewTV Curious to know in the good old days here in Gorran Haven with analogue TV we might only of had 3/4 channels. Now with Freeview in certain weather conditions we get poor or no signal for days. We can retune and get French channels Can anything be done to resolve it?

  • StevenNT Steven Jones (@StevenNT) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital I'm currently a Sky Q customer as it's what I have at my new build apartment, Freeview and Freesat don't quite fit my uses but for as a basic level it's not too bad and fall back to Freeview when very severe rain hiders reception

  • joejglenton The Great Keithulhu (@joejglenton) reported

    'Serving the colours' chat belongs with guff about the 'Queen's shilling': consigned to **** period drama. Meaningless waffle. If you talked like that in the Mob, you'd be laughed at. The market for that tripe is Walter Mitty civilians with a cockstand for WW2 docs on Freeview.
