  • niksibley Nik Sibley (@niksibley) reported from Coventry, England

    Any ideas why MiL’s @HisenseUK @Roku TV sometimes puts itself onto the Freeview Play page whilst watching her Sky Q box? Even did it to me as I was navigation TV settings. Maybe TV or remote control issues? Hopefully unplugging/replugging will simply be enough to fix it…

  • rozzietheaussie rozzietheaussie (@rozzietheaussie) reported from Royal Leamington Spa, England

    Dear @Channel4 please can you add live streaming to your 4OD service. My Freeview signal is shocking and I'm missing Bake off and this is very distressing

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

    @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

    You don’t realise how awful freeview is until your waiting for the sky man to come to your house 🥴

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • old_bob52 Kevin Bull (@old_bob52) reported from Coventry, England

    @LewisHamilton @SilverstoneExp That may be the case Lewis. If you really want to inspire the next generation. F1 needs to be on Freeview. It willl never happen though.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    The Freeview signal is also not helping out with the BBC Olympics coverage right now... over the Discovery+ again...

  • blades4ever michelle gilbey x (@blades4ever) reported

    @bt_uk The issue is the internet, but also means I can’t watch tv only freeview channels

  • baggottsilver michael baggott (@baggottsilver) reported

    @BromleyCrossBoy I’m afraid I’m in the stone age with Freeview (absolutely not a fan of the paid services, the horrid Murdochcracy or Branston Pickled)

  • jayaumes Jay Aumes (@jayaumes) reported

    @NickBuckleyMBE @DefundBBC Totally agree. I've been saying this for years. Unlike other people who suggest turning it into a subscription service, I say just force them to show commercials instead like all the other channels on Freeview.

  • Survivingin2020 Surviving2021 (@Survivingin2020) reported

    Anyone wanting the hockey its on sky channel BBC RB HD 981 or BBC RB on Freeview 601 sd crap picture #BBCOlympics

  • Jonny60009 My Granddad Drove Flying Scotsman (@Jonny60009) reported

    Shoutout to all the Freeview kids who didn’t have channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Jetix growing up.

  • D__2__1 DANIEL (@D__2__1) reported

    Aside, imho the effort here to give them their own show vs. Doing the same for the (much larger) Asian populations implicitly shows whites (+other groups) don't think they are capable without help (contra the scores of Asian channels on freeview).

  • AliceP104 Alice Pennington💙 (@AliceP104) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m struggling to get a consistent signal when watching BBC One and BBC Two on my Freeview box. I even retuned my box and changed regions and that hasn’t solved the problem. Could you please look into if BBC transmitters are experiencing issues? Thank you.

  • HiberniaLife Mary White (@HiberniaLife) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi there. I know this is not your issue but someone i know wants to get RTE Irish tv in northern ireland but only a couple of channels are coming through. What can she do to pick them all up? Are some Irish channels on UK Freeview also?
