    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…

  • 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…

    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.

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • JacquieSamateh KS (@JacquieSamateh) reported from Coventry, England

    @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

    @TheWalkindude77 @maesy5 It’s bad enough my interstate membership no longer gives me access to non-freeview matches … Dees rarely play in NSW so if I want to attend a game I have to PLAN!

    @ToniBeeson2 @johnburtons Hello Toni regarding recording father brown I am with sky so I can record and record and save them up to watch but if I decided to cancel and use the box as a Freeview box you can't record on them you can only watch TV programmes unless you have got a dvd recorder set up 2 record

    Ahead of BBC Four HD and CBeebies HD moving Freeview multiplexes later this month. Two new Service IDs - 18046 for BBC Four HD and 18176 for CBeebies HD have popped up on mux PSB3/BBC-B. Freeview users will soon be invited to retune their TV and/or boxes, likely 3rd week of June.

  • UTTRob Rob (@UTTRob) reported

    It's great that AEW is on a freeview chanel and like it or loath it AEW tries to provide fan service to the hardcore audience. But in terms of introducing new fans to wrestling in the UK I can only imagine that it's niche product has a minimal impact.

    @Stroudgreenguy If you are using Freeview it’s going to be a poor signal from your Ariel

  • BradTRC BradTRC (@BradTRC) reported

    @Mark56623345 @a516digital Last time I used Freeview religiously was in 2015 - as we used it alongside Sky due to bad weather. Now due to upgrades in Sky’s technology, particularly Q, there is no point for me. The only time I would use Freeview is if my Mini boxes went down, and that fixes itself quickly!

    @BradTRC @a516digital Same here Brad, I can,t get the signals from freeview properly at my location any way, it's just finding out that parts of this are closing. I've had sky mini box and Q for over 2 years now with no problem what's so ever.
