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

  • 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.

    @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…

  • 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.

    @danowen79 @LukeCustardtv NOW sent me a questionnaire about this a little while ago. Sounds like a great TV. I especially like the built-in soundbar. But as a pay-lite customer, I wouldn't pay for full Sky. And no Freeview tuner rules me out.

  • Terrywhittingh8 Terrywhittingham (@Terrywhittingh8) reported

    @FreeviewTV The Yesterday channel has disappeared from my TV. To start with the message said "no signal". When I retuned, it said " invalid channel". I've done a Freeview check using my postcode, but that said no outages in my area. Any hints on how to get Yesterday back.

    @officalITV It appears that your channels are down on Freeview. Still can view them via ITV Hub, however surprised you have not put some statement out on this outage, given the number of complaints being made.

  • Stuarsenal75 Rusty Gallante (@Stuarsenal75) reported

    @itv Freeview channels not working in RG21?

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @LucyTurner_x @skytv Yes, £10 per month no matter how many pucks you have. The £50 per box charge is steep though. If broadband goes down, you can’t access any content as it doesn’t have a hard drive so you won’t even have recordings to watch. Only way around that is to have an aerial for Freeview

  • drebee88 Dre ® (@drebee88) reported

    Anyone else's free view just now showing signal. Or is it just mine. #freeview

  • IronMask75 IronMask75 (@IronMask75) reported

    @FreeviewAU Can you please stop the #Freeview info banner from popping up by itself every 5 minutes on my Sony Bravia X95G? Problem started this week after an update and it's starting to annoy me.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    @brianwinteruk @GoffyMedia @BBCTees It is on mine. Well...not Freeview at present in my area because the local transmitter burned down.

  • Cloagfarm David Smythe (@Cloagfarm) reported

    @queenchristina_ @AliMirajUK @jonathansamuels Sky news signal on Freeview non existent tonight.
