    The #5g nonsense is awful. People setting fire to masts serving critical communications is madness. The frequency used in 5g has been redeployed from tv / freeview but still considerably lower power. 5g’s only side effect is faster & lower latency mobile internet #5gconspiracy

    Hadn't realised rural Freeview was still so terrible compared to in metropolitan areas. I get 80 Freeview channels in Dudley nr Birmingham, Dad gets 21 in South Shropshire! And doesn't even get Sky News which I assumed was on Freeview everywhere.

    I swear #skybroadband is down at least every other week... was working fine until now. Wanted to watch something on freeview play but my smart TV runs off WiFi and currently have none. Good luck to my older sister who works remotely/from home with no WiFi shew screwed.

    @ShinraAlpha Has the signal not come back from the mast? Ours is back now, but we had to retune the tele to get freeview on

    @FreeviewAdvice I've got the DM. I've tried for another transmitter but nothing. Guess waiting game or Sky subscription, shame was enjoying Freeview service

    @BigBearF1 F me this is actually bloody brilliant. My Grandad has started to lose it. My mrs went round to fix it the other day & he'd pressed the wrong button so it was trying to find freeview. He then did the same again the following day so called out a tv engineer

    Well, that's one way of clearing the 16 films on my Freeview recorder... After almost 10 years of good service it died today, taking the recorded films with it. Just ordered a replacement (and a new stereo to replace the 22 year old one that keeps skipping when playing CDs)

    @DefundBBC I look at #freeview TV schedule a couple of times a week & rarely find anything I want to watch on any of the channels. But I'm an old ***. My son NEVER bothers with the main TV at all. Tablet, pc or phone is where he & his peers view content. #bbc etc take note.

    @SamsungUK bad enough I lost access to BBC HD freeview channels when I bought a Samsung TV, but now all BBC channels have gone? Is it a London transmitter issue or part of the continued fall out between Samsung and BBC? @BBCOne
