    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.

    Oh not again! Brighton Festival on @bbcsoutheast Yesterday it was Redhill in the Home Counties @BBCLondonNews area. For God's Sake please let's be rid of this so-called "South-East" news service from the Bluebell Hill Freeview mast with its constant references to Brighton.

    Thankfully I have access to the Sky Sports Action and Mix channels but this sucks for people who want to watch it on Freeview. Oh well.

    @BbcBring @russty_russ @journeymaxx You're welcome. The signal is quite random here on the Wirral. Some days S4C will come through very well on Freeview, other days not at all! After the initial switchover viewers across the North West were getting signals from Wales but not the North West!

    @bbcpointswest Why no reports on Freeview transition problems in the region. We would like to know about massive outages in last 24 hours

    @RT_com @MarkSleboda1 I was never able to get RT on Virgin Media in the UK (my Bb supplier). They wouldn't run it, so I refused to get a tv package. I opted for freeview instead. RT is the ONLY tv channel I watch.

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

    @FrancesCook Forcing the culture clash will be entertaining in itself. I think the issue is that tv is a dead dog, and video content providers can focus on just that, producing content. But free www, not freeview
