    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.

    @CLC_1000 @NOWMusic Because things are never on Freeview, my theory is they are trying to faze it out and trying to get everyone to switch to Sky and Virgin and stuff to get extra money

    @madebygoogle does your Google TV support Freeview app in UK. The web seems to suggest yes but I can't find the app

    @whophd @meadea @domknight From what I've read, onDigital/ITV Digital was plagued with reception and piracy issues however overbidding for TV rights to a lower division football league was their biggest downfall. Although in a way, the failure of it + the later rise of Freeview was probably a good thing.

    @virginmedia Hi. As part of our broadband/phone package we have the small, internet connected, Freeview box. We have problems with the box. It regularly says that channels are not available despite them ok via app and has to be rebooted several times. Can we get replacement?

    @florestaqueen @RoundLike @danwootton Where was she well-known? Not in the UK, some may have heard of her, but she wasn't 'well-known'. I remember vaguely seeing that a series called 'Suits' was being shown on Freeview, but I never watched it, no-one ever recommended watching it.

    @TonyB2929 Hello Tony, Do you have a screenshot of the issue (or a video) so we can better understand what's going on? What model is your Samsung TV? Are you using Freeview or any other service to watch our content? Thanks!

    Evening tweeps! Got a conundrum - my aerial socket doesn't work and I keep missing the cricket. Freeview app doesn't work on Chromecast and indoor rabbit ears work minimally. What am I supposed to do to get free to air tv? Only option I can think of is stream from phone or lappy
