    @bowlestrek Get your facts straight. Johnson is not in favour of ditching the license fee, as he knows it’s a massive vote loser. Plus they’ve now realised, they can’t go to subscription fee system, as the freeview boxes that the majority of UK households use, don’t support it.

    Anyone else in Sheffield having Freeview problems the past day or so?

    @Alexand85266011 @femme_uk @GBNEWS Freeview isn't very reliable for me either. I'm only 10 miles [as the crow flies] from the South Yorkshire Transmitter, yet I can only receive 6 of the 15 HD channels available. BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and CBBC. The signal quality/strength is on average 80%.

    @liampdwyer Thanks for getting back to us, Liam. This service can be accessed on freeview on channel 236, or if you're watching on the app. If it's hardly working, it'll be best to reset your TV box, and possibly your broadband.

  • OooAuto Gita Renik (@OooAuto) reported

    @itvcorrie disappointed that I'll never be able to catch up at the weekend... OAP with freeview not considered worthy 🥴

  • FreddySky Freddy C. 🌈 🇮🇹🇪🇸🇵🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇰🇫🇷 (@FreddySky) reported

    @jpxan71 @MasterChefUK Food network, on Sky it’s on 140, on freeview is channel 43.

  • BensOnlineMusic BenArmstrongsOnlineMusic (@BensOnlineMusic) reported

    @jcalvarez2 @freesat_tv My parents invested in a 2TB freeview box. Not only was they dky q LNB not compatible and required a replacement at £100, but the box was incredibly slow and kept freezing. They just use apps on their smart tv now

  • CraigMason Craig Mason (@CraigMason) reported

    I love all the drama from people complaining about the emergency alerts... "I DIDN'T CONSENT!". It's a broadcast. The gvt doesn't have access to your phone via emergency alerts. It's as intrusive as the BBC Freeview signal. Keep the alerts on. They could save your life.

    @snailmancer Hi, there. Sorry to hear that you're having problems receiving Freeview but if you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check predicted coverage in the area and advise from there. Fraser

    Come on Freeview, sort out the signal in Hastings!!! @freeview

  • VicSponge Vic... (@VicSponge) reported

    @Adam373032869 I like it sometimes but the picture quality on freeview is very poor for some reason, almost like its underpowered.

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @DCMS A all data Freeview Play is feasible until you notice the signal can go out on a bad placed Ariel but unlike the RF signal version you can't find out the correct way to align the Ariel because you just get no signal no squires of broken channel feed just a disconnect.
