    @LuckyCedarlane @BBCAMERICA @ITV @itv2 @Channel4 @channel5_tv C5 is awful. All this is freeview too!

  • JasonDragon1975 Jason Ratcliffe (@JasonDragon1975) reported from Chesterfield, England

    @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%.

    @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.

    @FreeviewAdvice freeview has been bad all day. Only 28 channels found on retune. Distorted/broken up picture. Is there a signal/transmitter problem in the Newmarket, Suffolk area? It’s really annoying!

  • cliquetrack Stirling Silliphant (@cliquetrack) reported

    Lockdown has meant that I’m regularly watching BBC / ITV for the first time in 15 years. Not as bad as I’d feared, though itv overdoes the game shows a bit. The tv is the only company I have during the day. Freeview is really useful.

  • nglwaug nigel waugh💙 (@nglwaug) reported

    @bt_uk Having problems with BBC channels on my BT Freeview. Tried retuning today and have now lost all bbc channels except HD. It seems virtually impossible to contact BT to ask for help, so I thought I would try this way!
