    @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%.

  • StuN_UK StuN UK (@StuN_UK) reported from Sheffield, England

    @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 I am currently without @SkyHelpTeam as it down to my block management to deal with, so I’m trying to watch freeview via my tv but it is not picking up BBC or ITV, can you suggest what else I can do

  • thhamilton Tom Hamilton (@thhamilton) reported

    @GidonFreeman @MattRogerson The issue is the aerial (irrelevant for streamed programming) not the presence or absence of a freeview box.

  • espanswick Ellie (@espanswick) reported

    @lottyburns We have Freesat as the signal for terrestrial Freeview at our house has never worked so need the dish but we don’t have and subscription TV so apart from initially paying for the Freesat Recorder box it costs nothing.

  • rachelgmarks Sir Rachel Marks 🦟(imagine it's blue) (@rachelgmarks) reported

    @joeb_EY Analog TV has, I think, now been switched off everywhere, so you'll need to access Freeview. Check with your neighbours whether they get a Freeview signal - mountains can be pesky (bad enough where I am with gentle hills!). I solved it by getting a Roku Express to convert...

  • DaveP2611 AbandonedTrolley (@DaveP2611) reported

    @Lottesometimes Yep I'm streaming my games to my phone from my home network. I have a freeview tuner hooked up to my network, so can watch normal channels live anywhere I want when out and about.

  • StevenEJohnso Steve J (@StevenEJohnso) reported

    @CallumBruceSNP At least they are not down to watching Freeview , that would be the end .
