    @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%.

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

  • 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.

    Really disappointed in Freeview just spent 45 minutes tuning the box to find that it’s broken! When I click on the BBC section I’m greeted with old people baking not young strapping black men with large dongs like on my iPad #BBC

    @gnomeicide IIRC there is one big service not on Roku but I forget which. And you meant Freeview not Freeserve a few posts ago. Freeserve was bought and merged repeatedly and ended up with EE.

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @AndrewGrill @skytv Only a game-changer if you never plan to cancel Sky. Freeview not included outside the PSBs, no aerial socket for DTT and forever locked into a Sky OS... great fun if you choose to cancel Sky TV. No third-party services/apps other than what Sky say you can have. No thanks.

  • jonslinn Jon Slinn ♟ (@jonslinn) reported

    Is freeview down? @FreeviewTV

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @anditsinthere_7 @TheEverydayMan_ @SkyUK You're left with a 48-month credit agreement for a TV tied to the Sky OS. You don't even get all Freeview channels or an aerial socket on the back. No satellite tuner so unless you LIVE for Sky and plan to NEVER cancel, it'd be a huge waste of money.

    @DrRhys @grim_fandango @russty_russ I don't think I ever saw the Teletext Ltd MHEG5 service as starting it hard crashed our freeview box.

  • carew_deborah Deborah Carew (@carew_deborah) reported

    Hmm, mobile network, WiFi and freeview all playing up today!! Not sure if this tweet will post. 👀 Anybody else experiencing tech issues?

  • GarySyms Gary #NHSPay15 💙🌍🌈💖 (@GarySyms) reported

    @skindeep1956 @TheNorthernEcho Absolutely agree with you, I've phoned Freeview, TV Licence, even Arqiva, & just constantly getting fobbed off by people who don't have a clue. 8 weeks now with no TV services at all! Bilsdale mast fire caused by overloading a 52 year old transmitter & poor maintenance!

  • gempinkheart Captain Sandy (@gempinkheart) reported

    @digitalspy No problems on Freeview

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    /2 uniquely in the UK, the East Mids transmitter at Waltham is being fed with the (broken) online streams. This first occured last week. All other Freeview transmitters have different source feeds that are not affected.
