    @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.

    @johubris @jarrod__baker Ok I feel like a bit of an idiot, but it transpires the Freeview app is actually working on our tv now. I thought it’d been canned but I seem to have live tv.

    @DanielFooksArt Twitter's a bit like flicking through Freeview channels. Most of it is crap, some of it is harmful but occasionally it's educational or even uplifting. It's also the top venue to make a **** of yourself after 1 too many shandies.

  • Monemii_ Monemii (@Monemii_) reported

    @ITVXhelp @ITVX Why? Why is it not available to every tv and Freeview service?

  • Golfstee Steve (@Golfstee) reported

    @MarylouiseDarl3 Do you use a Freeview TV or box? And do you use any other TVs or boxes in your house? Do they have the same problem? Fraser

  • LRichmond78 Lisa Richmond (@LRichmond78) reported

    Just checked my freeview recorder as the tv tonight looks rubbish. My options appear to be - cheesy early 00s teen drama - bits of wrestling - murders, murders, serial killers, true crime and murder. I may have a problem.

    who knew, that there is help available if mobile masts are interfering with your Freeview Signal!? Just had a great chat with the people from Restore TV. Filters are available free of charge to help with interference. @RestoreTVHelp @FreeviewTV @FreeviewAdvice

    @AboutEG Might be worth following @DowndetectorUK. You will get alerts for things you don't care about, but it was a great early warning for today's Twitter problems, and that recent Freeview outage - answers the "is it just me?" question.
