    @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.

    @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%.

  • Scott_Sweeney Scott Sweeney (@Scott_Sweeney) reported

    Moved house yday. Panasonic tv that fully worked before and got all freeview channels. Now in the new place only picks up about 10. Cable is fully in, but screen says weak signal when trying to tune. Any ideas how to fix & get them all?

  • gurncrop gurncrop (@gurncrop) reported

    @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.

  • hitinman Just Davo (@hitinman) reported

    Interesting after 2 days of zero TV reception, as mysteriously as it vanished it is now back. I can guess there was a problem somewhere with an antenna that fed into our valley. #Freeview when it works.

  • Ricky81D Ricky (@Ricky81D) reported

    @Toria8Jones4 As soon as they started charging to see fights I stopped watching all boxing even the free stuff, we pay enough already for a tv licence then sky on top because it’s all just crap repeats on Freeview, I need my history and animal documentaries to stop me going crazy.

  • Monemii_ Monemii (@Monemii_) reported

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

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) 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

  • chrishainstock media:man 🔍🎬 (@chrishainstock) reported

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

  • bean0509 Justine (@bean0509) reported

    @MacLiv Yeah I mainly just wanted Sky broadband but even that I’m going to cancel. Freeview channels are good aren’t they! As long as we get CBeebies then we’re happy xxxx
