  • 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.

    @a516digital He then changed it to vertical. Came back down, said that's £240 payable to freeview, he would be back in the morning as there were other jobs.

  • Peter90433306 Peter (@Peter90433306) reported

    Got up this morning switched on sky news as usual, as usual no new news, checked Google no new news, just reporters trawling any old breaking news to carry on a story to justify their jobs, nothing to watch, Freeview nothing to watch only people's opinions, we pay for this crap.

  • CharlieandNige Nige & Charlie in Cornwall 🏳️‍🌈 (@CharlieandNige) reported

    @FreeviewTV Curious to know in the good old days here in Gorran Haven with analogue TV we might only of had 3/4 channels. Now with Freeview in certain weather conditions we get poor or no signal for days. We can retune and get French channels Can anything be done to resolve it?

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

    @belperite Hi. Good question. The satellite feed is broadcast in DVB-S. It has to be converted into a DVB-T multiplex using a modulator so that Freeview devices can receive it. The solution for ITV/C4 and C5 means they can use a similar system to that used in hotels and ships, no encoder.

  • GarethNegus Gareth Negus (@GarethNegus) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi. Are there any issues with the Mendip transmitter at the moment? Our Freeview reception has been dreadful for several days now.

  • JamesHotham Agent H (@JamesHotham) reported

    @shen_shiwei @SameeraKhan I've never seen it on Freeview, even a look now, not there. I see RT, AL Jazeera, Sky, BBC etc, even GBNews. (PressTV long gone) any idea what channel it "should" be on? Also, could it be restricted by regions/signal etc.

  • mauricedaman Maurice Affleck 😎 (@mauricedaman) reported

    @ellapeaches1984 Just moved into a new house, no internet connection, so only have freeview. Does anyone realise just how bad it is?

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital It's like the guy, "harry hill" who came to my house sent by freeview, I never asked for him, just turned up. Here to fix your TV mate,
