  • 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.

    @lennylaw When you have 6 live TV channels available to all on Freeview, and you show the same thing on 5 channels, and close down the sixth, that's just bollocks.

  • xAbbierose Abbie Sims 👩🏼‍🦯 (@xAbbierose) reported

    Anyone else unable to get 4seven on freeview? Says service unavailable but is working on freesat 🤔

  • harriet_austin Harriet Austin (@harriet_austin) reported

    @btbusinesscare as a new customer very disappointed with the customer service I have been receiving. Following a 2 weeks wait to receive WiFi and broadband, Freeview channels do not work despite reassurance it would with the WiFi connected. When we called the...1/2

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

    @davidkeatsuk This of course was given as the reason for suspending the former BBC Red Button 301 service on Freeview during the Opening Ceremony of London 2012 - BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC News all showing live or partial coverage.

  • peter_whiteside Peter Whiteside (@peter_whiteside) reported

    @Eliza Football is live on the Red Button. Freeview channel 601. 8pm to 10.15pm. No worries about net signal or time lag.

  • nickthegibbons nick gibbons (@nickthegibbons) reported

    @SimonMcCoyTV Aww feel sorry for you, cos I have 300 plus channels on freeview, so got plenty of choice, and Netflix and amazon prime so not really a problem for me...

  • sadmanontheleft Jack Boag (@sadmanontheleft) reported

    As someone pointed out, Channel 4 didn’t broadcast Diana’s funeral, putting on kids cartoons instead. It’s kinda their job so that people on Freeview can watch something else while the others broadcast the gloomy ****, particularly in a pandemic where you can’t leave the house

  • Aurora_UK_LAH Lisa Hetherington (@Aurora_UK_LAH) reported

    @AlanFisher Hi Alan, have you any idea why Chauvin trial has been removed from Al J UK Freeview news? So angry/disappointed as was following non-stop coverage for 8 days then went off without explanation yest! Feel let down. Thanks for your excellent work incl impeachment trial.

  • LY33KH4 Lyeekha (@LY33KH4) reported

  • herkinderkin John Johnston (@herkinderkin) reported

    @radionzmusic @radionz I can't see any Freeview listings for RNZ National after today. We have rubbish radio reception and terrible internet here, so Freeview is our only option to hear Nashville Babylon. HELP!
