  • 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%.

    @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.

    Oh sweet jesus @StuartYoung001 im watching a 1976 film #squirm on one of your channels @TalkingPicsTV on freeview 82 . So an electrical storm is going to hit and earth worms are going to attack a town ..... apparently. All a bit weird but i watch it with wine help

  • gardeninguy Guy Cook (@gardeninguy) reported

    Pops has his TV back, and me turning Router off @ night, safety reasons, is the reason his box went wrong. It needs updating during night. Bloody stupid. My Freeview lets me know when I need to update. More electricity on, when not needed. Bills going up.

  • PhilJBowers Phil Bowers (@PhilJBowers) reported

    @horror_channel Hi, I've just bought a freesat box and trying to access Horror Bites, but when I go to channel 138 I only get the existing Freeview channel, how can I access the in demand service on Freesat?

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr I find this practice annoying mostly because if they don't flag each episode with "New..." the series link doesn't work, at least on Freeview anyway. Plus it highlights just how many 'encore presentations' are on even the main channels now.

  • SnapeHugh hugbilly (@SnapeHugh) reported

    @RadioTimes Thanks for the reply and I understand the intention. What is slightly more annoying is that the site no longer allows one to set a default service provider (i.e. Sky or Freesat.) I use Freeview and it used to be that once I'd selected that service as the provider the: contd . . .

  • mrneilmorrow Neil Morrow (@mrneilmorrow) reported

    @JohnSimpsonNews I think there's a difference between it being available on the Internet and on Freeview. German radio broadcasts could presumably be heard on a crackling signal in WWII. Not on HD on a 50 inch screen in my living room. Or do you see them as essentially the same?

  • SonnerSounds WhatNow (@SonnerSounds) reported

    The @RadioTimes website used to be great, now it's terrible. Used to be able to hover over a programme and get a summary, now have to click through. Doesn't remember if you are Freeview or whatever.

  • PeterNimmo1 Peter Nimmo (@PeterNimmo1) reported

    @StewartMcDonald @Ofcom I had assumed that RT’s disappearance from Freeview was down to UK actions (Ofcom). Turns out it was the EU!

  • DarkNightMoofie ✌🏻Gary/Gawy✌🏻 (@DarkNightMoofie) reported

    @Forces_TV are there any plans to bring your channel to the non HD service of Freeview?

  • tiggernikki69 Nikki (@tiggernikki69) reported

    @clarketelecom Please can you tell me what you can do about my TV signal? Since you installed a 5G mast almost opposite my house it has disrupted my freeview signal and now I have lost half the channels. I can't even watch ITV!! Please tell me how you wish to rectify this?
