    @Chris_Ince The issue is they can only have 2 streams at any one time as part of their licensing deal. So better to have it on Red Button at all times than fill 2 main channels where other shows would usually be on. % without access to Freeview for red button channel is surely very small?

    @JackPittBrooke Going on to the Super League, would those owners have wanted games on the BBC or another Freeview channel? They might even have considered a Super League version of MOTD too much content not to put on their own streaming service or in a very expensive TV contract

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi, I’m struggling to get a consistent signal when watching BBC One and BBC Two on my Freeview box. I even retuned my box and changed regions and that hasn’t solved the problem. Could you please look into if BBC transmitters are experiencing issues? Thank you.

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • Jonny60009 My Granddad Drove Flying Scotsman (@Jonny60009) reported

    Shoutout to all the Freeview kids who didn’t have channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Jetix growing up.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi there. I know this is not your issue but someone i know wants to get RTE Irish tv in northern ireland but only a couple of channels are coming through. What can she do to pick them all up? Are some Irish channels on UK Freeview also?

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    The Freeview signal is also not helping out with the BBC Olympics coverage right now... over the Discovery+ again...

  • MistyMadam Bev (@MistyMadam) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice All terrestrial freeview channels unavailable. Unacceptable, opening ceremony ruined because here in Sa15 we have no BBC1 signal,

    @SooksThe @GBNEWS Deffo ,👍 we can get it on the main TV through virgin but can't watch on bedroom tv on freeview as signal is from a relay mast. Luckily it's a smart tv so can get YouTube. Great news.
