    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • AdventuresVw VW Adventures (@AdventuresVw) reported

    @mycampervan We use a @roku streaming device for TV but when WiFi signal isn't good, the aerial always gets a good Freeview signal.

  • PCarmichaelVO Paul Carmichael (@PCarmichaelVO) reported

    @indytime67 @CarolineLucas @NadineDorries Which charity are you going to give to that has a disability programmes unit or supplies educational resources to every school & college in the UK or maintains the Freeview transmitters to ensure the poorest in society have a basic TV service?

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @scott_gamer @verystickybunny @UKTV I guess you never know what broadcasters will choose to do next. PlayUK could have been a successful competitor to The Hits and TMF on Freeview if it hadn't closed for UK History.

  • Carti_Mandua LadyAnniSpice... #IStandWithUkraine# (@Carti_Mandua) reported

    @EdwardoYazzie we only watch this sort of programme on Freeview ... "yesterday". PBS America and Smithsonian channels etc...usually lots of repeats .... never watch BBC !! xx

  • b33rbash_twitch b33rbash (e-beggar arc) (@b33rbash_twitch) reported

    @aliiscrying @JohnJohnNYC_ You can have a TV and not buy a TV license you just won't get BBC or other freeview channels, you can still get digital cable or other pay services from **** like Sky

  • simonwhittaker1 Simon Whittaker (@simonwhittaker1) reported

    @danbloom1 @jed_mercurio Cancel Netflix, prime, Disney, sky/virgin tv, change phone contract to sim only, have freeview, shop at Aldi, no takeaways or eating out, don’t smoke or vape, don’t drink, cut down on other excess spend….just a few tips to help there.

  • LwtEmmaBird Sarah Harbour (@LwtEmmaBird) reported

    Hi @JenBartram 1031mBar is high pressure, is it not? Just been told that my Freeview signal can't be being affected by high pressure because they've not had any high pressure warnings... 🤯
