  • 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.

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

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

  • 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 !!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

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

  • DavidSwindells1 David Swindells (@DavidSwindells1) reported from Macclesfield, England

    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

    @ITSBIGTONE @FreeviewTV Thanks for the reply Tony. Freeview have been in touch to help me resolve the problem. So🤞.

  • JonnyMeddy Jonny Meddy (@JonnyMeddy) reported

    @FreeviewTV Hi, I wonder if someone could help - I live in the L1 postcode and there was a big power cut in our area that lasted a few hours on Thursday night. We haven't been able to get any Freeview channels since then/BBC, ITV etc. Could someone advise please? Ta.

  • gordonhudsonnu Gordon Hudson (@gordonhudsonnu) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Tonight and tomorrow's warning of freezing fog across parts of England a reminder that in some areas, those weather conditions could cause terrestrial (Freeview) TV and FM/DAB radio interference. Do not adjust your set, or retune if your signal glitches this weekend!

  • DJGaryBaldy DJGaryBaldy (@DJGaryBaldy) reported

    @Petwill1 It really is time Gold And Alibi were made Freeview channels I can't afford Sky or Virgin TV. I refuse to sign up to a streaming service. Most of the stuff on Gold has been played to death.

    @Deadspin What network is Whitlock on now? That old POS is probably on Freeview or some ****. No one listens to the dude too stupid for fox sports.
