    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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • misskristinruth Kristin Plant (@misskristinruth) reported

    @MammaTort It is a streaming service- I think a £5 a month. Really should be on Freeview but I don't think the new series will be on yet.

  • audio CharIieDiamond (@audio) reported

    Freeview play issues on a new TV.. seems this TV cannot find the channels even with a portable aerial...

  • Colin08302719 Colin (@Colin08302719) reported

    @BBCNews I don't know of its a technical problem but my favourite BBC News program on freeview on ch 101 during the local news seems to have gone? Just faint water 💧 and going. Where are the pictures? A lovely beach? A competition every day for the best?

  • Sophomania_101 Careful, I have Sophomania. (@Sophomania_101) reported

    @mettderk1 @ladbible Yep, if you don't wanna pay for their service use freeview etc, they're private company's you don't have to give them your cash, Why should I pay more because you don't wanna pay at all?

  • tommieharve t harvey (@tommieharve) reported

    @Elemjay1 Oh that's really fantastic - now I feel confident I can go into battle with my 'freeview jesus' sword in hand. He is so ridiculous, I sometimes really want to give him a bit of a hug. And then I think, **** it, let him burn in the toxins he spews, nothing to see here etc etc.

  • mark_simpson Mark Simpson 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@mark_simpson) reported

    I thought Channel 4 HD regions were now A Thing but there are an awful lot of irrelevant adverts on the Ulster region Freeview feed. 🤔

  • tarasis Robert McGovern (@tarasis) reported

    @delilahdirk @jonrog1 I support when I can, and bypass / pirate when there are unknown / ridiculous delays for something to get the the UK for watching / Europe (BUT I will still watch when it does come to Europe so it gets the views - be it Disney, Paramount+, Amazon Freeview, or whoever)

  • stuarthoughton Stuart Houghton but he's actually a dracula (@stuarthoughton) reported

    Just seen Neil Oliver referred to as 'Freeview Jesus' and I may never recover

    @LBC @IainDale @David_Dimbleby So how will the network that provides all the Freeview channels be paid for. The licence is not just for BBC content.
