    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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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. 👍

  • 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.

  • DanniizDesignz Dannii (@DanniizDesignz) reported

    @sianeliza_ Yes the sound is awful. I'm not sure if it is completely ITV or if it is certain companies, as it was only one of us when it happened before, so I'd be interested to know if we are on all the same provider - Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview etc. #ThisMorning

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    @theJeremyVine @thetrainline @AvantiWestCoast No because from August 10th 2021 until January 5th 2022 we had no Freeview signal thanks the Bilsdale transmitter fire so no TV whatsoever for us. Temporary service restored out of 220+ channels we've got 30 channels. So missed every single one of those and we had 1/2

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Mrpaulfox @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life Digital TV only allows the 5 main channels everything else is freeview, most of us rely on WiFi to view American products, because not all of us have a freeview box because we don't wanna pay TV licence of the thieving BBC, which has literally the worst programming on it

  • hrochfor1 Henry Rochford 🇺🇦 (@hrochfor1) reported

    @dhothersall It is currently in talks to have its service broadcast on Sky and Freeview as is the case in Germany and Italy. You have not answered the point about the impact of the BBC being banned to prevent a channel which will be accessible anyway due to existing treaties.

  • _RGArmstrong Richard Armstrong (@_RGArmstrong) reported

    @Ainsworth7Jo @GBNEWS I am an engineer. The conversation usually goes like this:- "So you work in a garage." "No." "Could you do the MoT on my car?" "No. I'm a graduate electronics engineer." "Could you fix my telly? I can't get BBC3 on Freeview."

  • frankensteirer yoo hoo (@frankensteirer) reported

    @MyNottingham @MikeBeardPhoto Can somebody fix area masts to clifton NG11 9H area since the new build started we've had freeview issues now threes showing as complete service loss we always used to be least able to get 3g and 4g it's a major city and cliftons huge massive student population should be full 5g

  • phineascampbell phineas campbell (@phineascampbell) reported

    @cknoblock17 I've never watched it does it still broadcast on freeview?

  • suelin_flower Suelin Flower (@suelin_flower) reported

    How do I watch @amirkingkhan fight if on freeview & don't want to go laddish pub? What time is it too bc I can't do those 3am fights..?? I used to support him on itv but all this #boxing on #paytoview then King Khan KOs him in 1st round it's a waste of time and money 🥴💯👑🥊🤴🏽💙

  • Originsingamer zinorigins (@Originsingamer) reported

    @Potatoe_Waffles @Machobeard4life It's on itv 4 not itv 1, still need to buy a freview box or have a TV with freeview built in, then you have to factor in that not everyone's signal would be perfect on freeview, so they will more likely use fite TV or subscribe to itv hub or britbox, it's not free TV at all

  • terrymccrum Terry McCrum (@terrymccrum) reported

    @SkyUK It is really not good. Switches itself off even when set not to ! The playlist doesn’t always work- you can only watch stuff as agreements are valid & some stuff is immediately unavailable! Many channels missing which are on satellite. Rewind / ffwd poor. No real Freeview etc
