    @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.

  • 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. 👍

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @FreeviewAdvice Hu19 2ju seems strange everything went wrong after withernsea was dug up by kcom .tv channels are fine and strong signal upto about 3 or 4 in afternoon & it breaks up and signal strength is weak? A lot of people in withernsea have contacted Freeview & freesat same problem while

  • Prof_Nostalgia Prof Nostalgia (@Prof_Nostalgia) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 It's not fair to blame Freeview. They didn't set fire to the transmitter and they don't own or maintain it. Arquiva are doing their best but they being hampered by legal issues due to the fact that it's in an area of scientific interest. We have to be patient.

  • FripMonster Cbo (@FripMonster) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I am having problems with my freeview box after changing TV. Can you help?

  • LE_Graeme Graeme P (@LE_Graeme) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @valentepencil Here in the central region, during heavy rain most of my Freeview channels occasionally pixalate and lose the signal (though strangely not the BBC channels), yet my sister in the Anglia region only loses the BBC channels...

    @FurnessGirl @BBCNWT @GranadaReports Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. If you can DM us your postcode and house name or number we can look into this further.

  • lucyinldn Lucyinldn (@lucyinldn) reported

    @SamsungUK bad enough I lost access to BBC HD freeview channels when I bought a Samsung TV, but now all BBC channels have gone? Is it a London transmitter issue or part of the continued fall out between Samsung and BBC? @BBCOne

  • Juls35R Juls (@Juls35R) reported

    @ifneedsmust @GBNEWS It only happens to me sometimes when they are having technical issues, but I am watching via Virgin, so not sure about freeview etc

  • russeaside1053 russell (@russeaside1053) reported

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    So I've sent an email to #Freeview over to continuing no signal distribution in Teesside ie none for nearly 3 weeks as I asked for the contact details of the regulatory body to lodge a complaint, I did think of you asked they're obliged to supply it not ask you to email them wait
