    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Doranish james (@Doranish) reported

    It’s been suggested that Unite set up a “news and views” TV channel, initially a YouTube channel rather than something which seeks to get a broadcast license for Freeview. This isn’t an inherently bad idea, though it might be too risky for one union to do on its own.

  • Saphirial24 Mystique (@Saphirial24) reported

    @GBNEWS I am having trouble getting GBNews. I dont have sky or any of the other channels so I tried freeview via my phone. However on its home page what's on page GBNews didnt feature and when I searched it came up with no results. I also put on the channel number, still nothing.

  • isleofmandan 🇮🇲Dan (@isleofmandan) reported

    @MaddrellDen @GBNEWS If you're high enough, you can get Freeview from Belfast or from Winter Hill, which gets all the channels. Those of us using on-island transmitters only get a snapshot of a full Freeview service. Still have to pay a full cost licence fee though! 😠

  • spiritodelarue Serpicoserpico (@spiritodelarue) reported

    @nickmorristt @GBNEWS There problem with sonic when attempted to watch on freeview

  • GSpellworthy Gavin J Spellworthy ™️🤍 I/U (@GSpellworthy) reported

    @davidericstan @johnredwood Our Freeview signal is pretty poor for most channels, but GBNews is unwatchable. I now stream it from the app to the tv and have no problem with picture quality or sound... that’s providing you have an iPhone and Apple TV. I don’t know about other devices.

  • den_jw Den Of Scholes 💜🤍💚 (@den_jw) reported

    @eddie19666 McCoy asking people to grow up and stop sending in rude names is going to be the highlight of the channel when it inevitably goes off Freeview and becomes PPV on YouTube

  • Diccus1 Gammon King (@Diccus1) reported

    @mrlkdds @GBNEWS It seems to be a problem on Freeview, but in HD on virgin it’s fine. Very strange.

  • thepostermafia the postermafia (@thepostermafia) reported

    @GBNEWS Sorted the sound out yet? Really bad on #freeview 🤷

  • CllrGareth CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported

    @GBNEWS A few other things… your YouTube doesn’t have a live feed. The IOS app forces horizontal rotation. Freeview is in a pretty poor SD. There’s no smart tv apps. Eg roku/tizen/webos.
