@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.

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.

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

@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.

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

@CountMoriarty @anon_opin A massive problem is also the decision to put BBC Three online-only. It was a hotbed of innovatio, and they took it away from young adults with a freeview box.

@AnnReynold73527 @FreeviewTV Freeview TV guide reception in East Yorkshire around early November 2025. The Belmont transmitter, which serves much of the region including Hull and surrounding areas, had planned engineering works during the week starting October 27, 2025. This could lead to signal disruptions.

Anyone else notice how bad the picture quality of U&Drama @dramachannel is on Freeview? Doesn't even look like SD resolution.

@FreeviewTV Why are we having problems Recording Freeview channels, particularly Channel 10 ( ITV3) in the evenings? Generally ok during the day? Belmont transmitter? Does this need a time/ date adjustment at your end? Says No Signal for failed recordings but signal is there!!

Freeview 231 BBC news is reporting multiple stabbing on train in Cambridgeshire. I get that it's breaking news but is it absolutely necessary to bang on repeating the same **** over and over again for more than half an hour.

Live sport is just about keeping Foxtel afloat, although you do have to wonder what would happen if the FTA networks finally decided to work together and build a "Freeview Sports" service which could potentially offset costs for some of those ever-increasing sports rights deals!

@msapsfordmusic What I don’t like is that you record a movie that’s on regular tv then you go to watch it a few days later & it sky store only plus there’s loads of Freeview that’s on sky q but not on glass. We’ve only had problems with the remote tbh I know others have had glitches on screen
