    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @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.

    @arjoll @paulbrislen Too much distance and crap in the way, LoS is really bad due to terrain and trees. Can't even get Freeview HD - have to use the crap satellite version lol. Literally in my IT nightmare hellscape geographically. Gaming on ADSL2+ is painful, gaming + streaming = nogo.

  • Eesy20 George Peel ☘️ 🖐️ #P&J Project. (@Eesy20) reported

    @DemonswithR @DavidPoulden No, it is not 'frankly ludicrous'. The BBC(Freeview TV) is the same principle as the NHS. Everyone pays - rich and poor - everyone gets access to the broadcast media. If you want extra channels, you pay for those yourself. Just like healthcare.

  • AgentSchmith Agent Smith (@AgentSchmith) reported

    @jasonpwalk @Talesofanalfa I would expect you'll need a freesat decoder / set top box at each TV to interpret the signal. It's slightly different from FreeView which the TV may well have a built in digital tuner for, but will expect a tuning signal from on the RF port.

  • Mlabus5 Malabus (@Mlabus5) reported

    @Rob_McPhee_UK @FreeviewTV Drama; Drama +1, Horror and ITV3 are the main problematic channels. Maybe a relay transmitter problem, but nothing is indicating that on the Freeview website. I've changed the amplifier and still having issues. Thanks for replying.

  • adiamondgeezer Diamond Geezer (@adiamondgeezer) reported

    @freesat_tv No, sorry. It's freeview. I appreciate your offer of support though nevertheless.

  • DSkippings Darren Skippings (@DSkippings) reported

    @redflag3rd @BebsDotter @tomhfh I can honestly say I have never once watched it, I deleted it as soon as it was put on freeview, so I didn't see it by accident.

  • JohnnyDownes ❌Johnny Downes #FJB GETTR same handle (@JohnnyDownes) reported

    The Criminal (1960. Director: Joseph Losey. Stars Stanley Baker, Sam Wanamaker, Patrick Magee). Showing tonight on #TPTV Freeview Channel 81. Great film. Look out for Colour Sgt Bourne as a bad guy.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @BuddyGB Will watch that on IPlayer. Technical issues with Bilsdale mast means signal is not strong enough for my Freeview PVR to use its two tuners to record more than one programme at a time. Frustrating.

  • Jack_Nelligan Jack Nelligan 🇮🇪 🎅🏻🎄 (@Jack_Nelligan) reported

    Film 4, channel 4 E4 and More4 as well as the plus 1 channels are not showing any program information on the Freeview box. Will this problem be fixed?.
