  • 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.

    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

  • 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 !!!

  • 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. 👍

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @TheAzzo We are suckers for Sky/Virgin, and our telly has all the apps and services etc etc. Can't remember that last time I used freeview telly 😬 Our Internet is also RIDIC so we have no streaming issues at all.

  • Andrew_Willcox Andy (@Andrew_Willcox) reported

    @Richardt1850 @VodkaSrups We realised we watched one channel that wasn’t on freeview…we now pay for every streaming service there is and don’t even get close to the same price.

  • JehnnyDangerou1 Jehnny Dangerously (@JehnnyDangerou1) reported

    Has anyone else seen what’s on so called Freeview this weekend FFS??😱 ENDLESS REPEATS of the same **** they show EVERY ******* WEEKEND. We’re PAYING these ***** £13.25p a month & they persistently insult us with LOTR,Shrek,Bridget Jones,etc, etc,etc….😱😡🤨

  • GTFCScoreboard GTFCScoreboard (@GTFCScoreboard) reported

    @staffordgary @TheVanaramaNL Doubt much will change. Hull predominately on FM since commentary back (and rightly given status and support base) and DAB and freeview for us two. And online for backup.

    @skytv @TalkTV Why is the picture and sound glitchy on TalkTv. The picture quality is great but it's just not playing correctly. Note... Rest of my channels are fine even CNN which in bad weather disappears 1st. Also freeview is working fine... Thank you.

  • peteh678 Pete PeteH678 on GETTR (@peteh678) reported

    For anyone looking for an emergency alternative to @GBNEWS because Bengy Butterboy just came on, Nothing to declare is on freeview channel 36👍 #yourewelcome

  • sussexterrier Kevin Beaumont (@sussexterrier) reported

    Tried to watch "Putin - the road to War" on PBS America and PBS America + 1 - 84/87 on freeview. Unwatchable owing to "interference". Never any problems with this channel previously. I wonder....

  • eldavldn Eli Davies (@eldavldn) reported

    People who have freeview in Belfast: is the signal universally terrible or is it just my particular aerial?

    @chomper_TC @CodsyBear We do struggle to find stuff on Netflix these days - even alot of their « new » shows have already been on Freeview. Trouble with Amazon is there is alot of stuff without subtitles and we need those much of the time 🙄
