    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • mark_simpson Mark Simpson 🏳️‍🌈 (@mark_simpson) reported

    @keithbelfast @rte It never has been before and they stream it internationally so I think you'll be ok. Stream sometimes struggles so Sky/Freeview would be best...

    @Stoby_200 Glad to hear it's sorted. If you need Freeview support in the future, let us know.

  • _MrRLC Richard Cox (@_MrRLC) reported

    @FreeviewTV Is there a problem with the BBC channels on Freeview? We lost them mid afternoon (Weak or No Signal) and when we returned the TV, we lost them altogether. We have all of the other channels.
