    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @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

  • 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

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

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    freeview has been largely unwatchable for months since they took off the 5G bands for mobile networks... let alone with atmospheric issue today.. only channel which seems reasonable at the moment is @horror_channel

  • StuartDillon1 Stuart Dillon #COYI (@StuartDillon1) reported

    @jonesy_nb I liked Norway's. I was watching it on Freeview but I've lost the signal so watching it on iplayer as well

  • runilon Runilon (@runilon) reported

    Anyone having problems with broadband & TV from @virginmedia in London? Getting error codes CS3300, CS2004. TV picture starts flickering & either wifi drops or runs very slowly! Freeview is fine. Not getting the service we paid for!

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    cool freeview signal better.. #Eurovision2022

  • David__Brunt David Brunt (@David__Brunt) reported

    @pipmadeley I've got the same problem. On the backup freeview aerial so it's not urgent to fix. Local firm I queried with is callout at £50 to cover for up to an hour. Parts and repair £20 on top. If it's a long job you could be looking at £100+.

  • paulyandnukhas 💁‍♂️Pauly •🐶Nuky | (@paulyandnukhas) reported

    @B3tan_Tyronne What channel/service is it on? I don’t do pirating though. Not since I downloaded House of Cards and wound up with a series of videos of Freeview 232

  • dook42_domini Dook 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 (@dook42_domini) reported

    would be nice to be able to watch the #eurovision2022 - youtube geo blocking, iplayer says no (geo blocked again), and freeview reception terrible.

  • RudolphUcker 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚝 𝚖𝚞𝚎𝚜𝚕𝚒  (@RudolphUcker) reported

    There is definitely a place amongst the 100+ channels we have on Freeview / freesat for something like Classic FM TV. I miss that, but it got lazy, and had pretty poor sound and picture quality.

  • Iain643 Iain Dear (@Iain643) reported

    @FoggWee This is true Yesterday morning flicked across to the TalkingPictures TV Channel 82 freeview Anyway short film about centre of London from 1935!!! and Westminster was covered in Scaffolding I thought that's not bad 85 Years later nothing has changed

  • TJStamp TJ Stamp (@TJStamp) reported

    @jaredspx @natehiggins Tried several… freeview, freesat, YouTube, TikTok… all are bad but iPlayer is best in class at the moment.
