    @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

    @FreeviewTV over the last 4/5 days I have lost a large number of Freeview channels, despite having repeatedly retuned I can't get them back and not sure what has happened, can you help please? - i'm covered by the Sandy Heath transmitter

    My dad: “I don’t think we’ve got that Tory news channel on the Freeview have we? I’ve never seen it” Me, to myself: “No, I delete it every time you ask me to do the channel rescan”

  • sheriffofknokem TrikiRefusenik (@sheriffofknokem) reported

    @EE @ThreeUK Why do you tolerate @JeremyVineOn5 bad-mouthing mobile phones ? He says using a mobile is '' like talking into a tin can '' every day .. He should be having a go at the dire reception on Freeview TV .

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @cutex24 Hi. It may be worth a re-tune if you've not tried that already. If you are still having problems it may be worth contacting Freeview themselves: Problems watching Freeview | Freeview

  • chris_sucksmith 🇬🇧 Chris 🇬🇧 (@chris_sucksmith) reported

    @smileamilewide @petemorristwit I just have a freeview tv. Which is fine, sort of, if you nit interested in top quality TV. A lot of repeating which is inevitable. All comes down to money and what you are willing to pay.

  • simesa Simon Ashton (@simesa) reported

    @moogal Are you on Freeview or satellite? Satellite can suffer from rain fade, especially if there’s heavy rain at the uplink and the downlink (home) location. Could be your dish is slightly off-beam which is made worse with all that water in the way of your signal.

  • SarahGrimshaw_x Sarah Grimshaw (@SarahGrimshaw_x) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Our JVC smart TV will only let us change channels if we go onto the Freeview Play Guide, it won’t change if we just type in the number using the remote (remote works for everything else. Any help please? We’ve also got an issue with bbc iPlayer not working.

  • SebbieJ Seb (@SebbieJ) reported

    How is it in 2023 @BBCNews still can't show local news in HD on @FreeviewTV. What exactly are we paying for again? Every other paid TV service (netflix, prime, etc) is delivering in 4k and we're still getting most Freeview channels in 480p it's 1992.

  • electrichoover Electrifed Hoover (@electrichoover) reported

    @orelduderino @Danlassman Is your TV remote broken? at least 200+ channels to choose from on Freeview (900+ if your lucky)
