  • 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. 👍

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • Robbo72uk Andy Roberts (@Robbo72uk) reported from Southport, England

    Virgin tv and broadband gone down yet again. Resorting to Freeview right now. The picture quality is actually much better than Virgin...AND no glitches and constant picture breakup!!

  • joyembra Joy Embradura (@joyembra) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Hi! I bought a new jvc TV and tuned my freeview but there are no channels before 12. It says scanning complete. I have another tv in another room and my freeview channels start from 1. Hope you can help. Thanks!

  • FawnyChai Fawny🍂 (@FawnyChai) reported

    @IHE_OFFICIAL It's been some years since we stopped paying our TV licence in my family and we've had no issues, we don't watch Freeview or anything like that any more. It's still ridiculous it's a thing in 2022 thoooo

  • Beardy359 Stephen Lister 💙 (@Beardy359) reported

    My Youview box has packed up. No major problem, but it was convenient to have all my streaming apps (more or less) in one place with one controller. Am I better off buying an android box or a smart tv with all built in? I have an Amazon stick but no Freeview on it. Thoughts?

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I can stream most of the freeview channels no problem on sky puck. Or watch on sky + or sky Q or freesat.

  • JamesD_EFC James Davis 🇺🇦 (@JamesD_EFC) reported

    @LGUKCare Hi LG, my TV model number 43UP78006LB won't detect any channels through cable input and doesn't detect any Freeview channels via Wifi. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

  • Ucan_Call_Me_Al Alex White (@Ucan_Call_Me_Al) reported

    @LGUK is it true that my LG tv screen keeps going black because of an issue with HD freeview signal? Got told by your rep that I had to wait three weeks for a software update.

  • explodingwalrus Carl Draper (@explodingwalrus) reported

    the @BBC channels on Freeview are all currently down for me

  • ftsov ftsov (@ftsov) reported

    @di_burrowes73 @NeighboursTV @AmazonFreevee Sorry, I thought perhaps you didn’t realise as you were asking about the Amazon freeview service. Thought i was being helpful. Please accept my apologies. Have a good day.

  • MikeRuddick Mike Ruddick (@MikeRuddick) reported

    @itv please fix the glitch that’s making our picture jump. Happening across all Sky channels, normal freeview, but not on freeview HD. Also goes away during ad breaks
