  • 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...😳

  • quodignoratum Myles Winstone (@quodignoratum) reported from Warrington, England

    @TalkingPicsTV Definitely. We struggle getting Freeview and as you’re not on BT TV I’m missing my fix!

  • 2013jamiepep James Pepperd (@2013jamiepep) reported from St Helens, England

  • karlmcintyre Karl McIntyre (@karlmcintyre) reported from St Helens, England

    @drewhill79 @VodafoneUK @MattJConnor @StHKHIS Same here. BT got the 150 mb and it flies. Good support and I stream everything!! Don’t even have normal freeview.

  • bulldogbyrne julie byrne (@bulldogbyrne) reported from Hindley, England

  • 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!!

  • groovicat groovicat 💚 (@groovicat) reported from Adlington, England

    @Sillyshib Heartbeat, ssshhh, it's never been off. You can watch Heartbeat every day on freeview

  • Toffeewolfie Philip whitehurst (@Toffeewolfie) reported from Liverpool, England

    @rlwjones @Nick_Metcalfe @MarkyBunny They made one champions League game per round free to air..usually the crap games though..they used to have a channel on Freeview..

  • 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.

    There's a new TV news station on the block starting soon on Freeview etc. GB News. To show your support for a healthy alternative to the usual BBC/ITN/Ch4/Sky News channel, search "New British... " on Facebook

  • dav_jolly Buzby (@dav_jolly) reported

    @Hookademus @SpudFromDublin @MattAndo63 When my Virgin service goes down I switch to Freeview so still have Tv!

  • Borders750 Graeme Rendall (@Borders750) reported

    @THESPACEC0WB0Y Doubtful, although there's always the remote possibility that one of the UK news shows picks parts of it out. I don't think CBS is available on Freeview, just CNN, and from what I've seen of that, it's terrible.

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @landiejm Sadly no, it's TV only. Freeview 81. Sky 328. Freesat 306. Virgin 445. And not a stupid question at all.

  • fat_tramp Gaz... (@fat_tramp) reported

    @litg50 @LozzaFox @BBC Freeview you idiot just like now but without paying £160 for the privilege of free to air television.

  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported

    @jameswaters I still use one of those to spit the output of our antenna to two rooms. Thankfully we have a strong enough signal from Bluebell Hill to maintain a stable Freeview signal.

  • alison1010 Alison (@alison1010) reported

    @Stewart71608150 😠 We never get any decent sport on Freeview channels any more because of them.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I'm mystified why they send someone round when I've already established reception is not possible. I watch local TV on sky or freesat no problem!which is for the Thames valley, on freeview its if I'm lucky other wise very weak Anglia or west from swindon.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @jax20206 Hi, there hasn't been any update to Freeview recently. Was it an update to the Freeview Play app or perhaps the software on the TV? Updates to apps should not affect your TVs connection to your SKy service.
