    @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...😳

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

    @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.

    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!!

  • 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.

  • Fembybass Femby🦃🎇🎆Tem💛🤍💜🖤 (@Fembybass) reported

    @CactiEmpress Never watched it ngl, the only American sitcoms we had on UK freeview was Big bang theory and How I met your mother just constantly on repeat on this one channel called "E4"

  • ASorockyj Antony Sorockyj (@ASorockyj) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @micknufc Freeview down again in Nottingham how long before all working?

  • adiospantaloons Trumpet Compulsory (@adiospantaloons) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV @Simon_Pegg I wish. I can't seem to watch your channel, no matter how hard I track it down. No website or app seems to stream it, and we can't get Freeview as aerials don't work in our wooded part of the country :-(

  • feverpitch96 andrew lambkin (@feverpitch96) reported

    @Foxtel Is this a bad joke? It's 2021, but add a bit of wind and for the last 72 hours my $100/month 18-years-installed Foxtel satellite dish signal has suddenly been breaking up and stuffing about worse than Freeview. Seriously?? #notgoodenough

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @mjohndyke Do you use freeview or another service to watch TV? You might need to retune.

  • RyanDaniel3 Ryan Daniel (@RyanDaniel3) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I live in cardiff but receiving gloucester and Bristol channels on my freeview I've retuned many times. How can I fix this?

  • richardjacobs1 Rich Jacobs💙 (@richardjacobs1) reported

    @SimonBrodkin Similar goings on with mine. We need to compile a parental / grandparental FAQ to avoid the call outs. “Q: You think Freeview not working? A: press Input. Antenna = aerial = Freeview” My latest call out!

  • Johnjac86130202 John jackson (@Johnjac86130202) reported

    @MerielMyers I don't buy any streaming. I sometimes look at programme listings and see it's 99% utter dross . Freeview and standard TV channels provide enough crap without paying for more.

  • Lynne1108 L y n n e 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Lynne1108) reported from Nottinghamshire, England
