  • 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...😳

    @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.

  • 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.

    @UKChristmasTV Schedules suddenly appeared on Freeview guide this morning. Probably an issue for them given it was a weekend. Although, who knows? Have a week filled with happiness - Matthew.

  • PattyMinty Patty (@PattyMinty) reported

    @FreeviewTV No TV signal on my freeview no channels here in Liverpool, this is happening all over country, what is going on?

  • highwaylass Highwaylass 🌻 (@highwaylass) reported

    I’ve had to retreat from Freeview telly. The adverts are winding me up too much. Black November? **** off. It’s Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, IF YOU ARE IN THE USA. Adverts encouraging massive spending on Christmas? Stop guilting people. And adverts for funerals 😳

  • Lightforce_UK Terrance Metcalfe (@Lightforce_UK) reported

    @FreeviewTV Is this all the crap you can obtain- Freeview is total crap these days!

  • MT_Kilpatrick Michael Kilpatrick (@MT_Kilpatrick) reported

    Old Panasonic Freeview PVR no good for new ITV player and it had fault:, watch catch-up progs and it would occasionally freeze for 0.5secs. Bought a new Manhattan and it's just as crap - goes slow-mo for 2secs at random times. Why is everything such junk? @FreeviewTV

  • markcatchlove Mark Catchlove (@markcatchlove) reported

    @virginmedia I have had to dig out an old aerial lead so we can watch Freeview - so currently we are paying for a service we are not receiving

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Hi there - your channel seems to have vanished from my TV. Freeview, London area, strong line-of-site signal from Crystal Palace transmitter. It was there before. Retuning didn't work. Any ideas?
