  • 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...😳

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

    I don't have an ariel or freeview I rely on your piece of shit @virginmedia #VirginMedia

  • 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.

  • 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. 👍

  • 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!!

    Has anyone attempted to use FreeSurfers freeview for Voxel/Recon edit on WSLg? I'm having issues where the pop-out menus just refuse to respond to input #neuroscience #freesurfer #NeuroTwitter

  • jaco45er Jaco45er (@jaco45er) reported

    @dougmcfarlane41 @NickyAACampbell @bbc5live There was something on the radio the other day about claiming money from companies who don’t provide paid internet services after so many days. I guess freeview wouldn’t be included. What is the actual problem, have they said?

  • mal1eto Stuart Ross (@mal1eto) reported

    @TelegraphRugby @GavinMairs Wtf. No Freeview coverage. Channel 5, channel 4, l ITV, it's all going ppv wrong wrong wrong!

  • lgladdy Liam (@lgladdy) reported

    @willsandry I’m watching on actual TV/Freeview. They’re still not right after the Red Bee fire/oxygen suppression system issues over the weekend. I think they must be broadcasting on backup systems.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Red Bee Incident Update: ▪ E4+1 is back on Freeview channel 29 ▪ E4, More 4 and Film 4 have returned to Freeview in the East Midlands (Waltham transmitter group). Film 4 without sound (h/t @Indigo_Assoc). E4 without DOG. ▪ My5: Live streams C5, Paramount working, but...

  • PhlipGodfrey Philip Godfrey (@PhlipGodfrey) reported

    @johnzharper00 @E4Tweets I would have thought that as well but it's something to do with the way Freeview is routed around the Freeview network, we don't have E4 where I live so losing E4+1 is really disappointing.

  • knit1slip1psso Plane Jane 🇪🇺 (@knit1slip1psso) reported

    @mojomarconi The problem is sweetheart you are not in Europe. We can only get Freeview through a third party. Freesat footprint, since the new Satellite doesn’t reach places it used to reach. BritBox is not available in Portugal, although I would be happy to subscribe. 😭🤬

  • differ_dare Dare Differ (@differ_dare) reported

    @Limping_Chicken Too many Freeview channels without any or nominal amount of subtitles after all these years. Horror does none, yet most horror is dark for scare effect, folk whisper... Worse kind of set up to try and make out what happening. Access to service - subtitles should be mandatory now.
