    @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...😳

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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. 👍

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

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

  • LordWobbly Lord Wobbly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@LordWobbly) reported

    @fmdiscr @BeckettUnite It should never have been temporary though. Many people need that money desperately. The jubilee nonsense (and its extraordinary cost) was completely unnecessary and could've easily been dealt with as a one off event at Westminster Abbey, televised on a single freeview channel.

  • mrsgaius Mary White (@mrsgaius) reported

    @PolygoniaSpec @Samanth22356123 Ah. The Freeview is so awful here, you can barely watch it. It's really noticeable with 'Who wants to be a Millionaire', where the TV is so fuzzy you cannot actually read the 4 answers.

  • EnergyGeek2 EnergyGeek (@EnergyGeek2) reported

    @SebastianEPayne The problem here is why OFCOM allowed this channel to be called "GB News" To the man in the street, it is seen as a competitor to SKY News and BBC News As evidenced by its location on Freeview, channels 231, 233 vs 236.

  • SJW5678 Sam (@SJW5678) reported

    @netgemtv No AV button to select input, sound is poor PVR service only 1 tuner, it causes problems, this box has neat TV guide but the rest is so behind the times. gets red hot, the ITV hub app is the old version, recordings often fail. just a revamp of freeview play channel 100

  • TheNeensSpeech Nina Salome✨ (@TheNeensSpeech) reported

    A customer actually said he was in the club for free entertainment. The words actually left his mouth. Mate it’s a ********** not Freeview: The Live Experience.

  • Cidergender Ciderboy (@Cidergender) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cannot get Freeview sports channel help

  • MsShira50 🌺 Arlene (@MsShira50) reported

    Freeview is not working across most of north Otago, according to FB. So I don’t need to climb on the roof yay.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @BradTRC @a516digital Same here Brad, I can,t get the signals from freeview properly at my location any way, it's just finding out that parts of this are closing. I've had sky mini box and Q for over 2 years now with no problem what's so ever.

  • 1doublehandful ⓀⒶⓏ👷🏼‍♀️🇺🇦 (@1doublehandful) reported

    Not had use of @RacingTV for 10 days now. Their technical dept couldn’t help despite trying. All apps work fine bar RTV. I’m paying £25 a month to watch a black screen or frozen pixels. It’s Freeview all over again. Going to have to reluctantly cancel it. Frustrating!

  • roasty88 Ryan McVeigh (@roasty88) reported

    @WWEVacant @AEW I believe they are comparing Dynamite on itv4 (Freeview) to WWE on BT sport (paid subscription service). I would like to see a comparison of AEW to WWE shows on Freeview and see how they compare.
