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

@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...😳

@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.

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

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!!

@liampdwyer Thanks for getting back to us, Liam. This service can be accessed on freeview on channel 236, or if you're watching on the app. If it's hardly working, it'll be best to reset your TV box, and possibly your broadband.

@MovetheWorld9 @novaramedia This time in standard English rather than poor signal freeview.

Awful picture for this U21 match. Like watching Freeview on a smart tv.

@SteveWalesPhoto @StansaidAirport @DavidBflower That's modern technogy, we still have our Baird 405 line set with those spindly screw in legs. Problem is reception of Freesat / Freeview is frankly rubbish. But we like that screensaver when we turn off at night. This fading dot - riveting.

@FreeviewTV Hi Freeview 101 BBC has no EPG since your retune. Can you fix that please?
-

(@ihatemogs) reported
@crusaders1898 @andrewhdonohoe @Saraita101 No because it's called Saorview here, uses slightly different technology and doesn't carry BBC channels, only RTÉ and a few other domestic channels. Freeview, the UK system, is available in border areas where the signal leaks over the border, impossible to change.

I love all the drama from people complaining about the emergency alerts... "I DIDN'T CONSENT!". It's a broadcast. The gvt doesn't have access to your phone via emergency alerts. It's as intrusive as the BBC Freeview signal. Keep the alerts on. They could save your life.

@Artemisfornow They should make 'over-air' broadcast (Freeview etc) free and Charge for iPlayer access which is already behind a paywall of sorts because it asks for your TV License number already Over air programmes have poor Image Quality as it is; why pay for SD quality?
