  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • psnow85 Peter Snow (@psnow85) reported from Arkley, England

    @Samantha_J_Rea Hmm not to sure about freeview but definitely freesat it’s been taken off for over a year. Probably the same though. Sucks big time. Anyway. Hope you are well.

    Watched the Rangers* game when it came Freeview today. Malmo worked to stop crosses from the wings- the main route of attack. They also defended well when crosses did come in. Rangers struggled to play through the middle and their shooting was terrible. McGregor slow low right

    @greatmoviesuk why does your channel 49 on BT and Freeview keep going to signal quality 0% every few minutes No other channel does

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @pigletish @roselc04 Hi Anneli, You can acquire Freeview boxes from most retailers, both online and in-store! In regards to indoor aerials, we do not recommend them as they are not guaranteed to provide a signal, they depend on a good line of sight to the transmitter to receive a signal. Dev.

    @FreeviewAdvice Fortunately my TV has freesat. Freeview play is terrible and you can't easily watch live TV on it. I fear I may have turned to the dark side forever

  • DugaldMacMilla2 Dugald MacMillan (@DugaldMacMilla2) reported

    So, at home full Sky, Netflix, Prime and Disney+ and my children never watch TV. In London, no Internet. They are utterly fascinated by Grand Designs on Freeview.

    Viewers able to receive the temporary Freeview service from Eston Nab in Redcar, Hartlepool and area, a reminder this only carries the main Public Service Broadcasters, so you won't get as many channels as you did directly from #Bilsdale.

  • gazzaeuro Gary Spence (@gazzaeuro) reported

    BBC One SD is working on Freeview but isn't BBC One HD the Bilsdale signal is weak and unstable. But the picture just went off. P.S. The English regional programmes won't be in HD until next year. #Bilsdale

  • Teuchter86 Kevin Morrison (@Teuchter86) reported

    @FloydTweet Doesn't your TV have Freeview built in? Thought they all came like that now, plus check your "sources" on the tv as that may be an issue

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    Viewers in NE England: The Bilsdale transmitter is still off-air after a fire. Engineers are working to re-route signals from other transmitters to bring Freeview back - hundreds of thousands of homes should see signal return today. We appreciate your patience.
