    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    If we're in lock down for another 3 weeks, I really feel the #sonyChristmasChannel should be put back on #freeview...Will keep people in the house ( okay, it'll easily keep me in the house🎅🤶🌲

    @c25zbb24f6 @netblocks I can't even get normal TV apart from freeview, I'm in Premier inn, paid £5 for ultimate WiFi and can't even connect to the Internet never mind streaming.

  • NigelRollings Nigel Rollings (@NigelRollings) reported

    @LesleyB58051421 It's been fine the last two days. This morning, when I switched it on at 10:27, it defaulted to Absolute Radio. I've given up and switched to Freeview for today but it's a dodgy signal!

  • Savantfoxt Savantfoxt (@Savantfoxt) reported

    @KazzyAnnie1 I got fed up with Virgin internet dropping several times a day and the frequent sales calls. I switched to BT, 6 months later I haven't had a single outage or annoying sales call. Speed about the same but it depends on your area. Going freeview too is where I saved money.

    @cutex24 Hi. It may be worth a re-tune if you've not tried that already. If you are still having problems it may be worth contacting Freeview themselves: Problems watching Freeview | Freeview

    @Scrippsy48 It's on freeview 716 on the TV if that's any help

  • ZH956 TTNeb (@ZH956) reported

    Sat down with my tea to watch #Unforgotten Freeview box let me down. Recording failed 😭 Now have choice to watch on phone via @ITVX as can't link it to tv or wait for laptop to be repaired & watch it on that in a few days. #Gutted

    @SyphinB @WrestlingHumble I think they're overestimating based on the viewing numbers vs the WWE The thing is, AEW is on Freeview TV. WWE is currently on the #2 Ranked Sports Subscription service in the UK. Even the network doesn't let you watch WWE live unless you have that Sub That effects the ratings

    @karlypants1 @UKTVPlayHelp One problem is that the Freeview platform involves too many cooks but no chef that will take overall responsibility for sorting this type of problem. Maybe a campaign for refunding the TV licence fee would get some attention?

  • TalkingPicsTV Talking Pictures TV (@TalkingPicsTV) reported

    @cutex24 Hello. Thanks for letting us know. It is possible that it is temporary due to weather conditions. Where are you watching from (and via which service, Freeview etc)?

  • simesa Simon Ashton (@simesa) reported

    @moogal Are you on Freeview or satellite? Satellite can suffer from rain fade, especially if there’s heavy rain at the uplink and the downlink (home) location. Could be your dish is slightly off-beam which is made worse with all that water in the way of your signal.
