    @virginmedia Still seeing issues with TV. Picture keeps flickering or freezing like a poor connection. No issues when watching the same channels via Freeview, so clearly not fully fixed. Rebooted Tivobox a couple of times, no change. When will things be back to normal?

    @WesleyDolan i like to pore over all the tv film guides in detail, see what's on saorview, what's on freeview, what's on channels i have to tune in, the itvs, channel4s, channel5s, then finally switch on the tv to where blazing saddles has been on for 10 minutes and flop down in front of that

  • Stuart_1992 Stuaгt (@Stuart_1992) reported

    @petemorristwit I still have the same issue with Freeview. At least with analogue you could receive a poor signal instead of one that breaks up completely. I'm so glad we have a satellite dish now.

  • RobertsonG Graeme (@RobertsonG) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Their helpline guy said that the issue might be with Freeview and that the mast was secure. I can get Free view from Eston Nab. Please between you get it sorted.

    @b8eak My God, look at the changes you’ve seen with tv. From just one channel (which closed down for hours on end) to today’s hundreds of channels on cable, Freeview, satellite etc!

  • LaughtonAlan Alan Bromley (@LaughtonAlan) reported

    @freesat_tv The problem is that the new FreeSat boxes are CRAP. We gave up on ours and just watch Freeview

  • stevend43829773 Stevend43829773 (@stevend43829773) reported

    Hi everyone, studio 66 TV is not on Freeview anymore, it's closed down for some reason, I can't watch Georgie Darby on screen anymore, I feel upset

  • MiserableBlader Judas McCabe (@MiserableBlader) reported

    Shocked that @footballheaven had Donny on Freeview yesterday. No idea what digital radio is like in Sheffield area but I can confirm that even awful MW is more reliable than FM in many parts of Sheffield and freeview is the only way to get audible commentaries for many #sufc

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

    The Bilsdale Quarry temporary transmitter failed at just before 1:45pm this afternoon. Freeview is advising affected viewers to not retune. Normal service continues from relay transmitters in the area, which are using a satellite back-up to maintain services.
