    @MiguelDelaney @david_conn It's on Sky, not freeview. Super league was a **** idea, sky, BT, UEFA all need to be seen as what they are, not the good guys

  • AnkerSchiff Anker Schiff (@AnkerSchiff) reported

    @TogetherukTV All, also Big Dreams Small Spaces with Monty Don. Are you still showing it? Also please fix info on Freeview, I try to watch or record your programs, and it's not shown correctly especially at night. Is there a catch up or online way to watch?

  • Co1Mary Mary Cook (@Co1Mary) reported

    @TruthOls @Reuters CNN is not available on Freeview TV, I don't pay for a subscription service and I don't watch news online.

  • beezly Andrew Beresford (@beezly) reported

    Anyone else getting weird audio problems with @BBCLookNorth on BBC1 Freeview from Emley Moor transmitter?

  • proogs Peter Scandrett (@proogs) reported

    @jimmygulp Good example of the issue: Last Friday eve, WILTY, BBC1, Freeview guide starts "Rob Brydon is back in the host’s chair for a brand new series". S13, ep1. Problem is that S14 has aired recently, and it's blatantly not a new series.

  • bbchw BBC H and W (@bbchw) reported

    Due to a transmitter fault, we are currently off on FM in the Herefordshire area. You can still listen on DAB, online or via Freeview. Engineers are working on resuming service.

    @GMB Should we stop giving bad news media Freeview space?

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital Last time I contacted freeview about the issues, the lady suggested I buy a new scart lead, or my tvs the wrong type.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital After freeview sent harry hill round to sort out my reception issue, I'm not going into again, I spent best part of £250 on an aerial to try and get proper local reception which doesnt work.

    @NOWMusic Thank god its only for a short time, my sky dish won't pick up Now80's, its on one of the dodgy low frequencies, really going to miss it until its back on Freeview, you need to fix that sky frequency.
