    @FreeviewTV hi Freeview Thunderstorm yesterday, electric went off After coming back on I'd list most of the channels I have i remaining I've tried to auto tune and keep getting same 8 channels How can it be fixed, your help line is not too good, it cuts out?

  • paulofthepool Paulofthepool (@paulofthepool) reported

    @DeliaNGoG That is really low signal strength. Is this via an aerial or digitally? If an aerial looks like it's out of whack direction-wise. Had a storm? If using Freeview you probably will lose a lot if not got decent signal strength and only picking up from nearest transmitter.

    @amazonfiretv Just done an update. Now my tv is stuck on Home Screen. Can’t watch freeview tv, change input. Can only watch Netflix prime and Disney. No freeview no PlayStation. Help.

    @DukeHollyrood @Inside_TheRopes As far as I've seen, @peacockTV is basically a free add-on, not a self-contained broadcasting network, so it'll likely be available alongside current networks, either as an additional service alongside a major network, a free service (similar to Freeview), or both.

    @FreeviewAdvice what is going on with freeview all signals are down in #Northampton

  • Christonabikee Christ on a bike (@Christonabikee) reported

    @elseano85 @NoContextBrits Freeview channels funding themselves through advertising, like they already do, & paid ad-free subscription services, like the ones that already exist Literally the only thing that needs to change is the BBC becoming a subscription service. It isn't that difficult to understand

  • ADewiM Alex (@ADewiM) reported

    @King_Buxton @JeffGrubb Had to look it up to see if my memory was broken and I guess they just renamed UKTV G2 then Gold stopped being freeview a few years later.

  • featuredreamer Ian S Rickard (@featuredreamer) reported

    @NLebrecht I didn't hear that problem. It sounded fine on my Freeview digital TV and combined HiFi. I will try to take ore notice of the balance of instruments, as the Proms continue.

    @B260Eb @AnnSkelly3 Wait , My bad . She would have to have a basic channel subscription to enable Freeview as the TV is online . I stand corrected by my oh . Apologies 😔

    @TBNUKtv Aww @TBNUKtv! I do think if you had a shop on the website selling cups and t-shirts e.t.c. you could raise a lot of funds to help stay broadcasting on Freeview.
