    ah hell, Mum's TV hasn't picked up the changes on Freeview and needs help. Pity she is a 7hr drive away

  • DonPedley1 Don Pedley (@DonPedley1) reported

    Have questioned why so few stations on Freeview in BN12 area. The reply from Freeview indicates reception in the area is poor as only a relay service & many stations not provided. Here is the conversation & how to complain to improve the service if you agree (I want Sky Arts)

    @dramachannel The Freeview guide listings issue only affects Drama +1 displaying Dave listings.

    @commaficionado I think I preferred analogue TV static to when the Freeview boxes first came out, because you could still watch through a bit of static, but with digital it would go all pixelated and then lose the signal when there was a bad storm, which happened quite often in rainy Manchester.

    @MrDavidEBrown No, not at all. It's all becoming very fragmented. What will Sky have when they lose the HBO stuff? I've always been a Sky customer but I'll ditch them and go Freeview and have HBO Max when that launches. It's so confusing at the moment.

    @RestoreTVHelp Thank you very much for solving a long term issue I had with my Freeview Channels. Cards through the letter box normally go in the bin! Got one from RTV. Filled out online form, called them, 2 days later magic little box arrived and 5 mins later problem solved👍🙏

    @FreeviewAdvice That's strange as other sites that I use are working expect for the freeview website bad it was working for me last Thursday

    @StewartMcDonald @Ofcom I had assumed that RT’s disappearance from Freeview was down to UK actions (Ofcom). Turns out it was the EU!
