    @101Maurice We get EE 4G but it's pretty patchy I live in a suburban area a couple of miles from Poole in Dorset and can't get a freeView signal so have to use Freesat....

  • JohnnyGaluva Johnny Galuva (@JohnnyGaluva) reported

    Is it just me, or is Channel 4, E4 and Film 4 not working on Freeview right now? I've got a frozen image on each channel! 😯

  • RealNewsUK News (@RealNewsUK) reported

    Should I report @RamadaHotels to @Ofcom for blocking @GBNews in their hotels or is it an Ofcom plan? RT News & Al Jazeera News also "no signal." Who owns them ? Rockafilla? Freeview is being censored.

  • rathmill86 Chris Rathmill (@rathmill86) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @emmah80 Mine is also doing this, when will this be resolved by? Freeview is actually a better service at the moment

  • Marc_Again Marc. AGAIN! (@Marc_Again) reported

    @VAS6323 She's on Freeview, but likes all of that treasure hunter crap. I just daisy chain them all together for her, and she now has 7 "potential tuners" Just like my old man, "maximum potential"

  • Flintaxe Amanda 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Flintaxe) reported

    Sooo, no freeview channels available whatsoever. No signal apparently. 🤷🏼 What a time to be alive.

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

    TV breakdown update: The worst is over for cable and satellite viewers. Freeview viewers appear to be worst affected, depending on which TV region you live in. This is because of Red Bee Media's role in getting TV services out to viewers via terrestrial TV.
