    @chloesammike @andywigmore @KayBurley Don't worry you can still get Sky news on channel 132 on your Freeview box. Thick ****.....

    @KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

    @richhiggins Apparently other brands have also had their issues. Seems mad. Maybe FreeView Play being greedy?!

    @Caitcrafter @BT Hi, Freeview is the system BT use but I don't know enough about this as business do not currently offer the service. My colleagues in Residential @BT_UK do so I have tagged them in to reply if they can help. Thank you for highlighting this

    @bt_uk Hi Aaron, I am in complete disbelief as to how long this takes to resolve. I don’t care who resolves it & not my problem he’s not in. I’m paying full price for freeview! I demand compensation and a quick resolve as this is just embarrassing for @bt_uk

    Good news: They're showing Ashes to Ashes on Freeview on Saturday afternoons. Bad news: They've had to cut the bit where Raymondo bites into some bloke's battered sausage.

    @RealDeniseWelch @itvcorrie What a nice photo, can't tell though who any of them are as I've never watched it. I think I gave up Freeview about 10 years ago now. Times have changed, most of my viewing comes from independent journalists channels on BITCHUTE!!!

    @FreeviewAdvice is there an issue with freeview? Since last week we have many channels without signal or pixelated. Have used website and run all checks. I see Crystal Palace trans is under eng. works. Channels mostly effected are more itv upwards.

    @FreeviewAdvice what’s the deal with @LGUK TVs not getting FreeView Play? One of their customer reps mentioned licensing issues, others say your developers are working on finishing apps for new TVs (odd, given those apps worked perfectly fine on same WebOS Last year). What gives?

    @DDunshaggin @Iromg Wish I could get my mum to tune in, however my plank of a father would only keep turning up the BBC or the other rubbish he watches on the Freeview idiot lantern to drown it out. He's like a junkie now for his fix of daily misinformation since March.
