    @FreeviewAdvice I live in AL1 district of ST Albans and as of 20.30, 15/3/2022 we lost Freeview. We receive our signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter, do you know of any problems?

    @clarketelecom Please can you tell me what you can do about my TV signal? Since you installed a 5G mast almost opposite my house it has disrupted my freeview signal and now I have lost half the channels. I can't even watch ITV!! Please tell me how you wish to rectify this?

    @RadioTimes I have done that, but the site doesn't seem able to remember one's chosen service provider between visits. Despite my remaining logged in it always defaults back to "Popular Channels" rather than remembering that I had selected "Freeview" previously . . .

    @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👍🙏

    @rlrossi64 Good question. I'm guessing: network television; broadcast TV; digital TV channels; Freeview. Creates a distinction between those and streaming services, I guess.

  • Tillymint53 Tillymint (@Tillymint53) reported

    @happyborg @RadioTimes Yeh I find that freeview one is okay..just have to get used to a different site. I think that RT think I am on a mobile phone but I am on a HP laptop so swiping etc just doesn't work.

    Freeview Play and LG have announced a new five-year agreement this morning, so after the unexpected Freeview Play issues of LG's 2020 TVs, UK LG TV buyers won't have to worry about potentially not getting the main UK terrestrial broadcaster apps again until 2027.

  • Mr___Boy John (@Mr___Boy) reported

    @Channel4 6 months after your major outage, I'm still seeing really bad audio sync on freeview... The internet is full of others saying the same thing. No other live TV has this issue. @WeAreWhisperTV is it just your F1 shows, that's all I watch on the channel?

    So now we have lost the Breeze music channel from NZ Freeview, and have instead more low-value 'reality', game shows and other such garbage.
