    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @ibrocksom @virginmedia It was down on all platforms including Freeview so not a Virgin Media problem for a change

  • steeleyp_ PS (@steeleyp_) reported

    @LucyTurner_x @skytv Yes, £10 per month no matter how many pucks you have. The £50 per box charge is steep though. If broadband goes down, you can’t access any content as it doesn’t have a hard drive so you won’t even have recordings to watch. Only way around that is to have an aerial for Freeview

    @FreeviewAU Can you please stop the #Freeview info banner from popping up by itself every 5 minutes on my Sony Bravia X95G? Problem started this week after an update and it's starting to annoy me.

  • LLLioness1973 Linzi (@LLLioness1973) reported

    Anyone else having problems with Freeview as i have lost so manychabbels and reinstalled installation 4 times and still missing channels.

  • EssexRocker Dave (@EssexRocker) reported

    Disappointed that @skytv without a dish was announced as #SlyGlass and not the service launched in other countries. Seriously, WTF is that? I'll be stuck with Freeview and the limited features of @NOW for a while 🙁💩

  • Stuarsenal75 Rusty Gallante (@Stuarsenal75) reported

    @itv Freeview channels not working in RG21?

  • RobertF44768549 RAWriter (@RobertF44768549) reported

    @KerryDaynes @ClairClair211 I can't get Freeview (no terrestrial aerial). Curiously, Discovery+ isn't on FreeSAT, which I do get. Maybe there's some streaming service that includes it - I'll investigate.

  • runnerbrite Max Richens 💙 (@runnerbrite) reported

    @charlesarthur @BBCMoreOrLess Only Freeview. Freesat ones are a bit more expensive as generally on larger Sony boxes if I stayed Sony.. Though I also have a Panasonic freesat TV which works ok. But an issue is that the current one works so I am reluctant to add it to the heap of discarded electronics.

    * These two sites are affected as they currently broadcast all the main Freeview channels on the frequencies that Bilsdale will be using. To avoid interference, they need to come off air during tests. **That 80 metre temporary mast will be in service for quite some time.

    @Mark56623345 High pressure may also be affecting Freeview reception. To identify if this is the cause: - Check to see if both ITV and Channel 4 have a problem. - If it's just ITV, it's the problem with the Freeview multiplex feed. - If it's both services, it's your reception.
