    @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

    @AlanJon53947014 @albolt76 My BBC Freeview was down last week so i hashtagged both words and my oh my..... 😳👀 And thats my story.....

  • chrisandmarkuk ❄️❄️❄️ Chris ❄️❄️❄️ (@chrisandmarkuk) reported

    @MarinaHyde I can’t believe this happened. Horrendous for those people involved but as a bystander it’s like a terrible plot for a mini series you see on the Freeview ‘drama’ channels. Absolute madness.

    @InspireAndStyle @FreeviewAdvice Hi Karen, I had the same problem and I done a software update on my TV and reset the TV to default again after the update and it worked. You may also need to update the freeview app from your TV store (android play store) or LG store for example.

    @smurfing66 I believe that is the case, although the actual Freeview channel depends on which transmitter you get your TV signal from. The other thing is that Radio Solent broadcasts different matches on different frequencies / Freeview channels (Cherries, Saints, Pompey and Eastleigh)

  • DallasStarsUK UK Dallas Stars Fanatics (@DallasStarsUK) reported

    @soph_letitia It’s on FreeSports not Premier, you can watch it online or on FreeView if you can get it on your TV down there

  • intouchwithox David Oxendale M7OXY (@intouchwithox) reported

    @transdiffusion I was there. With the red square of signal death. What a great team we had at Ondigital. It's a pity it was doomed to fail from the outset - but every time I use Freeview, I'm glad we did what we did to make DVB happen.

    Anyone having issues with BBC channels on Freesat channels? Ok on my Freeview. Checked cables and sat dish, but all seems fine. All other channels are fine, just BBC pixelating? SW Scotland here.

  • curlyjimsam Jim the Jim (@curlyjimsam) reported

    @RealFloppyLion we were never able to pick up Channel Five on terrestrial, so we had four channels right up until we got Freeview

  • 100voicess Lauren Towers (@100voicess) reported

    @virginmedia All checked no issues that I can find...far worse if I'm trying to watch channels not on freeview

    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.
