    @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

    @BBCNews Oh poor thing diddums! When I was 20 you didn't have "Freeview" or a single channel to watch for nothing. And you went out when you could afford it. That encouraged you to work to better yourself. Zero sympathy.

    @FreeviewAdvice @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We have 4 tvs. 2 running off 2 feeds and 2 running off a different feed. All feeds are from the same aerial and the 3 tvs with working Internal freeview boxes are getting zero signal, so think the problem is at or below our aerial.

    @jackieshears2 The Freeview service is not something we have an effect on Jackie as this is not supplied by us. This service is supplied by the TV aerial coming into the property. Have you connected the TV aerial directly to the back of the TV to see if the issues are persisting?

    @fliceverett My first TV was a cast off of my Grandma which was B&W and for many years had a dodgy tube so that peoples feet appeared above their heads. I bought my second TV ( colour) from Boots in 1984 and only bought my current one because I was having problems with the Freeview box !

    @IHE_OFFICIAL It's been some years since we stopped paying our TV licence in my family and we've had no issues, we don't watch Freeview or anything like that any more. It's still ridiculous it's a thing in 2022 thoooo

  • Grinch_Fingers Steph (@Grinch_Fingers) reported

  • Haddy51 Sarah Haddock (@Haddy51) reported

    Hi @ArgosHelpers I bought a freeview box on 21/9/22 but it's faulty 2 months on. Keeps loosing signal then the whole thing has frozen not allowing channels to be changed or even switch off. How do I claim a refund?

  • Paulc2nd Paul Curry (@Paulc2nd) reported

    @JenBartram I came across an old episode of LOOK NORTH on my Freeview box the other day from 2020. I kept it because it had you doing a video diary of cutting down on waste. It was a bit like me when I vlog.
