    @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

  • JamieNemeth Jamie Nemeth (he/him/they/them) (@JamieNemeth) reported

    Next week on my Twitch stream: Freeview watchalong! Can't see any potential issues with rebroadcasting content from the BBC, ITV, Channels 4 and 5, UKTV, Quest, etc. I mean, they're literally giving it away for free on Freeview! That's how copyright and fair use works, right?

  • recovringlawyer Matt (@recovringlawyer) reported

    @LGUKCare Hello, I need some help tuning my TV for Freeview etc. I've tried a few times (and I have a digital aerial) without success. Also trying to update the various apps and that's not working either (the TV is connected to my WiFi).

  • Nick_Payne Nick Payne (@Nick_Payne) reported

    Anybody else in the midlands just lost Freeview? @FreeviewTV is there a transmitter down?

  • NatJSummers Nat J Summers (@NatJSummers) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Our freeview reception has all@of a sudden started playing up this afternoon (around 4pm), it’s all channels, doesn’t seem to be an issue internally and we don’t have strong weather conditions etc… our postcode is BS20. Is there a general issue?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Wales: Preparations for changes to Freeview HD services in Wales: New - Service ID (SID) 17792 and SID 18174 on PSB3/BBC-B. S4C HD is coming.

    @Mark56623345 Apparently you can watch test transmissions on Freeview. Not sure how though as I've never had Freeview before.

  • BBCNottingham BBC Radio Nottingham (@BBCNottingham) reported

    Due to technical issues, transmission via 103.8FM may be affected between 12pm and 2pm today. But don't worry! You can still listen to BBC Radio Nottingham online, on Freeview, or by tuning over to DAB 📻 We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.

  • Old_Smudger Martyn (@Old_Smudger) reported

    @Richard_K_P @OldBlueyes @virginmedia That’s unfair quoting facts people 😜 I had the TV outage. It was during the day and could easily use Freeview until it came back. WiFi was fine. Since VM/O2 merger I’ve had my mobile data doubled and broadband increased to 350 from 200 - for free! Roaming announcement also 👍👍
