  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • adrianatkins196 adrian atkins (@adrianatkins196) reported from Crayford, England

    @Forces_TV hi guys having a few problems with your freeview picture in London it freezes or breaks up had it since Friday

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @FreeviewAdvice hi there. Please see DMs sent to Freeview account asking for support with channels that don't show (weird D sign with \ on it next to them) including Sky News, Pick and others. Many thanks

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

  • Catwomanx6 Lady Linda Christie #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Catwomanx6) reported

    @WASoutlooks @JeanneBartram @virginmedia They either think we're idiots or they are. They told me not to cancel the DD until they've spoken to me, then have gone quiet since 12 noon yesterday. Sod that. I've cancelled it and bought a cheaper broadband and a Freeview recorder.

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @sharepointalex Hi Alex, I believe there is no free service of channels if you cancel your subscription with Virgin. In order to receive Freeview you will need an aerial connected to the TV. Thank you, Melissa

  • HDRDean Dean from Oz (@HDRDean) reported

    @HisenseAus I have tried calling your Customer service...no answer, tried the callback, no calls. I have a simple question, why is Freeview no longer working on my 49P4? It was working when we bought it, then it disappeared, came back a few months later and now gone again.

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    So any atmospheric pressure over 1,005 mBar just lays to waste nearly half of my Freeview channels. Goes from 147 to 96. All BBC, ITV and Channel 4 gone. Pulling the aerial out and returning trick, does not help With the rain last night, did get 107 now back to 96.

  • UridiumAuthor Andrew Braybrook (@UridiumAuthor) reported

    @moresunshine_1 I already have to do all my Mum's PC and tablet updates, along with all her Freeview re-tuning that goes on. We just had a big channel shuffle/loss as some more bandwidth is given to the 5G mobile network. I like that they can fix bugs, but new features should be optional.

  • sweetcandiiee92 Cottoncandiiee (@sweetcandiiee92) reported

    @lumixkat I was trying to watch it on Freeview demand or even Britbox however these steaming apps failed, so now I just wait until C4 or E4 which is just annoying as I normally would watch the next day episode with my morning breakfast ahahaha, 1st World problems ahahaha.

  • ratters64 Ratters (@ratters64) reported

    @tonyplay1066 @ladbible Believe it or not, I pay for Sky Movies, Amazon Prime, Netflix And Disney+ and almost everything I watch is on terrestrial, I should cancel and just get Freeview🤪

  • wrobexee1 Mike Weir (@wrobexee1) reported

    @Stuart_NashMP Speaking to an installer, he can confirm multiple people with the issue, some have spent good money themselves trying to fix. but its from the transmitter not their TVs. Freeview refuse to answer email enquiries. I ahve sent 3 requests with no response over a period of a week.

  • _oatc_ oatc (@_oatc_) reported

    @RobM37099974 @tx_pros @jduffyrice Not sure how many in 🇬🇧 even realise the channel exists on Freeview never mind having opinions about it. Obviously, you're right in respect of conspiracy theory devotees in 🇺🇸

  • wrobexee1 Mike Weir (@wrobexee1) reported

    @TVNZ @ThreeNewZealand are you guys aware of the issue with Freeview in Southland? Pixilation and sound drop out. All Channels all of the time. I have tried to report to Freeview, but after 4 emails and no response back after a week, thought I would see if you have any clout.
