    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • gordonhudsonnu Gordon Hudson (@gordonhudsonnu) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @HumanityReality @TonyTcrawley666 @voodude64 There is. They are all availble on their own streaming apps like iPlayer All4 etc. What Kapang did was aggregate them all into one place. I had a look and their other channels are still working, just not the Freeview ones. This makes me suspect its a legal issue.

  • Houseofclinick Pete Clinick (@Houseofclinick) reported

    @BathCA @JackDeBath @sidcot Yes the mobile reception in Bath can be patchy, especially EE, but for years the TV reception on the south side of the valley has been crap, very few Freeview channels are available from the transmitter on Bathampton Down. Nobody seems to have ever worried about that.

  • orryverducci Orry Verducci (@orryverducci) reported

    @FactsStomp @cleanfeed_ttvr Depends when they updated the EPG. Sky updates within minutes. Freeview and Freesat can take a hour or two. Virgin doesn't support dynamic updates so only updates if it days ahead

  • obbsie Chris Hobbs (@obbsie) reported

    Just zapped into Really TV Channel (Ch 17 Freeview) Minute by Minute Emergency which features a terrible day in Melbourne on the 20th January 2017.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life 🐀 (@FactsStomp) reported

    @cleanfeed_ttvr @Ofcom I genuinely don't understand why Freeview seems to be resolutely stuck with DVBT1. Surely at this point the vast majority of STBs and TVs support DVBT2? We just need 1 mux with channels 1-5 & filler for SD only sets & finally let Freeview have a half decent picture quality again

  • GP6312 Graham 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@GP6312) reported

    @AvonandsomerRob Never took the Sky pill. Told them I didn’t want to fund the Murdoch revolution! When Freeview came along there were enough channels and now predominantly use catch up and YouTube. Just need to tell the BBC to FO now!

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    Tonight and tomorrow's warning of freezing fog across parts of England a reminder that in some areas, those weather conditions could cause terrestrial (Freeview) TV and FM/DAB radio interference. Do not adjust your set, or retune if your signal glitches this weekend!
