  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @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

    Just tried to retune Freeview and I've lost the multiplex with BBC News HD and BBC4 HD amongst others. Is there a problem with the Belmont transmitter or is it my end of things? cc @looknorthbbc

    There are problems with the Freeview signal in EG this evening, affected by atmospheric conditions, apparently.

  • Juju72028287 Juju (@Juju72028287) reported

    @FreeviewTV Would love to watch, but Freeview seems to be down - surely you're not ignoring the fact that the service has been bad all week and has completely given up today. Or am I just imagining a no signal message on every channel?
