    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • 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

  • brains2laurie Brian Laurie (@brains2laurie) reported

    @channel5_tv Yes.. 7mins before the end your channel 5+1 has gone down on Freeview #dissapointed

  • DavidCarrollIr1 David Carroll (@DavidCarrollIr1) reported

    Sometimes there is nothing interesting on Freeview which lèads one to Blaze & The Roswell incident. I listen to it from a psychological perspective & hear multiple doubt in the voices of those speaking.

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

    @smurph25 @cleanfeed_ttvr Until earlier on, the slot was showing a Saorview information video. 544x576 SD, same resolution as Sky News on Freeview.

  • mark_simpson Mark Simpson 🏳️‍🌈 (@mark_simpson) reported

    @keithbelfast @rte It never has been before and they stream it internationally so I think you'll be ok. Stream sometimes struggles so Sky/Freeview would be best...

  • Lutzoid Stephen Farrell (@Lutzoid) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice quick question folks. Just bought a new TV and the Freeview Play app is installed. I honestly don't know if this is an on demand service or a live broadcast service (or both?) I have no TV aerial, nor TV licence as I haven't watched live broadcast TV for years.

  • artsngrafts Megz ✨ (@artsngrafts) reported

    @bt_uk Thanks Claire. We keep losing freeview channels or they go fuzzy. We were told to buy something to help with the signal but we don’t want to pay for something else on top of the bill. I’ve retuned, fixed factory settings etc. I’ve always been a loyal customer but had enough tbh.

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Obviously today they'd be issues anywhere but generally speaking finding Freeview HD muxes far less resiliant than they used to be. As much as I think a switch to an HD/T2 only platform is long overdue I guess there are advantages to having the SD backup for the main chanenls.

  • retrofan1980 Mark Boreham (@retrofan1980) reported

    Considering ditching Freeview and moving to Freesat. I live in an area where we only get about 70% of channels whilst 20 miles away I'd get the full service. Also at times the Freeview signal is getting bad.

    @SourceproDesign @ukiswitheu B) You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch live TV on any channel or TV service - such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV - on any device
