    @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

    @_MrRLC Hi Richard, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this can you please provide your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • jesswarsh Jess Warshaw (@jesswarsh) reported

    @FreeviewTV I've tried ringing but noone picks up. I can't connect to Freeview and have tried everything can you help? Have sent you a DM

  • Hrawli H (@Hrawli) reported

    @Webbo2306 I’ve sorted it. Didn’t pay for HD as most Freeview channels are already in HD. It’s just the Sky channels that you have to pay for and I don’t really watch them much. Works out I’m paying £15 a month extra on my internet, so not bad. 👍🏻

    @Stoby_200 Glad to hear it's sorted. If you need Freeview support in the future, let us know.

  • chrismlburleigh Chris M L Burleigh (@chrismlburleigh) reported

    @TreeHouseBkshop I feel I'm missing out on this too, but I've always relied on Freeview. There's more TV than I can spend time watching, so I've never seen the point of paying for content I'll never get around to viewing - until now!

  • CupcakeBlaker Linda Blaker (@CupcakeBlaker) reported

    @FreeviewTV I have had no Freeview channels all day today. After a retune gone from 148 TV channels to 14. Please help. Area is BN16

  • 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.
