    @TalkTalk my elderly mother is having issues with her TalkTalk freeview box which she has had for approximately 5 years. How do we get it replaced for a newer version? Please help as she relies on tv. Symptoms are when changing the channel screen goes blank and box needs a reboot

    @EFAY1EIGHT Freeview crap.

    @JamiePa79580833 @juneslater17 Oh that's why my broadband is crap - better get rid of the cat if her chip's interfering with the signal. Is that why sometimes I can get Freeview & other times it tells me ITV, Channel 4... don't exist?

    Wish they never removed @kiss & #Kisstory off Freeview TV. As much as I like @CapitalOfficial they literally play the same songs every hour of every single day. I miss the KISS vibes

    @Ramtronik Older TVs simply ignore them as they don’t support DVB-T2, not even adding the channels to main channel list. For example, an old Freeview TV will not add BBC One HD on channel 101 or U&Eden on channel 57. That’s not the case with this latest change, which uses DVB-T1 for the

    Freeview is having regular issues with interference on BBC channels where the picture breaks up, meaning the TV needs regular retuning. Why is there this issue? @FreeviewAdvice @bbcpress @Ofcom

    @TavernHoyden I have freeview now But when I had Virgin - one of their old boxes I had had an ariel jackplug in it so whenever Virgin TV went down it would automatically switch to the freeview aerial - back then Virgin rarely went down though

    @skytv we have been with you for 20 years, yet still can’t seem to get the service. Perhaps it’s time for a new change by just sticking with Netflix/BBC and Freeview? Not surprised that these streaming services will send your business right in to the ground 👎🏻

    One of my 5 year predictions: YouTube (free version) will subtly increase the duration of adverts and their frequency just like freeview tv has done over the years. I never watch normal tv but anytime it's on at a friends house or somewhere the amount of adverts is insane
