    @JohnDalton6011 Single ppoint of failure: The week long Freeview broadcast problem is another example of an efficient supply chain also being a very fragile supply chain. #bbcr4wato

  • DavidBoink David ***** (@DavidBoink) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Why is freeview via set top box so poor in comparison with aerial on same loop straight into back of telly?

  • Unt_Lion Michael Fuller (@Unt_Lion) reported

    @sparkyfireman @channel5_tv I don't think they'll be able to for now, since they are at a backup centre. On Sep 26th, there was an incident at the transmission centre for Channel 4 and Channel 5. And that has been showing up for those on Freeview and Virgin.

    @FreeviewAdvice Pity they weren't able to get on with the job sooner. Needs an inquiry into why Natural England/North York Moors National Park could delay it so long. This is an emergency situation for a lot of lonely people. I commend Arquiva/Freeview for putting up with red tape.

    @russeaside1053 @Knightie48 Hi Russell, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • HiFranc Francisco (@HiFranc) reported

    @KellyQuilt Do you use Freeview/Freesat or a paid for service? If the latter, may be time to switch to the former?

  • ellzagirliegirl E ✨ ❤️ (@ellzagirliegirl) reported

    @ReannaParkinson @NOW It’s expensive even to add multi room so it’s even worse getting a separate package. There’s only a few channels I would watch on Sky that aren’t on Freeview, and I rarely watch catchup Sky, so it wouldn’t be worth the stupid prices for me either.

  • rivier Julie Hull (@rivier) reported

    Looks like Chanbel 4 on Freeview has just gone tits-up AGAIN. Damn it, I’ll have to rejoin Virgin at this rate!
