  • Crewedaddy Richard Seamon (@Crewedaddy) reported from Crewe, England

    @james_blue_cat Can't afford any streaming service or the hardware upgrade to accommodate one. Freeview and iPlayer is enough. Didn't switch telly on Xmas day and Bob and Paul going fishing was my highlight.

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • minxsterev helen kirk (@minxsterev) reported from Crewe, England

    @curryspcworld Just been into your Crewe store looking for a freeview box. 5 staff members fiddling with displays, me the only customer. Not one member of staff came to see if I needed help. Going elsewhere as you obvs don't need my custom.

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

  • kirstxxiv kirstylouise (@kirstxxiv) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

  • jamestestarossa James Turner (@jamestestarossa) reported

    @bt_uk Not a freeview issue. Picture is currently doing it and the Home menu is not viewable due to the distortion so unable to check signal strength. Plugged aerial in direct to TV and absolutely fine.

  • FactsStomp Phil's Train and Retro Life (@FactsStomp) reported

    @JHenryHardy @a516digital I honestly don't understand why anybody would watch the funeral coverage in ultra low resolution on the Sky owned Freeview channels rather than on BBC 1,2 or ITV (even in SD)

  • Eclectic_otter This year, give her English muffins (@Eclectic_otter) reported

    Watching the Scotland vs Ukraine game I’d forgotten how terrible SD freeview looks. #FirstWorldProblems

  • UKRave TheTruthAboutLife (@UKRave) reported

    @PeterTatchell Oooh, poor old you. How about go out and get some fresh air you pathetic windbag. Or as I guess you have Freeview/Sky/BT/Apple TV/Netflix/Amazon Prime you’re just being a dramatic drama Queen. And we only care about one Queen today

  • d2leeds JT (@d2leeds) reported from Threlkeld, England

    @AlStewartOBE @GBNEWS Shame I missed your broadcast. Sadly I’m not at home and the Airbnb tv doesn’t have freeview. Internet also too poor to stream.

  • vnlbeans VNLbeans (@vnlbeans) reported

    @Chr1stop4 @skytv Yep. My Sky Q isn’t working. Been with 20+ years. Tried to phone 3 times now 55 min wait, 40 min wait and 45 mins tonight. It’s unacceptable. Next call will be to cancel, Freeview, Disney and Netflix will be fine for me since they can’t be bothered.

  • Black81855312 Black (@Black81855312) reported

    @PeterTatchell Talk sense man Last time I checked I had over 100 channels on Freeview , quite sure the majority of these never showed anything of today's proceedings

  • SPQPR1 Steve patrick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@SPQPR1) reported

    @Miles28x No. Its a **** way to record. Pay a little extra for freeview box and it's like recording on sky box.

  • LaurenHaigh96 Lauren Haigh (@LaurenHaigh96) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Freeview on my TV has not been working properly since start of 2022. Constant buffering etc on BBC, itv, all4, YouTube etc (some channels don't work at all) but works fine on normal channels/ xbox app on same tv. Tried following support on webiste (retuning etc).

  • StartledJesus Startled Jesus (@StartledJesus) reported

    @ukdtt I won't have any channels left shortly. Now down to 120+ from 140+ #freeview (oldish LG Smart TV)
