    I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

  • 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

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @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

    @leeboy1886 Hi Lee, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • AndyGraysdouble Robert Martin (@AndyGraysdouble) reported

    @Honeythedog1 A contract is a contract, if they ramp the price up you can presumably repudiate it and go else where, like NOW, or be like me. I‘ll never take a SKY package. Freeview ( aka Cooncil telly +) , Amazon Prime and Netflix might be a decent low cost bet.

  • CaptainHippo Chris Cain (@CaptainHippo) reported

    Hi @davechannel @arqiva. Trying to watch Room 101 on Freeview and screen keeps going black at random intervals. Lasts about a second. Other channels are fine, including others on the ARQA mux. So would seem to be Dave specific issue.

  • BurnipG Geoff Burnip (@BurnipG) reported

    @itvhubhelp ITV hub will not load on Freeview Play on my Panasonic tv or Humax pvr, is this just double bad luck? Not a smart move from itv as there must be many viewers like me. Will a different pvr play through my tv, if so which one.

  • UKTVPlayHelp UKTV Play Help (@UKTVPlayHelp) reported

    @TonyB2929 Hello Tony, Do you have a screenshot of the issue (or a video) so we can better understand what's going on? What model is your Samsung TV? Are you using Freeview or any other service to watch our content? Thanks!

  • daisies999 daisies999 (@daisies999) reported

    Anyone else having problems getting BBC channels on Freeview today? Glasgow southside

  • atrichoke Hugo Tyson (@atrichoke) reported

    @JANUSZCZAK It's free live on Freeview. But you have to find it and record it at the time: there is no catch-up service like iPlayer &c. That's the PITA that makes me with much regret miss most of your stuff. No replay.
