  • 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

  • Juls35R Juls (@Juls35R) reported

    @ifneedsmust @GBNEWS It only happens to me sometimes when they are having technical issues, but I am watching via Virgin, so not sure about freeview etc

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @STARTVUK @HarshAnantNagar @snehajain The good thing is it would have everything on demand eventually. But you can't watch Disney or Fox movies on a big screen anymore because it's all online only which is a bad thing. Disney and Fox still have a BBC and Channel 4 Freeview deal for films but that's 2-5 years behind.

  • dougmcfarlane41 Douglas Mcfarlane (@dougmcfarlane41) reported

    Ah an update from Freeview (two weeks with no TV & Radio now) "the signal will return around the 28th August" the phrase "around the 28th" being key...it was "will return on the 28th"..... So, about the 5th September?

  • RomfordRoger Fraser McMillan ® ❤️💙 (@RomfordRoger) reported

    @CroydonExile1 @MarcWilliams22 I'm listening to it on BBC Radio London on Freeview TV. Couldn't take that Watford ****.

  • jon9522 Jon W (@jon9522) reported

    @benedictrogers @Ofcom I agree but most people have a Sky or BT receiver and never use Freeview.

  • GarethPc1237 Gareth Jones (@GarethPc1237) reported

    Well TV has gone off again. We had BBC and ITV for a few days but that has gone now. Message from Freeview to say the 28th when all was due to back to normal will not happen due to an access issue with the land owner. Will we get a refund on our TV licence? #Bilsdalesbuggered

  • David__Riddell David (@David__Riddell) reported

    @BigBearF1 F me this is actually bloody brilliant. My Grandad has started to lose it. My mrs went round to fix it the other day & he'd pressed the wrong button so it was trying to find freeview. He then did the same again the following day so called out a tv engineer

  • highwaylass Highwaylass (@highwaylass) reported

    It is turning into quite a successful week for “terrible films I love” popping up on niche Freeview channels. Tonight on channel 33 (if I can get it) - Matthew McConaghay vs a dragon that is mainly offscreen for what we can only assume were budget reasons. #reignoffire

    @m_arthur1 Hi Mick, Apologies for the delay in response. We are currently investigating the issue. Could you please DM your postcode to Freeview Advice. Melissa
