    @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

    @orbette Even the slightest wind caused issues with our digital freeview signal (which living on coast made it permanently unwatchable). Most of yer live tv should still be watchable on iPlayer, ITVHub, All4 etc. though.

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @NYorksPolice This is obviously a hang over from the Bilsdale transmitter problems. As far as I am aware, Harrogate has good Freeview coverage now. If not from Bilsdale, then from one of two temporary relays set up by Arqiva.

  • Outside_Margina Outside The Marginals (@Outside_Margina) reported

    How many channels does #C4 have on Freeview? Why can't they run their flagship news program (part of their Public Service) on time on the flagship channel? #c4news

  • curlyjimsam Jim the Jim (@curlyjimsam) reported

    @RealFloppyLion we were never able to pick up Channel Five on terrestrial, so we had four channels right up until we got Freeview

  • GEORDIEJOHN1982 NUFC1892 (@GEORDIEJOHN1982) reported

    @InspireAndStyle @FreeviewAdvice Hi Karen, I had the same problem and I done a software update on my TV and reset the TV to default again after the update and it worked. You may also need to update the freeview app from your TV store (android play store) or LG store for example.

  • geordieal1967 Geordie Al (@geordieal1967) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Hi guys, had Sky Q installed on Monday. Main TV is fine however have no Freeview reception on any other television in the house Please help

  • 100voicess Lauren Towers (@100voicess) reported

    @virginmedia All checked no issues that I can find...far worse if I'm trying to watch channels not on freeview

  • JulieSmith2001 Julie Smith (@JulieSmith2001) reported

    @MixedRaceSpur @Forces_TV I’ve got a Freeview box which I can record on I can get it through that but the signal is breaking up with the weather, always happens. I tried to get it through the normal TV aerial but the channel wasn’t available & it should be. Retuned the TV now I’ve lost more channels!

  • chrisandmarkuk ❄️❄️❄️ Chris ❄️❄️❄️ (@chrisandmarkuk) reported

    @MarinaHyde I can’t believe this happened. Horrendous for those people involved but as a bystander it’s like a terrible plot for a mini series you see on the Freeview ‘drama’ channels. Absolute madness.

  • positiv07652695 positive vibes 💚💙 (@positiv07652695) reported

    @LizahatesTories They said they could offer more for the same money but wouldn’t/couldn’t bring the price down. We’ve all got data on our phone so the other option would be freeview but it’s so limited. Mustn’t grumble if we want the tv and broadband.
