  • 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

    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!

  • JennyCo26009017 Jenny Cooper (@JennyCo26009017) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice No freeview signals in Swindon SN3 area, Is the signal down?

  • PhillWatson1970 Phil Watson Esq. #FBPE 🇨🇭🇪🇺 (@PhillWatson1970) reported

    @KarenStopHate @WasOnceLoved This is 2021 not 1979. For benefits you need a mobile phone and an online account. They don’t go to the job centre to sign on anymore. All TVs today are flat screens and as analogue signal has been switched off you need at least Freeview. This a classic case of a false analogy

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    With a rising British star it's important her finals are accessible free to air. Eurosport may use Quest for them, but they're likely to lose their HD channel soon thanks to slow and regressive progress on switching Freeview to HD.

  • pageturner_92 Emma✨ (@pageturner_92) reported

    When our TV was installed the guy said we didn't need to worry about the satellite signal dropping when the weather was bad because the freeview would easily run through the Sky. Well guess what, it is absolutely pouring down with rain and we've lost all signal!

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @Ashcroft46 Hi, Rick. If you're still not getting Freeview channels, try an automatic retune on your TV, if you haven't done so yet. If that doesn't work, please DM us your postcode and house name/house number so we can check your predicted coverage.

  • russ_nicol Russ Nicol 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@russ_nicol) reported

    @Penelop11785074 @OwenJones84 @GBNEWS Unfair to judge on a YT clip of anything. Shame your freeview signal is so poor. You can download the GBNews app onto your phone however and watch it live there.

  • JamiePickles14 Jamie Pickles (@JamiePickles14) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice The problem I am having Is that my New Television Is a Hisense Model which won’t let receive the Freeview even though a new Mast has been put up In Thirsk

  • ParmaleeWes WesParmalee (@ParmaleeWes) reported

    @arqiva To anyone commenting here. To date, I have not seen Arqiva reply here. It may be that they reply by DM, but I'm really not convinced. The Freeview answers read like 'how long is a piece of string'. A few MPs are pushing the issue.

  • jonie1303 jonie1303 #NHSLove💙 #corbynwasright #gtto (@jonie1303) reported

    @DavidofNotting1 @JujuliaGrace @EveryDoctorUK I have only seen clips of the awful #gbeebies on Twitter, I deleted the channel as soon as it popped up on Freeview and Freesat.

  • mrledders ian leadbetter (@mrledders) reported

    @Dolly_Darren Ok. Mine did the same to me. I switched it off at the mains (along with the Freeview box), promised never to watch ITV3 again, left it for about an hour and when I switched it back on it came back to life. Sadly, not designed to last now!
