  • 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

  • roblakedavis Robbie James (@roblakedavis) reported

    @BBCNews Must be awful for you,only having 70 Freeview channels to watch

  • PBfromDevon Paul Bennett (@PBfromDevon) reported

    @BBCNews Oh poor thing diddums! When I was 20 you didn't have "Freeview" or a single channel to watch for nothing. And you went out when you could afford it. That encouraged you to work to better yourself. Zero sympathy.

  • Ike_Laudius Ike_Laudius (@Ike_Laudius) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Good evening, it now appears that ITV 3 and 4, More 4 and Film 4 are not recording subtitles. BBC, ITV are fine. All subtitles work on TV, it is just the Freeview Recorder that has the issue. Regards.

  • ETusty Emma T (@ETusty) reported

    Yet again poor (well no) freeview signal. Seems that yet again much of the south east is suffering from blackouts this evening. OH's annoyed because he's missing the SAS BBC show, although I did point out he could go onto BBC iplayer which should work.

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    Had no Freeview channels whatsoever for 3 hours! I'm fed up with this. Picture and sound has been awful since Thursday. I want a refund on my licence fee!

  • baileys36 Jenny Lewis (@baileys36) reported

    @daryl_millar My freeview signal was awful the last few days and last night I didn't have a signal at all on any channel 😡

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

  • milirn2503 M r (@milirn2503) reported

    @skytv my SkyArts channel has gone from my Freeview! Can I get it back? Also gone sky news please help

  • Beardy359 Stephen Lister 💙 (@Beardy359) reported

    My Youview box has packed up. No major problem, but it was convenient to have all my streaming apps (more or less) in one place with one controller. Am I better off buying an android box or a smart tv with all built in? I have an Amazon stick but no Freeview on it. Thoughts?

  • Millardy73 Millardy 🧔🏽👩🏽‍🦱🚔🚨 (@Millardy73) reported

    Tit, ***** b*llocks and bum gums! Was getting ready to watch QI XL and the bloody TV went poof! Damn you #Freeview. Have they not found a way yet to cope with fog and high pressure! Humph! Internet it is then!
