  • robinjuste Robin Juste Emery (@robinjuste) reported from Gillingham, England

    Fog risk and disruption to TV and radio transmissions. Expect some lost Freeview or low signal channels on some mornings next week! #KentWeather @AffinityDJ @AffinityKent

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @Complyorcry @Back_Two_Mee To @TalkTalk they are okay but the broadband is not a good as VM but it's okay; it cut the monthly bill in half. I have since dropped their tv service and bought a freeview recorder. Monthly bill for broadband/phone £38

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Snodland, England

    Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

  • SpirouTheGamer Spirou The Dragon (@SpirouTheGamer) reported

    @bigkite @Prof_Nostalgia @FreeviewAdvice Have you phoned the Freeview Helpline to ask further information? If you don't have internet access to check signal transmissions online your best route is to phone 03456 50 50 50. Mon - Fri, 9am to 5pm. Sadly now the soonest you can call is Monday.

  • grazzz64 Frances Grasby (@grazzz64) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice I see nobody from Freeview has had the nerve to reply to any of these comments. So much for customer service. Matches the execrable customer service displayed so far since the service went off.

    @pandorasrockbox Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview reception. So we can look into this further can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • ItsPreeceyHere Leigh Preece (@ItsPreeceyHere) reported

    @tideswellman @BTCare I had Youview for about six months. Ditched it and never looked back. Used Freesat and Freeview since + Firestick for catchup services. All free and fine.

  • gildy61 Random Jottings of Gildersleeve (@gildy61) reported

    Hmmm...Boom Radio is struggling again today 😟but it could still be Bilsdale transmitter related issues. I looked at Freeview TV for the first time since the fire last night. Did a scan. Nothing!

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Viewers able to receive the temporary Freeview service from Eston Nab in Redcar, Hartlepool and area, a reminder this only carries the main Public Service Broadcasters, so you won't get as many channels as you did directly from #Bilsdale.

  • MsAmiiEvlynB Amii not Amy (@MsAmiiEvlynB) reported

    Anyone having #Freeview issues?

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Anyone with a satellite receiver, including Sky/Freesat (if you know how to manually tune it) can access these broadcasts. Your receiver will need to support HbbTV 2.0 to see the accessible Freeview guide. @cleanfeed_ttvr @tvlive
