    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!

    @NetflixUK as gone shit pay to see old flims that you get free on Freeview so what's the point 👊👊👊👊👊

  • 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

    @Ephemeral_Goods @BBCNews Freeview News channel order of preference looks like AlJaz > Sky > RT > BBC > GB these days, wtf

  • PoppyDog08 Al (@PoppyDog08) reported

    @mark_simpson @jamesrhamilton @floongle Sorry to interrupt, but I was scratching my head for ages when I got my Samsung 4K TV. Apparently they reckon it's a feature for "upscaling" SD pictures on the built-in Freeview tuner.,without realising it makes some SD channels look even more bad than they normally are.

  • reg_rover Cyril Henry (@reg_rover) reported

    @GBNEWS Can not receive GBNEWS on Freeview 236, neither can several friends and neighbours ? What are we doing wrong ? Please tweet back any info that will help. Thank you.

  • sr4th joey--T-- (@sr4th) reported

    @MediaGuido Do a Retune of your Freeview which should fix that problem , Freeview 236 GB News

  • dan_fuzz Dan Fuzz (@dan_fuzz) reported

    @DetroitBORG Last time I checked, there’s no way to watch live tv channels? Seems like a missed opportunity to get people using Apple TV. Every Freeview PVR box I’ve had has been crap, the Virgin / TiVo box was good - just too expensive.

    @ChasCroker Hi Chas, Please go into the Settings of the Freeview App and select Background Refresh to be activated. If this does not resolve the issue you may have to uninstall the app and reinstall. If it is not the correct regional news for BBC please turn on location services.

  • debbiie1202 Debbie Lutman (@debbiie1202) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice no Freeview signal at all since lightning strike on nearby house Monday 28/6/21 at 2115 hrs RH20 1JQ any advice welcome. Retune does nothing to help.

  • Bill_Hogarth William Hogarth (@Bill_Hogarth) reported

    @gbnews Have you lowered the bit rate on your Freeview channel? It's stuttering and the lighting is also very poor. What on earth is going on? It's worse than a Skype call.

    @The_Crust @grayheath56 @itvhub France v Switzerland live, I can’t get itv terrestrial/freeview signal here. ITV hub is truly awful but needs must.
