    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

  • 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

  • Smoothste21 Smoothste2 (@Smoothste21) reported from Sale, England

  • Northern_Steve Steve, just Steve (@Northern_Steve) reported from Manchester, England

    @mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

  • thelobsterboy Paul Smith (@thelobsterboy) reported from Manchester, England

    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!

  • LaurenceBraith1 Laurence Braithwaite (@LaurenceBraith1) reported

    Anyone else finding that their #Freeview signal has substantially weakened 🤔 Found recently that terrestrial channels are inexplicably disappearing from our smart TV. Not sure if they've weakened the signal to save energy. We're in South Birmingham.

  • 3Legs4Wheels 3Legs4Wheels (@3Legs4Wheels) reported

    @alexstanger1993 @C4Sport The best/worst one was a Freeview retune that took ITV4 off terrestrial TV over here so people actually struggle to watch the TT

  • willmill82 🍢🥙will🥙🍢 (@willmill82) reported

    @ben_quick With Sky Glass, if you cancel the subscription there's a freeview tuner so it'll work... But yeah, understand the hesitancy there

  • ProperChelsPete Peter H (@ProperChelsPete) reported

    @BlueTinted_LB @sidcelery @grahamefendle HD channels on Freeview usually better than equivalent on Freesat as there’s no compression. (I always switch from satellite to freeview to watch stuff on bbc for this reason) *signal can degrade so depends on distance from transmitter and other disclaimers.

  • tommy210254 Thomas Hamilton IV (@tommy210254) reported

    @darrengrimes_ @ReasonedUK Still can't find this "TV Channel" on freeview. Do I need to retune? Could someone from Tufton St help me out financially?

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie 🇺🇦 (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Frankly Freeview has been run like our train network with us now still predominantly stuck in SD and closing HD muxes whilst the rest of the world is moving on to 4K.

  • rainbow7uk rainbow7uk (@rainbow7uk) reported

    @DorsetCouple @desertcactus100 @BBCOne Watch UK freeview channel 66. Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Evangelical Christian Channel.

  • TheVietGwent GJPowell (@TheVietGwent) reported

    @MediaBoyUK GB News on Freeview 236 & Murdoch's new Talk TV on Freeview 237 from 25 April would probably help both channels...? 🤔

  • NotreRene Our René (El Dios) (@NotreRene) reported

    @ciscokid1690ao1 @SkySports There are. But that would then involve watching something transmitted by Our Sly. I used to pay £90 a month for what was essentially Freeview. Cancelled it. Never looked back.

  • sjmawhinney Stephen Mawhinney (@sjmawhinney) reported

    @edmorrish @jonholmes1 @IanDunt I don't know how it would work but if you've paid the licence fee you should be able to access BBC TV shows however you want. Freeview, Sky, Virgin whatever. Youtube is a little more complicated but it's annoying BBC TV catch-up doesn't work properly on Sky.
