    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

    @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

    GB News look and sound, which has just gone live on Freeview and YouView channels 236. If you can’t see it there, you may need to retune your TV. This guide will help.

  • Cerb32 Cerb32 (@Cerb32) reported

    @GBNEWS Freeview reception is very poor at the moment. Hope you can boost your signal so I can watch a decent news channel.

  • SuffolkRoyal SuffolkRoyal (@SuffolkRoyal) reported

    @WinterfellT Whatever anyone’s views of the bbc, no one should have to pay the corporation a compulsory tax for the right to watch live tv, especially live tv on non bbc channels. It’s time for the bbc to become either a commercial freeview, or subscription, service.

  • Lost_In_Films_ LostInFilms🎬 (@Lost_In_Films_) reported

    @TalkingPicsTV Only been watching about 4/5 years since we got Freesat we had terrible Freeview reception, we could only get about 8 channels & Talking Pictures wasn't one of them 😭

  • BarbaraRowley7 Barbara Rowley (@BarbaraRowley7) reported

    @bagga2007 Oh no! Do you have devices for streaming and an internet connection that’ll support it? The Freeview channels all have free apps to watch their programs. They should tide you over until you replace the TV.

  • kirstyfiona1 kirsty fiona (@kirstyfiona1) reported

    before i moved away a few weeks ago, i asked my grandad if he could fix my tv remote. since then, he’s done that, and also fixed my aerial, tv stand, and freeview without me even mentioning .. john why are u the kindest soul i know pls stop before i CRY

  • briavelsjon Jon Pitts (@briavelsjon) reported

    @softwarescotty (Original reply now corrected). That's fair enough, and unfortunate for sure. But surely if Freeview doesn't cover you, the solution might be Freesat instead?

  • CEEGEE12 Carole Geddes (@CEEGEE12) reported

    @Oldbird19 We don't have the full service for freeview in my area so can't check with anyone locally

  • eugenespeed2 Barry Wilson (@eugenespeed2) reported

    Can you get battery powered freeview TVs? I don't mean rechargeable batteries, but ones where you stick a few AAs in? I had an analogue one but never seen a digital version. I'm not getting much luck with Google. All I'm finding is plug or rechargable powered.
