    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

    @Frasier67Blank @mat8iou @AvaSantina I'd have guessed you could require an encryption key to demux it, but never dug that deep! My only geeky tech involvement was due to national radio controllers complaining about the Freeview graphic colour palette because it wasn’t absolutely compliant with their branding 🙄

    @ragnar23395466 @SkyNews So what are the poor people going to watch? Freeview? I guess they can't afford Sky, Netflix or Amazon either then not to mention the output of new content on the two streaming services would be tiny in comparison with the BBC.

    @rossaverde @BBCTees @amy_oakden The BBC applies for grants to help fund its research into broadcasting technology that has contributed to developments such as Freeview and DAB digital radio. In 2017-18 it received a grant from the EU of €1,282,331 (£1,145,572). source=BBC ... do keep up

    @StapletonAileen Channel 4 is down online, via the app and on Freeview. I don't think it's got anything to do with @virginhelp

    @virginmedia no error codes. like I said our actual virgin box is fine, but any Freeview box or TV is either saying no signal or simply glitching both visually and audibly. we believe it's an aerial issue perhaps and we know it happened last Monday because that's when shows stopped recording.

    @helensclegel Not on Netflix, but Great TV (Freeview 50) has that kind of stuff, plus US done-to-deaths such as Murder, She Wrote. As someone with mobility issues, with a partner who has spent over a year recovering after a serious accident, I know about harmless crap TV.

    @FreeviewAdvice I was watching Challenge TV on Thursday evening on my TV with built-in Freeview. When I went to watch the same channel yesterday, a message “service is not running” appeared. Why has it been withdrawn without notice?

    @SatonmyButt @freesat_tv I pay 2.49 a month to remove ITV adverts. My Tv signal doesn’t work well enough for freeview anymore. It’s well worth it! Plus there is UKTV app with drama yesterday and Dave freeview channels (free but adverts)
