@channel5_tv is the worst for catch up tv via your app or freeview. Just can’t find programmes sometimes. Trying to find Sally Lindsays posh sleepover. C4, itv and BBC never ever have a problem with. I give up with C5

On the Freeview “REALLY” channel at 9pm, “Who Killed Jeffery Epstein?”. I’ve never seen it before, but I bet the answers not Jeffrey Epstein.

Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

@tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

@TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

@FreeviewAdvice We have had 3 days of rubbish reception from Suttoncoldfield transmitter. Freeview is unwatchable. If it was London there would be rioting on the streets a Boris would be on the TV to assure us that he would personally fix it as soon as his party ended.

@FreeviewTV so it’s down yet again. It’s 2021, can we really not have a signal when the air pressure is high? Try dealing with someone with Dementia who can’t use iPlayer etc. I’m bloody fuming. We didn’t have this problem with analogue TV. It’s a **** show. #freeview

@FreeviewAdvice My Freeview channels were broken up so I tried to retune, and only South TV channels came up & only BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and the children's BBC channels. So I tried retuning again and I can find not ONE single channel. Please help me. Thanks

@SkyUK It is 💩. Picture isn’t that good. Has loads less channels than Sky Q. Cannot record. Streams stuff on the usual platforms. No Freeview unless the wifi drops. It is awful.

@FreeviewTV Would love to watch, but Freeview seems to be down - surely you're not ignoring the fact that the service has been bad all week and has completely given up today. Or am I just imagining a no signal message on every channel?

Just run a search on @FreeviewTV website, claims channel not available in my area? So how have I been watching it for months with an 80% signal strength? Why is the picture breaking up with an 80% signal? #freeview
