    @jonnyt78 Not at all. Was supposed to be awful except from some certain sections of the media. Some of the games were of freeview over here as well, I didn’t have a clue

  • flowergirl_lon Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings (@flowergirl_lon) reported from Croydon, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • coulson3000 Hank Moody (@coulson3000) reported from Kensington, England

    I will never have normal freeview tv

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    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?

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @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.

  • u0421793 Ian K Tindale (@u0421793) reported from East Ham, England

    The Good, the Bad and The Ugly is just starting now on Paramount network freeview 32

    All those **** channels on Freeview and it's BBC News HD that gets the chop 🤔

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    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

  • Scare158Steve Scarebear (@Scare158Steve) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @bt_uk Thanks for the help. I spoke to freeview, tried a few things which didn't work but i contacted your TV help and after doing a few basic things somehow it appears to be working now! Very Strange. Tks

    @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?

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @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

  • muswell_boy Ian Worrell (@muswell_boy) reported

    @redskyatnight Actually supporting your point. Not least in 1936 launching the first TV service was the equivalent of launching/owning the whole Internet v a poky little Freeview/YouTube clipshow you could do on an iPhone

  • robmacca1976 Rob Mac (@robmacca1976) reported

    @GBNewsFails You’ve made my week! With Freeview not working and lack of time it’s brilliant kind people are providing me with the best of the worst!

  • ___henno___ henry (@___henno___) reported

    @_Nev20x basically i don’t have a freeview signal cable thing so i watch everything on my ps4. iplayer is fine but i can’t get itvhub to work so unable to watch any games on itv

  • i3lade4life Karl Roberts (@i3lade4life) reported

    Only game I'm bothered about and ITV decides to crap out on Freeview

  • Skinnie_Pete New Pic (@Skinnie_Pete) reported

    @GBNEWS can't the signal on #freeview

  • OllyBacon Olly Bacon (@OllyBacon) reported

    @Vitt2TsNoC Definitely refuse to pay the bill for any period you can't use the service. I know that's no help for now. Is there anyway you can still get freeview on your tv?

  • allybalder alan watson (@allybalder) reported

    @mgtruth Had Sky Q for yonks - never a prob - except when weather bad to the south east - switch to freeview

  • FridayMinus My name is Matt (maybe) (@FridayMinus) reported

    @WotNot5 @GBNewsFails I've just been Googling about it - apparently they're having some problems on Freeview even after retuning (which is what I did). Everything about GB News just oozes high quality.

  • YoungOneUK AndyYoung (@YoungOneUK) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @Jamesmack007 @GBNEWS It's definitely not the signal as others watching this channel on Freeview who I have spoken to on the internet around the UK are having the same problem with this channel across multiple regions. Every other channel on Freeview including HD is perfect.

  • BORSON_ 🅱️orson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@BORSON_) reported

    @ElRaynerista There is a saying "there is no such thing as bad publicity" Many, will have never heard of GB news (Sky 115, Freeview 236), before the negative publicity but I guarantee a high amount who didn't know may have looked for it, which is great news for a fledgling channel.
