  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @mrgrahamreed @BBCiPlayer I think I only saw season 1 on Sky 3 on Freeview. Never saw the rest of it. The classic '70s Battlestar got shown on BBC 2, in the '90s.

  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • genders_jason Jason Genders (@genders_jason) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @FreeviewAdvice Thanks for the reply George, much appreciated. Guess im.gonna have to go direct and some questions then...! Admittedly I thought it was your owners whose name I forget. Sadly Freeview is becoming a continually more stifled service, it's a shame.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview were right about one thing. It was a webpage called: is the service down.

  • FWestfield Francis Westfield (@FWestfield) reported

    Freeview, on their webpage, state they were having issues since 6am today. No , it started at 4.20pm GMT yesterday. My watching of tennis at Queens had just started. Ryan had just started playing. Had to catch up with data only on my phone.

  • Andrew1970Robin Andrew Robinson (@Andrew1970Robin) reported

    @ChannelboxTV Hello on searching Channelbox Freeview 271 it was showing a bug the loading bar was motionless as if frozen please fix this problem as soon as possible. Thank-you.

  • SimonVisitor Simon Bridger (@SimonVisitor) reported

    It's been announced the BBC News HD Channel will dissappear from freeview, however the service will broadcast in SD only on channel 231. This is happening due to the sale of COM7 to EE for their 5G network. I'm none to happy about this, putting it mildly.

  • ELLTRON3000 ell (@ELLTRON3000) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice hey! i haven't been able to get freeview channels through my bt youview box for c. 3 months. i've followed all the steps on your website including all the tuning steps. please help! i'm E14 7DJ.

  • I_Am_Artemis Artemis Aye. (@I_Am_Artemis) reported

    Aww man I've lost the freeview signal on the TV and I don't know why 😭

  • 6502nerd 6502 nerd (@6502nerd) reported

    Just turned over to Forces TV on Freeview to see a message that it ends on the 30th of June.. where am I going to get my Blake's 7 fix now (I don't have Sky or Virgin) As EE are getting the spectrum, I had better be getting better signal around here at least!

  • VonPhartdangler Von Phartdangler (@VonPhartdangler) reported

    @benji_writer @FutureDarren Hahaha, an oldie but a goldie. I watch a lot of 80s pop vids on Freeview. But why are they often such bad quality? And the aspect ratios off?

  • rsmck Ross McKillop  (@rsmck) reported

    Big mistake to remove @BBCNews HD from Freeview. Hotels, airline lounges, foyers etc where BBC has prevailed for years will switch to another news service rather than retrofit freesat or IP based solutions just to keep the same channel :(
