  • 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.

  • 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.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, 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…

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

  • ITVChannelTV ITV Channel News (@ITVChannelTV) reported

    📺 JERSEY FREEVIEW UPDATE 📺 ITV, C4 and C5 are currently still off-air for around 4,000 homes that receive Freeview from a mast at La Collette. As Channel TV does not operate the transmitter, we're unable to confirm a timescale for when the full service will be restored. (1/2)

  • a516digital Mike (@a516digital) reported

    At launch, BBC and Crown Castle multiplexes could only carry four SD channels each. This was the trade off between a robust signal and capacity. • At the time, Freeview had to use low power as it was shoehorned in around high power analogue broadcasts.

  • johnsouthwales johnsouthwales (@johnsouthwales) reported

    even though a video recorder or a dvd recorder with built in freeview is capable of receiving a TV signal (it has to have a signal to be able to record a programme) using that to playback requires no licence

    @Project4046 Hi Project, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview Reception. So, we can investigate this for you, can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number? Thanks, Dylan

  • enolapycroft enola | saw skz 28.7.19!! (@enolapycroft) reported

    I even tried to accept through advanced settings > freeview settings. I clicked terms and conditions and accept, still won’t accept the terms. Is this a freeview play issue or an issue with the tv?

  • dzonershow The Rosario Shopper-Times (@dzonershow) reported

    @kasey__moore @EntStrategyGuy Freeview & Freesat are anti streaming & free btw besides they’re operating more differently than subchannel networks that mostly only carry classic tv shows. Britain treats TV as a different marketplace & more of a public service than a tech ceo doing charity work in Jackson, MS

  • AnneCardwell4 Anne Cardwell (@AnneCardwell4) reported

    @UKtodayUK I am absolutely disgusted that for months now I've had problems with Freeview. Time it was sorted out ASAP. Trying to watch a film, on, off. Think we should get some compensation from the TV licence.

  • Helio_Spherical Nat (@Helio_Spherical) reported

    @TrippyPip @DreyfusJames QVC TV is a rabbit hole I never wish to go down again lol Thank goodness I no longer have freeview type tv!

    @MarkWai84310597 Hi, Mark. If your Freeview box is stuck on boot even after switching it off and back on again, check your boxes manual to see if there is a reset procedure. Otherwise, you'll need to contact the boxes manufacturer for support on resetting it. Fraser

    @bbcburnsy sounds like the lads heads are remaining positive, even though 0-1 down. Unlike previous gamez... Come on lads you can do this. ( listening on freeview and sound cuts out occasionally).
