  • 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

    @itvnews I complained about that awful erectile disfunction advert that appears on some Freeview channels, sometimes in the day & at teatimes, when kids will be watching & they didn't do anything! They said it was fine. It's not nice when young grandkids ask what erectile disfunction is!

    @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…

    @virtualash tell your boys your TV quality is poor on Freeview. Whale's head will not look fuzzy. This can't be allowed to happen.

    @petew2804 Hi Peter, Whether you've got a Smart Box with Freeview or a Smart Box with 4K and Voice Search, you'll find the reset button on the bottom of your Box. For a factory reset, hold the button down for about 6 seconds.

    @FreeviewAdvice Who the hell came up with this bxxxdy Freeview signal idea. Whoever wants his/her IQ tested. I am watching a program on 5USA and then nothing. They must have taken all of a week to test it. BBC1-100%, 5USA-0%. Do I have to pray for rain? (Low pressure system).

  • DOPreston Duke of Preston🇬🇧🇲🇹🇸🇲🇨🇭🇷🇴🇮🇪 (@DOPreston) reported

    @derrickca @virginmedia I don’t have either. I Just have the streaming sites and Freeview and Broadband provided separately. They don’t care about your custom. If they did they’d resolve the problems that have been ongoing for 15 years!

  • RosalynConnors Ros Connors (@RosalynConnors) reported

    Oh not again! Brighton Festival on @bbcsoutheast Yesterday it was Redhill in the Home Counties @BBCLondonNews area. For God's Sake please let's be rid of this so-called "South-East" news service from the Bluebell Hill Freeview mast with its constant references to Brighton.

  • joejglenton Glenton Baptiste (@joejglenton) reported

    Also, if grandad would not tell you... that leaves **** documentaries on Freeview and Rod Liddle to inform the view that WW2 was a slightly aggressive camping trip and not a apocalyptic global death storm of fascist hatred which killed millions of people.

  • Th0ma5LFC Thomas Moore🔞 (@Th0ma5LFC) reported

    @roomorgue Roo Wotever you do don’t watch really channel on freeview they show animal rescues by Houston animal rescue but if joes dog had been brought there dog would be goodnight Vienna all they seem to do if it’s behavioural probs put the dog to sleep not even try to help it 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • Page_888 Matthew H (@Page_888) reported

    @BbcBring @russty_russ @journeymaxx You're welcome. The signal is quite random here on the Wirral. Some days S4C will come through very well on Freeview, other days not at all! After the initial switchover viewers across the North West were getting signals from Wales but not the North West!

  • ROBERT12772279 ROBERT GRIFFITHS (@ROBERT12772279) reported

    @freeview no signal Sutton Coldfield transmitter

  • Kewjonrichard wife seeker (@Kewjonrichard) reported

    @FreeviewTV @JimIrvineUK Following is email to sky news:Like hundreds in Swindon and others in UK at 2130 we lost freeview signal  we just are left with screen saying no signal there is no news or update with freeview  I attempted to retune and programs break up till you get no signal messege.

  • ttandfinn Thru Thick & Finn (@ttandfinn) reported

    @somefinnspecial So I've checked out Sky Arts in the UK. If u are a Sky customer you can download or watch back the CH doc. Keep your eyes peeled for a repeat on freeview. Certainly nothing I can see in next 7 days 🧐
