    Hope we don't get this warm weather very often.#freeview doesn't work because of the high atmospheric pressure apparently. How am I going to watch #loveisland

  • JoyAnneGarner Joy Garner (@JoyAnneGarner) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone else having issues with Freeview etc today? ST6 area ?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Werrington, England

    Warning, stupid question incoming, does a Freeview tele just simply plug into an old skool aerial?? My mum wants a new TV but doesn’t have cable. I’m assuming so? I’ve had cable since the early 90s so haven’t had to faff on with aerials for 30 odd years !!!

    Imagine how much of a Christmas miracle it would be if BBC3 came back to freeview number 7. I can picture it now, Gavin & Stacey returns and BBC3 makes a comeback. 25/12/19 would go down in history.

    @Channel4 & @channel5_tv with all the problems with your networks going down, no subtitles unavailable to the deaf, why not open a 2nd channel on Freeview with all the same programming at the same time (like the HD channels), but with a Signer and subtitles on screen at all times

  • neilmclaughlin2 neil mclaughlin (@neilmclaughlin2) reported

    @LiamODellUK Well over half of freeview channels never use subtitles, time all channels are required to use them as part of licence

  • vickysharp1 Vicky Sharp (@vickysharp1) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice cheers Freeview. Totally ruined the ending of Pearl Harbour tonight with your weak signal. Sort it out!!

  • AvifaunaLux2 Avi Lux 2 🌸 (@AvifaunaLux2) reported

    @louisebentley10 I've never seen and I missed it if it came up on Freeview. It never seems to air on Freeview now. I don't subscribe to paid services/streaming. I wish whatever channel aired it would show it again.

  • TEOL85 The Evolution Of Life (@TEOL85) reported

    @SkyUK Freeview Play should get Sky Play App with Sky Arts, Challenge, Pick and News the Freeview channels free of charge with the option to further login with your forum password and put your viewing card number in. That converts existing smart TVs into a Sky Glass TV as well.

    I don’t have Netflix so I watched a Poundland version of a series on some **** on some freeview channel. Quid Game was a bit **** tbh

  • Reuben04748504 Reuben (@Reuben04748504) reported

    @ThisisACTV Think loosing the number on channels like sky is doing with sky one does give more impact on streaming service. The numbers ok if Freeview and channel hopping but the future landscape is more streaming so build up change now try out new things before it's too late.

  • shorthandwitch Gill Wray (@shorthandwitch) reported

    @LLLioness1973 Freeview has been awful for quite a few weeks now. I never know if I'm going to be able to watch my favourite programmes or whether they'll be too pixilated

  • rebecca_ryder21 Rebecca Ryder 💙 (@rebecca_ryder21) reported

    I finally figured out how to get sky arts woo. It was pick, I retuned it and then it vanished. You have to do a "network channel scan" if you're on Freeview and it vanishes.

  • notabotnumber Jon (@notabotnumber) reported

    @TheDoctor2058 Not really, got the 5 main channels and a couple more on Freeview, says a bad signal.
