  • AddingRandomWit Adam Widdrington (@AddingRandomWit) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @bigpapablu @itvfootball I don’t have a sky or freeview box! I stream everything and have very good internet so it’s never an issue haha

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @Discovery Don't know if you can help but i'm in the UK & all of a sudden cannot get any of your channels on freeview. Quest, Food Network etc. It just says channel no longer exists. Tried updating channels, scanning for channels etc to no avail. Can you advise?

  • Brekkietweets Brekkie (@Brekkietweets) reported

    Obviously today they'd be issues anyway but generally speaking finding Freeview HD muxes far less resiliant than they used to be. As much as I think a switch to an HD/T2 only platform is long overdue I guess there are advantages to having the SD backup for the main chanenls.

    Typical. Freeview down, so I can't get any TV whatsoever. Just HAD to be right before The Joy Of Painting which is the highlight of my day. Proper cheesed me off, that.

    @NoContextBrits Im old but have never had Sky. Only freeview

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    @smurph25 @cleanfeed_ttvr Until earlier on, the slot was showing a Saorview information video. 544x576 SD, same resolution as Sky News on Freeview.

  • retrofan1980 Mark Boreham (@retrofan1980) reported

    Considering ditching Freeview and moving to Freesat. I live in an area where we only get about 70% of channels whilst 20 miles away I'd get the full service. Also at times the Freeview signal is getting bad.

  • 1945Dunn marianne dunn (@1945Dunn) reported

    @Van7212 I actually cancelled everything as I hardly watched-got netflix and amazon and am now down to Freeview-haven't missed owt.....

  • missmint charliebrown (@missmint) reported from Carryduff, Northern Ireland

    @LGUKCare @LGUK I am unable to get any freeview channels. Other TVs in house working. Did a retune, factory reset and tried in different rooms. Still not picking up freeview. Usually works with no issues at all. Netflix etc working

    Sometimes there is nothing interesting on Freeview which lèads one to Blaze & The Roswell incident. I listen to it from a psychological perspective & hear multiple doubt in the voices of those speaking.

    using a service such as Freeview, Sky (satellite), Freesat (satellite) or Virgin Media (cable). If not, you'll need to set up your main TV to receive Digital TV. How to get Digital TV  If you have a video recorder, DVD recorder or hard-disk recorder (PVR) connected to your main
