    @cutex24 Hello. Thanks for letting us know. It is possible that it is temporary due to weather conditions. Where are you watching from (and via which service, Freeview etc)?

  • EmmaLovelace Emma Lovelace (@EmmaLovelace) reported

    BBC channels are breaking up on Freeview, it really is a poop service. Really not worth the money paying the licence fee for.

    @MarkDob_ Oh really? Suppose Jarrett knows the value of a good TV deal in the UK from Impact’s run on Challenge. Challenge airing in FreeView was a huge help in drawing those big houses for TNA in the UK during the first half of the 2010s

    @SODASam_ @virginmedia You wont miss them Sam. Honestly Virgin are the worst company. So many better ones out there. Its a gift! for landline and internet Zen are superb. Freeview works fine for us.

    @cutex24 Hi. It may be worth a re-tune if you've not tried that already. If you are still having problems it may be worth contacting Freeview themselves: Problems watching Freeview | Freeview

    @paraman31 @DrHoenderkamp Even digital TVs when they need a rescan can cause issues. I help a handful of people out with this task when their freeview tv or box doesn’t auto update…many don’t.

    @sillymidoff Kia ora Ruth! Sorry to hear about this. We're checking in with the team now to check on this! What were you watching on the TVNZ+ app (was it live or a show streaming via TVNZ+?) and did you have the same issues via Freeview or Sky?
