    @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

    @greatmoviesuk I’ve been watching GreatMovies Christmas since it launched for this year and it’s just disappeared mid-movie this evening. It returned but with a split screen. Unplugged tv & still had the issue so I auto retuned & now channels 51 AND 49 don’t exist on my freeview!

  • 2_Wheeled_Wolf @2_Wheeled_Wolf 🇪🇺 (@2_Wheeled_Wolf) reported

    @RantyHighwayman Channel 5 likes spreading hate & misinformation & that **** show is allowed to continue when Wright left. Why I no longer watch Ch5 & removed from my Freeview box after their **** attack on cycling. #ScourgeOfTheTvChannels

    @StephenMangan @8twinge @SkyArts But you can't get Freeview on a laptop... (We don't have a tv signal here so have to stream everything)

  • brianwinteruk Brian Winter (@brianwinteruk) reported from Hipswell, England

    @dannysavage Not everywhere. Parts of Ripon, Thirsk and Harrogate still have very little or no signal. Freeview and Arqiva are on the case. Temporary relay being planned in next 14 days.

  • MadenRon Ron Maden (@MadenRon) reported

    @rahim94 I don't know anyone with Netflix, Amazon or any streaming service. They're either unhappy with freeview or slightly happy with freesat and their catchup services!

  • CllrGaryMalcolm Cllr Gary Malcolm 🔶️🌈 (@CllrGaryMalcolm) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice Food Network (channel 42) has mysteriously disappeared from my TV. Tried retuning and still won't reappear. Is this a Freeview issue/ do I just have to be patient and wait? Thank you.
