    @SimonNewton5 @TransAm58 @arqiva ... many areas that are served by relay transmitters (ie. not the main masts - but secondary relays) do not have access to the full range of Freeview channels - the broadcasters decided it is not worth the cost to cover those areas with a primary service, let alone a backup.

    @TalkingPicsTV Getting VERY poor reception in Diss at the moment from Freeview/Tacolneston, but that's likely a transmitter problem, not you.

    It's currently impossible to "stream it like it's TV". Whomever solves this problem, Wins. And, people want Freeview channels as basic. They'll subscribe for my Eva Longoria Movies. 😎

    @FreeviewAU Can you please stop the #Freeview info banner from popping up by itself every 5 minutes on my Sony Bravia X95G? Problem started this week after an update and it's starting to annoy me.

    @My5_tv There are good programmes on Ch 5 but my5 is not user friendly. A Search option for recent progs would help and an alphabet to help navigate browse. And why is My5 not showing current series of Highland Vet & Casualty24/7? (I watch on Freeview/smartTV).

    Dear ITV Put some money in your meter, your channels have gone done down on Freeview.

  • naughtysaintni1 naughtysaintnick (@naughtysaintni1) reported

    @dan63uk Some places don’t have the signal to get all of the freeview channels. When I used to stay in some places in Wales you’d be lucky to get 20 channels, depending where area.

    @danowen79 @LukeCustardtv NOW sent me a questionnaire about this a little while ago. Sounds like a great TV. I especially like the built-in soundbar. But as a pay-lite customer, I wouldn't pay for full Sky. And no Freeview tuner rules me out.

    @cordbusters Its because if you actually look what sky offer now is very poor in view if content , with the streaming apps like discovery plus , disney etc the content on sky is poor and look at what they charge . Mostly re runs of old rubbish , just go freeview
