    @ThisDave @FergusCraig Have one! Still have a problem with sky coming through it ( which is how we get our tv as the freeview signal is sh**t!

  • lnfinite_loop 𝓲𝓷𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓽𝓮 💙 (@lnfinite_loop) reported

    @EmmaKennedy @itv2 new digital freeview signal is crap in comparison to how it used to be transmitted...

  • NOWHelpTeam NOW Help Team (@NOWHelpTeam) reported

    @SarahJChadwick This would be under freeview, NOW APP does not have bbc 1 2 3 or 4 or ITV channels live unfortunately we never did, the APPS are free to download on our devices.

    @EmmanuelAnyiamO Dreading it. I'm watching this on iPlayer as my Freeview signal keeps going out in high pressure.

  • christyevans Christy Evans (@christyevans) reported

    @DANHUDSON I have a tv but only stream. Signal is better than freeview

  • peteprodge Pete Prodge (@peteprodge) reported

    @NoSpinZone_ @QuidVeritas A reach in a week of just a million is incredibly bad for a channel on Freeview, satellite and cable. No wonder Paw Patrol IN WELSH gets an audience over five times their size!

    @EmmaKennedy A tip if you're still finding itv2 signal dodgy on your Sky box, assuming the TV you're watching on has digital freeview built-in you can always switch to viewing itv2 on freeview, the signal source would be different. Need an aerial of course & a (re)tuned TV, & select DTV input

    @LewisFeilder @GBNEWS @GBNfans Like most people here have said. GBNews is EVERYWHERE.....get the app on your phone.....All TVs have freeview just tap 236 on the remote... Google on computer and just scroll down until you see "watch live" .

    @dramachannel Yes, but to no avail. It's the dreadful Freeview/DAB signal in my area. Trying to listen to digital radio is just as frustrating and virtually impossible too.

    @IanDunt Having a decent Freeview roof aerial & amplifier really does help. The ITV HD channel is an improvement. I have epic internet & their streaming quality is horrifically bad; just watched the Denmark game I missed yesterday it’s garbage!
