  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

    @FreeviewAdvice we have lost the majority of freeview channels having retuned a few times. Used the availability checker which says channels should be available, can you help? Thanks

  • m7leicauser Andy Barton (@m7leicauser) reported from Comberbach, England

    @FreeviewTV Thanks to Dan at Freeview, the aerial-out retune x2 seems to have cured the problem. 👍

  • annmurphy_wigan Ann Murphy (@annmurphy_wigan) reported from Wigan, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

  • atrichoke Hugo Tyson (@atrichoke) reported

    @JANUSZCZAK It's free live on Freeview. But you have to find it and record it at the time: there is no catch-up service like iPlayer &c. That's the PITA that makes me with much regret miss most of your stuff. No replay.

  • MediaBoyUK Media Boy UK (@MediaBoyUK) reported

    1/3 BBC Scotland HD which broadcast every evening from 7pm on Freeview, moves to channel 106. BBC Four HD, which the BBC is planning to close in 2024, is moved down to channel 108. The move is due to complete around midday on December 14th. Viewers may need to rescan their TV.

  • CaptainHippo Chris Cain (@CaptainHippo) reported

    Hi @davechannel @arqiva. Trying to watch Room 101 on Freeview and screen keeps going black at random intervals. Lasts about a second. Other channels are fine, including others on the ARQA mux. So would seem to be Dave specific issue.

  • SJKSalisbury Steven (with a ph) (@SJKSalisbury) reported

    Every UK Hotel: Wi-Fi, gym, spa, swimming pool, six randomly selected Freeview channels including one you've never heard of and will never see again, on site car-parking...

  • BigDog250862 Stephen (@BigDog250862) reported

    @danwootton Dan, I want to watch but it seems my Freeview signal is too weak on the GB News channel and no pictures appear. Only on that Channel. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • FrankSt34499711 Frank Stephens (@FrankSt34499711) reported

    @DavidCockerham Cannot help you David sorry My TV only has freeview built in

  • AndyGraysdouble Robert Martin (@AndyGraysdouble) reported

    @Honeythedog1 A contract is a contract, if they ramp the price up you can presumably repudiate it and go else where, like NOW, or be like me. I‘ll never take a SKY package. Freeview ( aka Cooncil telly +) , Amazon Prime and Netflix might be a decent low cost bet.

  • kateflett Kathryn Flett (@kateflett) reported

    SO HAPPY that on my tv ITV Freeview is currently in a pixellated meltdown and the telly won’t support live tv on the ITVX app… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇫🇷@ITV @ITVX 🤯

  • Stroudgreenguy J. Alfred Prufrock (@Stroudgreenguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @Channel4 Hello. Can I watch Channel 4 *live* through the All 4 app on smart TV? All I see is catchup. I would like to watch CH 4 news every night but my aerial is broken, no Freeview. Please advise.

  • Mark56623345 mark Hughes (@Mark56623345) reported

    @a516digital I personally am happy for an ip future, if and when it finally takes off. But i think the bbc might be too ambitious for 2030. Freeview is a good service where you can get it.
