    @FreeviewTV The Yesterday channel has disappeared from my TV. To start with the message said "no signal". When I retuned, it said " invalid channel". I've done a Freeview check using my postcode, but that said no outages in my area. Any hints on how to get Yesterday back.

    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. 😎

    @reallychannel @discoveryplusUK Will this be on Really? Because I'm sorry but I'm not paying for another streaming service when these shows are freeview..

    @LQcontactus No problem. Thanks for replying to me. No she doesn't have satellite TV. She just has non satellite freeview, and according to them there are no problems on their end.

    @skindeep1956 @TheNorthernEcho Absolutely agree with you, I've phoned Freeview, TV Licence, even Arqiva, & just constantly getting fobbed off by people who don't have a clue. 8 weeks now with no TV services at all! Bilsdale mast fire caused by overloading a 52 year old transmitter & poor maintenance!

    We had tv wallahi I’m talking freeview we never had cable as they say...

  • PATVOne1 P.A.T.V. Scunthorpe (@PATVOne1) reported

    @Markylad29 @boxhits @4Music Unfortunately for now it isn’t permanent, just a back up as 4Music is still off air following issues at Red Bee Media… but you never know, Box Plus may see the interest in having a second channel on Freeview

    @DrRhys @grim_fandango @russty_russ I don't think I ever saw the Teletext Ltd MHEG5 service as starting it hard crashed our freeview box.

    @anditsinthere_7 @TheEverydayMan_ @SkyUK You're left with a 48-month credit agreement for a TV tied to the Sky OS. You don't even get all Freeview channels or an aerial socket on the back. No satellite tuner so unless you LIVE for Sky and plan to NEVER cancel, it'd be a huge waste of money.
