  • Oliver_Wok wok (@Oliver_Wok) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @edgarwright @broccantyzack @itv2 Would make for a brilliant friday/saturday/sunday triple header. Would love to break it down into how many times a year they appear on freeview TV

  • JonnyRoLi JR (@JonnyRoLi) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Fern_McGovern @SIofting @jckhth Nope. You can pay for a better service. Just as you can have Freeview TV, standard channels, most in standard definition but functional, or you can pay more for Netflix/Amazon/etc, Sky or BT with movies and sport in HD. Same principle applies.

    @VAS6323 She's on Freeview, but likes all of that treasure hunter crap. I just daisy chain them all together for her, and she now has 7 "potential tuners" Just like my old man, "maximum potential"

  • WayneTreasury WAYNE ANDREWS (@WayneTreasury) reported

    @danwootton I'm currently not getting a signal at all on Channel 236 on Freeview - any idea why?

  • RealNewsUK News (@RealNewsUK) reported

    Should I report @RamadaHotels to @Ofcom for blocking @GBNews in their hotels or is it an Ofcom plan? RT News & Al Jazeera News also "no signal." Who owns them ? Rockafilla? Freeview is being censored.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    TV breakdown update: Channel 5 now able to restore most services on all platforms. Exception:5 Select still off air on Freeview, but running normally on satellite. Channel 4's services worst affected across the board, although 4seven still running with a rpt of Grand Designs.

  • word_soup Ian (@word_soup) reported

    @SuperRetroid Had that on my first freeview pvr & after the initial novelty had worn off I basically never used it.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Dreadful picture quality for More 4 Freeview viewers in North East England, still off air in other regions. While for others, everything is working fine. Why? That particular part of the Freeview service is regionalised and there are multiplexing issues in some areas.

  • a516digital Mike (ex-a516digital) (@a516digital) reported

    Channel 4 on satellite is working (if you want to watch Deadpool 2). Problems persist on Freeview in some regions - this is because of the way C4 is distributed on terrestrial TV. Example C4 SD: E Mids Freeview: blank screen with 4 logo top left. North East Freeview: normal.

  • Kryfold_Sky Kryfold Sky (@Kryfold_Sky) reported

    Either my tellys broke or several freeview channels have gone down? 📺

  • FreeviewAdvice Freeview Advice (@FreeviewAdvice) reported

    @sminkypinky76 @The_X_Stitcher Hi, You could try and manually tune into one transmitter to avoid this issue. It would be dependent upon how your aerial is aligned. We would be happy to help. Please DM Freeview Advice your postcode, house name and number. Melissa

    @101Maurice We get EE 4G but it's pretty patchy I live in a suburban area a couple of miles from Poole in Dorset and can't get a freeView signal so have to use Freesat....
