    @robin_parkes oh yeah I bet that was annoying, we've never had that problem here on all the tvs and boxes you get to pick what channels go at which numbers. Before ITV HD was at 3 it had adverts for kent and the wrong local news which is why they couldn't put it at 3. Still happens on Freeview

    @Andrew98732942 Hi, I am so very sorry, Freeview currently do not offer a Wi-fi only service. Can you please drop us a DM along with your parents postcode and we can offer advice on the existing set up. Thank you,

    Had no Freeview channels whatsoever for 3 hours! I'm fed up with this. Picture and sound has been awful since Thursday. I want a refund on my licence fee!

    @BBCNews Oh poor thing diddums! When I was 20 you didn't have "Freeview" or a single channel to watch for nothing. And you went out when you could afford it. That encouraged you to work to better yourself. Zero sympathy.

    Tit, ***** b*llocks and bum gums! Was getting ready to watch QI XL and the bloody TV went poof! Damn you #Freeview. Have they not found a way yet to cope with fog and high pressure! Humph! Internet it is then!

  • ahappystitcher Sally-Jane 💙💛🌻 (@ahappystitcher) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @aj2squared @MattCainWriter We have 4 tvs. 2 running off 2 feeds and 2 running off a different feed. All feeds are from the same aerial and the 3 tvs with working Internal freeview boxes are getting zero signal, so think the problem is at or below our aerial.

    @Tipler1983 Considering most people have sky, virgin, freeview & even the skullduggery of IPTV I doubt very much we'll have any broadcasting issues. Plus all shows are on their on demand services which are international

  • cashinol 🅽🅸🅲🅺 🇪🇸🇺🇦 (@cashinol) reported
