    @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

  • MaryMares81 mary whitfield (@MaryMares81) reported from Salford, England

    @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

  • AndyMcK1982 Andy McKeown (@AndyMcK1982) reported from Liverpool, England

    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

  • b33rbash_twitch b33rbash (e-beggar arc) (@b33rbash_twitch) reported

    @aliiscrying @JohnJohnNYC_ in the UK you buy a television license to access Freeview which is the terrestrial television service you can get with an antenna. The money goes to fund the BBC

  • leighelse else{} (@leighelse) reported

    Today I had the misfortune of exploring the available programming on New Zealand's Freeview TV channels. I'm clearly not anyone's target market; to me it looks like wall-to-wall crap with brief sparkles of joy on Maori TV.

  • DonPedley1 Don Pedley (@DonPedley1) reported

    Have questioned why so few stations on Freeview in BN12 area. The reply from Freeview indicates reception in the area is poor as only a relay service & many stations not provided. Here is the conversation & how to complain to improve the service if you agree (I want Sky Arts)

  • JusLord JK (@JusLord) reported

    @Stillnocomment @chrisnagle Where I am, the Freeview is utter ****! I get about 15 TV channels. 1/2 mile up the road, they switch to a different transmitter & have the lot. I watch too much TV as is so is possibly a blessing but obv. I don't get as much value for £ from the bastarding TV licence as some.

  • thestegmeister GlenS (@thestegmeister) reported

    @wchannel thank god you go live on Freeview on Monday. That awful ad with Stacey Dooley is as annoying as someone dragging their nails down a chalkboard.

  • beckybaldock77 Becky (@beckybaldock77) reported

    @insimonated Thanks fella. I'm trying to get away from Virgin at the moment. Have sorted freeview now so will be calling to cancel all services shortly once I've sourced replacement WiFi provider. Virgin offered me a £2 reduction in my *almost* £100 monthly bill to remove the following:

  • Louise243 LS (@Louise243) reported

    @commaficionado I think I preferred analogue TV static to when the Freeview boxes first came out, because you could still watch through a bit of static, but with digital it would go all pixelated and then lose the signal when there was a bad storm, which happened quite often in rainy Manchester.

    @TenV56 Hi, Deepest apologies for the delay in response. I am so very sorry to learn you are experiencing issues with your Freeview reception. Can you please DM Freeview Advice along with your postcode and house/name number and we will look in to this for you. Melissa
