    @Johnson66892442 @Nick_Metcalfe One thing which may help is that you can go to red button by choosing channel 981 on Sky or 301 on freeview, if you want to avoid iplayer👍

    Anyone having problems at the minute with Freeview? The last couple of days I haven’t had any tv, it just says check your aerial antenna.

    Come on Freeview, sort out the signal in Hastings!!! @freeview

  • ihatemogs Micheál O'Fiach (@ihatemogs) reported

    @crusaders1898 @andrewhdonohoe @Saraita101 No because it's called Saorview here, uses slightly different technology and doesn't carry BBC channels, only RTÉ and a few other domestic channels. Freeview, the UK system, is available in border areas where the signal leaks over the border, impossible to change.

  • TerryMeehan1234 Terry Meehan (@TerryMeehan1234) reported

    @FreeviewTV Hi Freeview 101 BBC has no EPG since your retune. Can you fix that please?

  • VicSponge Vic... (@VicSponge) reported

    @Adam373032869 I like it sometimes but the picture quality on freeview is very poor for some reason, almost like its underpowered.

  • Pwrf7doggo Mr. E (The 2-stroke years) (@Pwrf7doggo) reported

    @MovetheWorld9 @novaramedia This time in standard English rather than poor signal freeview.

    @genetis Here’s my random selection: Cheese grater (satisfying, until … grated finger nail and gristle). Open fire (evolutionarily enjoyable, but … ow, burning!). Freeview TV Guide (more a UX thing, but … it will never load when I’m in a hurry).

  • dr1141 D (@dr1141) reported

    @SteveWalesPhoto @StansaidAirport @DavidBflower That's modern technogy, we still have our Baird 405 line set with those spindly screw in legs. Problem is reception of Freesat / Freeview is frankly rubbish. But we like that screensaver when we turn off at night. This fading dot - riveting.

  • snailmancer 🜏 (@snailmancer) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice we have got freeview at this postcode, the problem is the one for all indoor aerial i'm using. i don't know how those can be allowed on the market because they clearly don't work. in any case, just gonna get a splitter and get signal off of freeview box in other room. thanks tho

    @snailmancer Hi, there. Sorry to hear that you're having problems receiving Freeview but if you can DM us your postcode along with house number or name, we can check predicted coverage in the area and advise from there. Fraser
